A charitable Christmas?
Feb 2008
If you believe everything you read in the newspapers, you could easily believe that this Christmas was the first in several years to suffer from an economic downturn. Although high street sales are reported as disappointing, the story on the net is very different, especially in the charity sector.
Karova are pleased to report increased sales and donations across the majority of its charity sector clients this Christmas. Charities operating e-commerce websites have reported marked increases in sales especially within the eco-friendly and fair-trade product ranges. Karova's Peter Roxburgh said, "This Christmas we have seen the continuation of a trend where consumers are thinking more deeply about the impact of their Christmas spend."
Another area that has seen substantial growth over the past twelve months is online donations including paperless Direct Debit. A secure straightforward online process helps charities collect Direct Debit instructions with a massive administrative cost saving; where an offline setup may cost up to £100, the online equivalent can cost only pennies. Karova's Peter Roxburgh said, "we have worked very closely with a number of leading UK charities in developing automated paperless Direct Debit systems - the results of which are beyond even our expectations."
