It was just a few months ago that Good.ly launched, and already it’s getting bigger and better!
We created Good.ly to encourage Twitter and Facebook users to tell their friends about their favourite products; in turn, generating sales, and raising money for charity.
To take the next step with the service, there’s now a new incarnation that offers unprecedented accessibility for online retailers.
‘Chat for Charity’ is a small widget that appears on the retailer’s sale confirmation page; encouraging the buyer to post about their purchase, with the incentive that a percentage of any resulting sales would go to the charity of the retailer’s choosing.
The entire percentage – chosen by the retailer, will go to charity.
Our first partner in the project is the brilliant Prezzybox.com, with the widget going live on their site late last week.
Prezzybox.com’s Marketing Manager Zak Edwards has posted the following piece regarding the implementation; www.thebeardedwarrior.co.uk
We’re super excited – we can’t wait for you to try it!

Miss Good.ly Two Shoes would like to thank everybody who posted a Good.ly URL yesterday!
We had even more people visiting Good.ly than last 100% Charity Tuesday, and we want the number to keep growing, so tell all your friends!
You may have noticed when creating a Good.ly shortened URL that some text pops up underneath the box.
This text tells you if the link you’ve created can raise money for charity or not.
If the link is for a retailer we’re not working with, or it’s not a product/service link, it will say a little something like this:
“The website URL you just shortened will not raise money for charity as it’s not participating in our program. Read more here, or take a gander at the list of some of our shops that will raise money.”
‘The list’ is a cool page on the Good.ly site that gives you a taste of some of the online retailers we work with – if your Good.ly link is for one of their products, you can be sure any sales commissions generated will go to charity. We have loads and loads more retailers on board, and you can simply find out if your URL will make money anytime you use Good.ly. If it says this:
“Congratulations, this shortened URL can raise money. Share this link with your friends, and 55% of commissions from any sales generated will go to your chosen charity.” (Or 100% on Charity Tuesday!)
Hooray! Your URL will turn the cogs of the Good.lyfier 3000 and helps those who need it most!
Why not take it for a spin?!
