We hope one will resonate with you. Open a new True Generation Of African Link store.True Goal offers two models to those groups or individuals interested in opening a new store in their community. True Goal’s staff are available to
support local efforts from organizing and fundraising to ongoing store operations. All locally owned True Generation Of African Link stores are required to sign a Licensing and Distribution Agreement outlining the standards and rights of operating a True Generation Of African Link store. True Generation Of African Link also opens new company- owned stores in dynamic retail markets.
We are always receptive to suggestions for locating our next new store.
Host a Festival Sale Our Festival Sale program enables groups to sell our merchandise without the large investment a year round store requires. Festival Sales bring a global marketplace of fair trade merchandise to communities for a short term event where individuals and organizations can support the mission of True-goal.Festival Sales are not intended to be fundraisers, but organizers may deduct a small percentage of total sales to help cover certain overhead expenses. Proceeds of Festival Sales are returned to True Generation Of African Link so we can purchase more handicrafts and support more artisans and farmers.
Open an Alliance Store Account Currently, more than 17 fair trade specialty stores also carry True Goal’s merchandise as a product line within their store. To the public consumer, these stores are known by a wide variety of names. We refer to themas Alliance Stores. As an Alliance Account, you are a wholesale customer for us. As such, you may purchase these products for resale in your existing or new store.
