Beam Impact

We offer a software platform for eCommerce brands. It helps boost customer loyalty, conversion rates, average order value (AOV), and retention by adding transparent, gamified social impact initiatives. Our platform lets customers direct about 1% of their purchase value to a high-impact nonprofit from a selection we curate, at no extra cost to them. This system helps customers feel a personal connection by showing them the real impact of their spending, like funding ocean plastic removal or providing meals.

We partner with over 130 brands, including Instacart, Roots Canada, and Parade. Our platform features customizable user interfaces. Brands can either display their current nonprofit partners or use our vetted list. We provide clear impact tracking, which lets customers see real-world outcomes. We also offer personalized options, like suggesting nonprofits based on a customer’s location. For retention, we send real-time updates on funding progress, allowing customers to track their personal and community contributions with each order.

Our platform also aids acquisition and retention through automated emails and texts that update customers on impact. These messages can encourage friend referrals and offer tailored, shareable content via a customer dashboard. We have seen concrete business results for brands: a 17% increase in cart completion rate, a 15% increase in average order value, and a 30% conversion rate for customers making a second purchase within 90 days. Our overall targets are a 1% lift in conversion rate, AOV, and 90-day retention. For subscription brands, we aim for a 1% lift in subscription signups and 90-day long-term retention (LTR). To date, we have helped fund over 7 million meals for food-insecure communities, prevented over 2 million lbs of CO2, provided 100,000+ meals for dogs in shelters, and supported over 250 hours of free therapy for Black/LGBTQIA+ individuals.
