Guffly.com - Buying Eco Friendly Products Online

Based in Detroit, Guffly is both a daily deal website and a community resource that revolves around eco-friendly products and a wide range of fair trade lifestyle goods that can be grouped in categories like personal, clothing, pet, home and office. A “Daily Guff” is always offered on its main page, and you can not only see the price but also the number of items that have been sold so far. And as well as viewing each and every featured product, site visitors can read comments about it, talk with others and buy it on the spot.

For its part, a tab that reads “Past Items” will empower you to see past guffs, study how trends are evolving and stay ahead of fashion.

Note that to reduce its environmental impact and provide a faster all-around service to its customers, Guffly makes a point of employing drop shipping directly from suppliers. Obviously, a concept such as this one is integral to a green business model as lower shipping costs are offered (benefiting the customer) while carbon dioxide emissions are reduced in turn, and the environment is benefited.

“Guffly is a one product per day online store and community featuring eco friendly products and fair trade lifestyle goods like home, pet, clothing, office and personal accessories. We've made it our job (literally!) to find only the most stylish eco friendly and fair trade products out there. We happen to think that making purchasing decisions you can feel good about doesn't have to mean committing to a life without style or convenience. We search high and low so that you can bet Guffly’s green products are stylish, fun and attractive – eco stylish if you will.”

Although daily deal websites have been around for a while and they have been wildly successful, most have overlooked an emerging market of style and environment conscious consumers looking for unique products. On the other hand, some of the other eco-friendly websites focus on items for children that do not appeal to the majority of the hip, green demographic. Guffly is different in the sense that it aims to meet the needs of this customer group.
