Founder and CEO Marshall Jackson Sr. said, "It is very important to note, we are not using tricky wording or fine print. We actually Donate 30% of all the Product Sales, not of the Profit we make on the product, which would equate to a much smaller amount. Also, we are not charging absorbent amounts for the products we are offering which usually has to happen in order for a company to Donate 30% of its product sales. Basically we have combined the popular discount Store concept with supporting good causes, this way everyone can benefit."
Of course, from Marshall's perspective everything is great for everyone. Which on the surface, the benefits mentioned and the benefits not mentioned like discounted or free shipping sound like music to everyone's ears. However, it seems like there may be more to this story. The Power of Good Network Inc. donating 30% of their product sales to charity is without a doubt a really good thing, but what exactly are they selling. Their stores look nice and easy to navigate but their product selection looks just ok. If a consumer is looking for Oldies Music CDs, Karaoke CDGs, or Children's products the consumer may be very happy; however, the DVD and General Merchandise categories, to mention a few, are very limited.
Marshall's defense to this issue was, "We are offering discount products, and our inventory changes often on a real-time basis, so from time-to-time our inventory may be limited in some categories. The good news is we are always adding new products, and if a consumer finds something they like, they will get a pretty good deal while a good cause will benefit from that transaction." It can be reasonably assumed that many consumers will agree with Marshall's statement; however, it is also reasonable to assume many consumers will not jump on his band wagon, unless they are really eager to support a specific good cause.
