Greetings!!

We are GLOBALECOBRANDS.COM, and we present for your reading, viewing, and contributing pleasure:

EcoSavers Energy Saving Box Program!!


“Everyday efficiency through innovation”

Founded in early 2014 by small business owners Joe Lax and Simone Virden, GlobalEcoBrands.com is a virtual marketplace that focuses on innovative and forward-thinking product lines. We work directly with manufacturers that are passionate about reducing our consumption of natural resources, using renewable energy in everyday life, and of course, creating products that are high-quality.

“Reducing our imprint, increasing our impact”

Since the launch of GlobalEcoBrands.com, the one thing Simone and I noticed is we talk a good green-game here in the United States, but overall, our daily habits haven’t changed. So, we know we’re stressing our resource infrastructure, but there’s no education on how to reduce that stress. There’s no overall awareness of the magnitude of our continuous destruction of our own planet.

One of our manufacturers, EcoSavers, has the largest program of energy-saving products, and developed the ENERGY SAVINGS BOX in 2006. It’s a kit of 10 simple products that help you reduce consumption of resources (water, gas), use energy more efficiently, while saving you money. (On average, a small household can saving more than $200 annually in utilities.) Even more, it is a wonderful educational tool for all of us. Since its launch, the program has gained partners in many European countries, and the regional impact is clear. (See impact section below.)

GlobalEcoBrands.com has been asked to be the first North American partner, and we’re so excited! But we definitely need your help. Each contribution allows us not only to bring in more products, but also to gift them to under-resourced families. Furthermore, each view and share of this campaign increases awareness, and hopefully, fosters more conversation about the sustainability of energy.

FUNDING

So, here’s the deal. We’re asking for $10,000 (because asking for $10,000,000 would sounds nuts). And the breakdown is fairly simple:

Marketing – 40%

Product Acquisition – 30%

Logistics – 15%

Administration – 15%

You’re probably wondering why we would allocate more for marketing than the product in the boxes. Well, our biggest hurdle in all of this is awareness…of the product, but also of what problem the boxes are trying to solve. We want to engage individuals, businesses, schools, government, and utilities…and that takes time.

The Energy Saving Boxes will be available for sale on GlobalEcoBrands.com after this campaign, but we will not be selling them for profit. So, whether we reach our goal or not, the money will still be allocated in the same percentages to make as many boxes available as possible. AND…the EcoSavers Foundation has pledged 100 additional boxes if we exceed our contribution goal by $5,000. Talk about worldwide partners working together to make a global impact!

And our perks are so much fun! Of course, most incentive levels include an Energy Saving Box for you to keep, and/or to gift to someone in need. There are coupons and other products from GlobalEcoBrands.com, as well as an opportunity to determine where some of the boxes are donated! But, the main idea behind our perks, at all levels, is awareness.

IMPACT

In October of this year, Eco-Watch published a list of the “Top Ten Greenest Countries”. Of those ten, five (5!) of those countries are part of the EcoSavers Energy Saving Box network. EcoSavers owns many patents and design registrations on their products, and are constantly innovating. Because of that, they are able to quickly customize boxes that work better with specific infrastructures. And here’s how they did it:

Local Government: In the Netherlands, the boxes were given to under-resource families, and those on Social Security. Because they were given to individuals first, they were able to note the savings, and see the impact of awareness immediately.

Energy/Utility Companies: Once the savings were documented, these boxes were used as incentives for utility customers.

Corporate/Promotional: Businesses all over the world have Corporate Social Responsibility guidelines, and the boxes helped business meet certain CSR requirements while offering promotional/branding opportunities. (A few of the item in the ESB can be printed or “stickered”.)

RISKS

As a company, our biggest obstacle is our capacity. There are two of us taking on this movement, but we are dedicated to making a positive impact through our business. We thoroughly believe in ourselves, and in what we represent. GlobalEcoBrands.com is a sustained business; but to sustain this program we need help, and that’s why we’re launching this campaign. Regardless of the money raised, we are bringing the Energy Saving Box program stateside; but with your help, we can do it faster, more efficiently, and more importantly, we can create a much larger movement for reducing our imprint and preserving our planet.

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP

Share. Talk. Educate yourself, your children on the current state of our resources. From water shortages on the west coast, to strained electric infrastructure on the east coast, to high oil costs coast-to-coast, we are struggling. We cannot have smart infrastructure without smart products; and smart products are pointless without smart habits.

Visit our website www.globalecobrands.com for more solar, water, and human powered products perfect for everyday living. For us, this is bigger than Corporate Social Responsibility. It’s about helping families save money…it’s about teaching children and adults alike about energy conservation…it’s about taking a stand against the degradation of our resources, our environment, our planet.

Thank you thank you thank you for taking the time to read and/or watch, and like us on Facebook (/globalecobrands) for updates, information, and promotions.

Much love,

Joe and Simone
