Giving is the New Selling: The i=Change Story | #044

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Jeremy Meltzer from i=Change. Jeremy and his team have raised over $2m to help women and girls escape out of poverty, abuse and slavery, partnering with brands such as PE Nation, PillowTalk and National Tiles. Jeremy discusses the impact that i=Change is making, how retailers can start giving (and converting) almost immediately and why he thinks the secret to retail in the future will be product as well as purpose.Links from the episode:i=ChangeGrill’dDr BarryBy CharlotteSodashiPaul Polman, UnileverLarry Fink, Black RockPatagoniaJulie Mathers, Flora & FaunaJeremy’s Ted Talk, ‘Where is Men’s Roar?’Signet and Lush Cosmetics (sponsored)Shopify’s The Future of eCommerce report (sponsored)Questions answered in the podcast include:What inspired you to start i=Change?Tell us about the link between adding i=Change and the commercial uplift you are seeing with your retailersWhat’s the most challenging part of running a social enterprise in Australia?This episode was brought to you by…  SignetShopify PlusAbout your co-host: Jeremy Meltzer from i=ChangeOne of Australia’s leading social entrepreneurs, Jeremy Meltzer is Founder of i=Change, Australia’s fastest-growing social impact tech startup.
