| 100 New Stores Opening in January
Over 100 new stores are being added in January and may already be visible when you read this. The variety is growing monthly and hopefully there is something for everyone. There are a few new ones, and a plenty of the old favorites like Target, Kohls and iTunes. Explore a few new ones, the variety of products out there is amazing.
If you have a favorite that you would like to see in our highlighted store of the month please let us know at newsletter@charityclubmall.com.
Almost all of the retailers now are offering gift options, so its easy to remember birthdays, anniversaries and convenient to ship a gift directly. Of course there are plenty of flowers for some of the spring favorites like Mother's Day and 'Assistants' Day.
Remember also that almost any holiday can delight someone just by sending them a plant. | |

What is coming for Me ?
Many of our participants are now offering specials and coupons. We are looking into ways where you can get additional discounts on specials each month.
The hard part of course is that we have so many participants, that the number of specials in hard to peruse, so please send us your preferred stores for discounts. We hope to make this more fun in the future.
Another new feature that is being planned is a simple poll or survey for the site to help us customize future programs better—And perhaps add a little fun. | |

FAQs
How do we get the children to send out the emails ? They don’t seem to be interested ?
This is a common issue and a favorite question. It helps if the teachers are aware of the program, and can somehow inspire this activity to be on homework assignment. It also is critical that the parent know about it, and that they can help by filling out the names collection sheet from the resource page. This collection sheet is intended to put some real goals and bounds on what might be perceived as an abstract goal. They should be asked to send out a certain number and with a real date on it. Parents will always need to reinforce this as it doesn’t just happen.
Parents might reward sending them out with perhaps an itune song for every five names. Or even every name if you can handle it. It’s a nice reward.
Why are we collecting birthdays ?
It seems unrelated to supporting our favorite schools but collecting birthdays in part of an upcoming service that we hope to roll out in 2008. We plan to be able to eventually create a friends and family concept whereby friends and family will be notified when you or your family has a birthday, as a reminder—so that at you can send an e-card, flowers, or even a gift.
Watch for more on birthdays in the coming months. | |

Organization News
In 2008 we will begin collecting key websites for your favorite schools, churches and clubs, so that you can always stay up-to-date on their activities. Please let your members know that you would like to keep updated with current news and events.
Your favorite organization is hoping that each and every supporter makes at least one internet purchase per month, so remember that when you make a purchase please begin at the CharityClubMall.com site. If there are particular stores that you would prefer to use, we will try to add them to our program if possible. Just let us know. It just might be possible. | |

Did you Know - Unusual Services at CCM
WWW.Travelocity.com
When searching for various retailers on CharityClubMall.com many people search for traditional retail type stores but there are many interresting and unusual services available as well.
Yes you can book your vacations here and get good rewards for your organization. Remember that you need to first select your organization and they enter your dream destination.
Any yes, you can use this for business travel as well.
Ebay for our Supporters
Ebay works a bit different than many of the other services. Ebay provides rewards when sellers sign up through our mall portal. They also provide additional rewards out of their profits (Not yours), when you make a sale. This is a great opportunity to set up with Ebay as a seller and reap rewards all year long as you sell things.
Some groups are setting up permanent Ebay garage sales and selling continuously all year long to raise money for their organizations. Now you get double the value of this other money-raising system. Just sign up through the mall. | | |

What's New On the Site
Besides the New Stores there are a few new features that make it easier to continue shopping at a second store after you have completed shopping at the first.
Adding to your "Favorites" or "Bookmarks" is a very specific but easy operation and for our frequent shoppers it could save one or two clicks. Select your organization from the menu, and then go shopping. Right at that point we know your organization, so right then and there is the time to "Add to Favorites". Or you could just bookmark our home page. Remember that every purchase made through the mall portal benefits your organization.
Tell-A-Friend is getting more popular, and is a great way to let your friends know about us. But as always we are sending this out from our server, so it could easily be blocked by your ISP or email provider as junk or spam. Hopefully later this year we will add features to allow you to customize the letter itself. | |
