The Honesty Shop, a concept in Trust
TheHonestyShop. com is a unique High Street / Online Retailer for British Crafts and Handmade Gifts. Unique, because we focus and promote a responsible retailing by donating 10 % of the profit from every purchase to a charity of customers choice. An electronic‘ Thank you Certificate’ is provided from a selected Charity and a Customer can either print it or request a hard copy in the post.
Housed in a classic double-decker bus is the world ' s first honesty shop in a city, where you can find a wide selection of British handmade crafts and gifts. We trust our customers to self administer their payments in Honesty Envelopes posted in our red GPO box on the bus( there is a ' Bus Conductor ' in an office on the top deck if needed). This gives The Honesty Shop an unusual and controversial high street presence that creates both visibility and publicity.
Our online store www. thehonestyshop. com continues to build a brand name to do with ' trust '. We only choose carefully selected quality products that are responsibly produced in the UK.
This innovative approach to honesty, trust and charity in the retail environment has been picked up by both Mary Portas and GFK the international industry analysts, both of whom have praised The Honesty Shop ' s initiative.
GFK ' s Edith Hornick concluded her article with " I think it would be wise for companies in all sectors to consider taking a leaf from The Honesty Shop ' s book in 2013 ".
