Working with Us

The Spaice model lets retail and non-profit organizations work towards the same goal, not against each other, by focusing on three key areas:

1. Reducing excessive consumption;
2. Exposing the hidden costs of our shopping habits;
3. Channel profits to serve society.

We realize this with partners in the following areas:

Excessive Consumption

Spaice breaks the marketing spell, letting us question why we 'need' to buy yet more stuff.

Our partners show us alternatives – using our money and time for the things that really matter – maybe a weekend break to a cottage in Cornwall, a walk and picnic in The Forest of Dean, or a day of whale, dolphin, and porpoise watching off the Scottish coast.

Profits for Social Good

At least 60% of profits go to organisations working to improve our world, the rest to expand the business. No profits are given to shareholders or investors.

• 20% goes to the customer's preferred partner every time they make a purchase.
  
• 40% or more goes to projects that Spaice believes most effectively tackle the root causes of our troubles.

How You Benefit

• You don't compromise your values, because Spaice believes in and wants the same things as you – we just use a different set of tools, global capitalism to support you and serve society.
• A channel to communicate with new potential supporters and advocates.
• A unified, clear and precise message on what is and isn't acceptable behaviour.
• Practical solutions for your supporters to take action supporting their principles.
• Increase our collective power to influence manufacturer policies and practices.
• A showcase of alternatives to 'more stuff' where health, family, friends, Nature, and community matter more.
• A low cost new source of funding that grows as Spaice expands worldwide.

Collaborating with Us

We want to work with you to encourage a more moral and healthier society, leading us away from consumption and greed and towards living and equity.

We'd love your help to realize our common goals with:

• Stories and campaigns that encourage and showcase sustainable living as a benefit not sacrifice;
• Alternative 'products' to encourage people to engage with life instead of buying their way through it;
• Helping your supporters get to the truth before they buy.

There is no cause related marketing here so get in touch now about collaboration that doesn't compromise your principles.

With Spaice your efforts to protect the people, life, and environments become a competitive advantage because our customers want to know that you care about your children too.

Consumers are becoming more aware of the consequences of their lifestyle and you already feel the pressure to audit your operations; it is almost inevitable that your customers, pressure groups and, legislation will demand ever increasing transparency.

Protecting the interests of society should not be a marketing ploy, it is an obligation. You know that you flourish in a healthy, happy, society and your customers are more loyal when you demonstrate that you really do respect them and their values.

You Gain by Taking a Lead

• A large and rapidly growing market for responsibly produced products.
• Product exposure - our site shows only the best products, so yours are not lost among thousands of inferior alternatives.
• Brand image - Your message of genuine social concern elevates you above the dishonest green-wash of your competitors.
• Customer loyalty and vocal advocacy through shared values a creating Lifetime Value for you.
• With cost transparency we reveal the previously hidden value of your organization reducing price pressure – our customers have already demonstrated a commitment to conscience over cheap.

If your manufacturing or distribution organization takes human, environmental, and animal rights seriously then you should speak with us.

We believe in true partnerships; not one where agreements are loaded against you, where your margins are cut and your products are one among thousands.

Instead, real partnerships that bring authenticity to co-marketing, value to customers and a more beneficial relationship brought about by trust and guarantee of deliverables.

We can create a sustainable competitive advantage and significant lifetime value for your brand through the loyalty and advocacy of our well-informed and discerning customers.

These are the prime qualities we seek, consistent with our own offering:

• Morality and transparency in your manufacturing and supply chain
• High quality components built to last
• Responsible marketing
• First rate support & back up
• Emphasis on good design for use and recovery
• Excellent value for all your customers and partners

Spaice puts people and Nature first, and that begins with our own people.

Everyone is treated fairly with some simple rules:

• No one will receive less than a living wage and that includes any contractors that we directly engage.
• Responsibility and promotion is earned through demonstrated ability, not length of service or office politics.
• Salaries are based on merit (i.e. the work being done, not secret negotiations or favouritism) so everyone knows what competencies they need to achieve to earn more.

• There are no bonuses, commissions, or other such incentives because they encourage bias and conflict.
• The highest salary will never be more than ten times that of the lowest paid employee.
• All senior management salaries and employee pay scales will be published to keep things open and fair.
• We will thank people for staying with us with extra holiday – two extra days for every full year of service on top of the standard 28 days everyone gets (based on a 40 hour working week).
• Our standard working week is 24 hours (3 days) so people can work less and live more; they can, but don't have to, add extra hours for a 40 hour (5 day) week.
