Zavee – Local Shopping, Selling, and Donating All At Once

Submitted by Craig Agranoff on Monday, 31 May 2010 No Comment

Zavee is a Florida-local website centering from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach.  The site allows merchants to put up products and special deals for consumers to shop for on the site.  A piece of every interaction is also donated to a local charity of the customer’s choice and in their name.

The idea is complicated to explain, but simple to understand once you see it in motion.  Merchants get the benefit of having local-centric marketing that builds via online word-of-mouth.  Shoppers have the benefit of finding local deals with local businesses which also reward them with donations to their favorite charities.  Charities get donations from shoppers who support them.

One of the aspects of Zavee that creates all of that word-of-mouth is the user reviews and business recommendations that go along with the shopping experience.  This allows locals to see what others think of a specific business, to find outlets they may not have known of before, and (of course) to find great deals.

Zavee is a good idea for a locally-based platform for sales and interactions.  Purchases can take place live and still count through the Zavee system and everyone wins in the Zavee scenario.  The concept and site are new, so participation is somewhat limited, but it appears to be growing quickly.

It’s open to all business and charity types and anyone who shops using a credit or debit card can shop through the site’s network as well.

It’s free to use and worth a try.
