Homespun Environmental
Homespun Environmental is a niche store specializing in practical water filter components and kits for the DIYer. This allows our customers to realize substantial savings over factory made systems that many of our competitors offer and also allows for a high degree of customization of systems based of specific needs and local conditions.
We strive to create win-win solutions for ourselves, our customers, small independent business partners, and the communities in which we do business. We keep our prices low, use the local post office in our little town as much as possible, 'tithe' a portion of our proceeds to those in need, and our business ethics are what some would call 'old fashioned' in this day of high tech marketing and customer data mining. (No multi-level marketing or social networking privacy intrusions here...) We do a little advertising to draw in "new blood" but rely primarily on word of mouth from our satisfied customers to grow our sales. (It is working great so far!)
In the customer part of our win-win strategy, if you are reading this during the month of May, you can get $2 off of the price of emergency kits by typing in the coupon code MAYDAY
Our future plans are to apply this same hands-on business model to other products that meet basic needs or help people to live in a sustainable manner on the earth that God has entrusted to our care.
For every 4x4 filter that is sold on this site a dollar is donated to local Christian based disaster relief. For more information see: http://www.dbadisasterrelief.com/
Last year (2011) this resulted in helping to field chainsaw and feeding crews that worked the wildfires that raged all over Texas. In particular we helped to fund recovery efforts in the Bastrop area for several weeks during the Fall.
So far this year we have helped field chainsaw crews that worked on tornado clean up efforts in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
