Moderne Press: Riviera Magazine - Orange County

Moderne Press
Our very own owner, Janet Hamada, is featured in the June issue of Riviera Magazine - Orange County... highlighting all of her charity work and how she has incorporated philanthropic strategies to get people to give back.

While Janet knows that I am writing this blog post.. she thinks I am going to just talk about the fashion... but I wanted to take a second to highlight HER.

I've been at Moderne for over a year and yet, it is still surprising to learn that Janet Hamada is this involved with charity work. Sure, you hear her always on the move- going from one meeting to a networking mixer to charity event... But it turns out that she really is THAT involved.

Janet is constantly looking to tie Moderne into community events - not only for marketing / branding purposes, but also to get community involvement from our customers and local clients. Turns out that she is truly dedicated to provide Moderne as a vehicle for philanthropy.

Through Moderne Cares - the shopping fundraiser facilitated through online sales and donations- our store is able to reach a separate demographic who may have been apprehensive in making their $200 dress purchase. Moderne Cares allows customers to spend their money wisely... all while getting a discount for their own order.

Now onto the fashion. What is Janet wearing in the photo?
How AMAZING is this maxi dress from Wink?
I still remember Janet trying to find the perfect photoshoot look - something carefree and indicative or her style.. all while looking polished and elegant.
Think she nailed it, don't you?

Moderne Cares: Philanthropic Shopping Initiative

Get Involved. Give Back.

We all hear about giving back to those who are less fortunate, or helping out a worthwhile cause, but often times it can be a challenge to find the right outlet. Some of us have more time than others.. Others have a stronger connection to the cause...

Whatever your reason or excuse may be, we should all be doing our best to offer the best to everyone.

Question: So how does an online store like Moderne give back to the community?

Answer: Through Moderne Cares

Moderne Cares is a philanthropic shopping initiative created to bring you, our customers, the opportunity to give back to the community and the organizations that need our support.

All through the comfort of shopping from our own computers.

Through Moderne Cares, we have created a program where your purchase generates a donation to the non-profit organization you are supporting.

Over the past 2 years we have worked with several non-profit organizations - through seasonal or temporary campaigns. Each non profit organization in the Moderne Cares program is given a specific promo code. When orders are placed with those codes, the non-profit organization gets a donation.

Not only does this program generate outside donations to the organization, but it also gives organization supporters the opportunity to give back via donations through shopping.

If you are a non-profit organization looking to generate donations through online shopping - please contact Dani at info@shopmoderne.com to sign up your 501c(3) non-profit for Moderne Cares!
