Buy Corporate Gifts From Aura and Donate Big!

It has been a great week at Aura Collective.

Out of the blue, a wonderful mid-size regional company purchased a range of items from Aura and in so doing, initiated a $300+ donation to the Huntington Society of Canada. And all this company did was purchase thoughtful gifts for their employees or customers from Aura Collective.

I wish every company had the foresight to understand that, by purchasing corporate gifts from Aura Collective, the company is supporting remarkable Canadian artists and, at the same time, supporting the company's charity of choice. Why? Because Aura Collective donates 15% of the retail price of every item sold to the customer's charity of choice.

Let's take an example. Say XYZ company wants to give each of its 50 employees a Christmas gift (or perhaps a thank you gift for winning that big account or contract). The company can purchase a range of pieces from the Aura website - or a company rep can give us a call on 1-888-318-AURA (2872).

During checkout, the customer (company) is asked to select a charity. Like most Canadian companies, the company supports a particular charity (ABC charity) as part of its social responsibility charter. The purchaser simply enters ABC charity in the Charity Selector Tool during checkout, and voila! Aura Collective donates 15% of the total order value to ABC charity. Remember that you can select from any of the 85,000-odd registered charities in Canada when purchasing from Aura Collective.

Pretty wild, eh?

Everyone wins - the company, the employees, the artist, and of course the charity.

I love coming into work in the morning...
