WEBSITE HELPS LOCAL, CITY, STATE AND GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES DEAL WITH BUDGET SHORTFALLS

CompaniesThatCare.com, a website by Gemcor International, is offering a new program that allows local, county, city, state, and governmental agencies to easily create an online shopping mall--and earmark the commissions earned towards their financial budget.

YARDLEY, PA (PRWEB) October 1, 2003 -- Gemcor International has launched an effort to help local, county, state, and federal agencies reduce their budget shortfalls. By creating an online shopping mall through CompaniesThatCare.com, local, state or federal agencies can benefit by encouraging their employees or citizens to shop through the online mall with the commissions earned put towards their budget.

CompaniesThatCare.com is a website that allows companies to create free online shopping malls. Now the same technology being used for companies can be applied to government entities looking to raise money for budgetary purposes. Purchases made through the mall by employees or citizens earn commissions which can be earmarked for any specific program or department, or even the general budget. The fund allocation decision is left entirely up to the government entity that creates the mall. Recent budget shortfalls have left governments and agencies no choice but to seek alternative ways to increase funding. This new program attempts to address this problem.

Creating an online shopping mall at http://www.CompaniesThatCare.com only takes a few minutes, and can be customized as needed. Once the online shopping mall is created, employees or citizens can shop at more than 200 online stores, including Dell, OfficeMax, Land's End, Hallmark, Gateway, Petsmart, Orbitz, Amazon.com, The Sharper Image, HSN, and Wal-Mart. Shoppers will pay the same exact price for products as if they had gone to the merchant site directly, and can still take advantage of any other available discounts or special offers.

Richard Raiton, from Gemcor International, recently said, "CompaniesThatCare.com is one of our efforts to give back to the community by enabling others to earn revenue with a low cost, high yield program that joins citizens and government working together. The revenue earned will certainly not totally take care of entire budget shortfalls, but every bit sure helps."

There are no membership, support, maintenance, reporting or service charges. CTCs fee comes from a share of the commissions earned from the merchants that are featured on the online shopping mall. Through this new program, the local, state, county, or federal agency will receive 85% of the Net Commission Revenue of their online shopping mall, while CTC retains only 15% to cover its costs associated with maintaining and supporting each mall. The local, state, county, or agency that establishes the online shopping mall has full control over where the proceeds go.
