Meyer, a published author, speaker, and green columnist, says her inspiration for founding the store came out of the frequent inquiries she received about green products. “My consumer has embraced the concept of going green. So many of the questions I get are not necessarily geared towards what to do but, rather, what to buy and where to shop.” Meyer realized that eco-conscious shoppers needed a central place to go to get a variety of great products in high-demand categories, get simple-to-understand information, and enjoy the shopping experience all while feeling that they are making a difference. And TheUltimateGreenStore.com is designed to show consumers that going green doesn’t come at the sacrifice of quality, selection, and style. “I want to dispel the myth that an organic product doesn’t feel good, look good, smell good, or that you have to forego beauty or luxury for the sake of being environmentally friendly,” says Meyer.
Many of the products sold at TheUltimateGreenStore.com are manufactured by some of the most socially responsible companies on earth. The store also carries green products made by companies that did not start out with environmental concerns in mind, but now realize the importance of sustainable practices and production in launching green lines within their category. TheUltimateGreenStore.com hopes that in supporting these manufacturers, they will continue to move in this positive direction. The site offers valuable information about all of the products and the manufacturers without overwhelming the shopper; illustrating how the products offer meaningful impact to the consumer’s quality of life and solution-oriented value to the environment, while ensuring customer satisfaction throughout the shopping experience.
This fall, The Ultimate Green Store has announced the launch of their "Save the Planet - Sustain A School" program. The Ultimate Green Store has set up a division of its affiliate program for schools to be able to fundraise online. A percentage of every sale that results from a click from the school website or e-newsletter will go back to the school. The program is open to any school - public or private - at any level from elementary schools to universities
