About Good Press

Good Press is about more than margin. Ours is a six-fold bottom line: people, planet, purpose, profit, participation and prosperity.

Good causes have specific values surrounding labor practices, sustainability and product sourcing that can make print-on-demand merch a non-starter. Even without these barriers they often lack access to professional design and marketing services.

The Good Press model removes each of these barriers to entry, and provides Non-Profits, Unions, and Co-ops with a comprehensive merchandising solution that not only meets their values, but also amplifies the mission.

Here, they can launch ethically-produced branded merchandise online shops, through a model that has the added benefit of supporting the Solidarity Economy.

By providing easy, efficient, and affordable access to online shops, production capacity, shipping, administration, artists, and promoters – organizations will have a better outreach tool plus more time to work for the greater good.

The Problems Good Press is Solving:

Good causes need branded merch for fundraising and awareness, but small to mid-sized orgs struggle to invest in bulk printed inventory.
Most commercially available Print-On-Demand merchandise options employ unethical labor and sourcing practices.
Tax collection and remittance make e-commerce administration unwieldy for org staff.
Professional marketing design/messaging resources are often out of reach, making most branded merchandise less appealing to the public and less effective.

The Good Press Platform

Good Press is a community where good causes can find artists & designers to make ethically-sourced merch. Donors can discover & support orgs & amplify their messages on t-shirts, mugs, tote bags & more.

Organizations get affordable online shops to highlight ethical merch for donors. Once a shop is launched, promoters can help to spread the word & augment reach online.

Each sale pays for its labor, supports ethical production, and delivers donations. This “virtuous cycle” promotes itself, as more good causes see the value of tangible advocacy in the real world.
