THE UNITY CONCEPT
Understanding Your Customer
Unity is the next generation in understanding your customers, because as your customers evolve so does Unity. Customer values change and evolve and Unity is designed to adapt to these changes to develop greater understanding, increase loyalty and define lifetime value. For the first time corporate giving policies can truly connect with the intrinsic values of their customers by listening and then providing them with choice and the ability to make a difference. This translates into a direct and measurable impact on customer engagement.
The Circle of Corporate Giving
By supporting the causes of your corporate customers you are able to create a deeper relationship with your partners and suppliers. This common connection builds loyalty as well as affording your business the opportunity to enjoy both the social and policy driven benefits of engaging with other socially minded businesses.
Charitable Impact
Whether you’re a charity looking to raise money or a charity lover that is looking to contribute and make a difference, it’s easy to raise money for your favourite cause. Simply shop at a participating Unity Business or engage with Unity Business to Customer and Business to Business programs and direct your friends and family too. Unity handles the rest! Unity will ensure a percentage of your purchase or transaction value will be forwarded to your selected charities.
Loyalty & Rewards
Add Unity to your existing rewards program to really connect with your customer and get to understand what is important to them. Let cash back payments, discounted services and free product rewards be converted to charitable donations. Knowing your customer and supporting what they believe in will bring a new level to your loyalty offering.
Data
Understanding todays customer is about more then tracking spend and age demographics. Its about understanding what motivates and inspires them and forms part of their belief system that dictates the way they live and what they do. Unity gives businesses and charities the ability to get into the minds of their customers and donors to get a true and deeper understanding of who they really are and what they want.
The Unity Project makes it easy for businesses and charities to participate by offering seamless processing behind the scenes. All aspects of donating, reconciling transactions, billing, auditing, tax receipts, and more. Unity also offer custom back-end integration options for more technically advanced businesses that require bespoke solutions. Sophisticated technology and systems allow for money to flow seamlessly to the members’ charities.
TESTIMONIALS
“The Unity Project provides a way for people who believe in their community to direct their spending to both the businesses and the causes they care about in a single transaction. It creates an opportunity for business and non-profit to work together to strengthen communities.” – Community Sector Council of Nova Scotia
“When Stephen shared with me his vision for the Unity Project I immediately recognized that in the elegance of this social enterprise is the opportunity to make big and meaningful changes using small, incremental steps. Not only can this project be scaled quickly and adapted for different international markets but I am confident that it will resonate with individuals, like our alumni, who want to make an impact on the world which reflects their own values and purpose.” – Patricia Bradshaw, Dean of the Sobey School of Business, Saint Mary’s University.
“I believe that this is an opportunity for businesses, and those committed to supporting us, who are ecologically and socially conscious to join together and have a much greater impact in their communities and around the world.” – P’Lovers
“Students hold a higher social conscience than ever before and the concept that Unity provides allows students to be more active in giving back to their community. I really think this is a great opportunity to build stronger relationships between the business world and our campuses and I’m excited to see the idea grow with our student body” – Kelly Keddy, VP Student Life of Dalhousie Student Union, Dalhousie University
“Unity’s stakeholder approach represents an opportunity for a win-win-win. As a charity stakeholder, we look forward to partnering and seeing Unity grow into a movement our donors will want to support, as well as attract new donors who want to give back.”
– The QEII Foundation
