Our Green Friday Promise: Why We're Planting, Not Discounting
Mojo taking a quiet moment to appreciate the 'why' behind our Green Friday promise. This is what we're working to protect.
Woof! Hey pack, Mojo here. I'm so excited, I've got my human to do some work for me! She's here to tell you about a new 'pawsitively' amazing promise we're making for the holidays. Take it away!
A Promise, Not Just a Sale
Hi everyone, Helen here, founder of Doggo Mojo.
Every year, as we get closer to the holidays, I feel a growing sense of... well, chaos. The inbox-stuffing sales, the pressure of "door-busting" deals, and the rush of Black Friday—it's a lot. And for a brand that's built on the personal connection and joy we share with our dogs, it just never felt... right.
This year, we decided to stop and think about what our values really are. We believe that giving a gift should feel good, not just for the person receiving it, but for all of us. We believe in quality over quantity, and in making a positive impact, no matter how small.
So, we're making a change. We're ditching the chaos of Black Friday and starting a new tradition, one we're calling 'Green Friday.' And I am so excited to tell you what it's all about.
Our Solution: Swapping Discounts for Impact
Green Friday is our answer to the noise. It's a commitment to making a tangible, positive impact on the planet, instead of just chasing a quick sale.
We're a small business, and that's our superpower. It means we can choose to build our brand around values we truly believe in. For us, that means finding a way to give back that's built into the heart of our company.
That's when we found our amazing partner: theGoodAPI.
Why We Partnered with theGoodAPI
For me, this mission is personal. I’ve worked with and for non-profits for almost my entire life, and I know that when you support a cause—whether it's by volunteering or donating—it's a 'win-win.' It just feels good to do good.
I knew from the start that I wanted giving back to be a core part of Doggo Mojo. But I also wanted to do something different. Supporting a local animal rescue is a wonderful cause, but it's also what everyone expects. I wanted to find a way to tie giving back to a deeper, personal passion.
When I was house hunting for my home in the country, my realtor asked me what my number one priority was. A big kitchen? A garage? I said, 'Trees.'
That's when it clicked. My passion is trees. And I wanted to find a partner that let us—the Doggo Mojo pack—give back to the planet in a real, verifiable way. When I found theGoodAPI, I knew I'd found the perfect fit. They connect us directly with Veritree, a world-class organization that manages and verifies every single tree we plant.
It's a way for us all to tie our love for our dogs to our love for the outdoors.
What Does Planting a Tree Actually Do?
It's easy to say 'we plant trees,' but what does that really mean? It's so much more than just putting a seed in the ground.
Partnering with a verified reforestation project means we are, together, helping to:
- Restore ecosystems: We're helping to rebuild habitats for wildlife that have been lost to deforestation.
- Combat climate change: Trees are nature's best carbon-capture technology, pulling CO2 from the atmosphere.
- Support local communities: Many reforestation projects provide fair-wage employment for local villagers, empowering communities.
- Improve our air and water: Forests are essential for clean air and filtering groundwater.
When we looked at this impact, the choice was easy. This felt so much more 'Doggo Mojo' than a '50% Off' banner.

Announcing Our Green Friday Event
We are so proud to announce our annual Doggo Mojo Green Friday event, running all the way through Cyber Monday.
Here's our promise:
We already plant one tree for every single product you purchase, every single day. But for this special holiday event, we are multiplying our impact.
For every single product you purchase from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, we will plant 5 trees!
This isn't a discount. It's a 'doggo-good' multiplier.
It’s your chance to turn your one-of-a-kind, personalized gift into a small forest. One gift for your loved one, five trees for the planet. Buy two gifts, and you'll plant ten trees!
It's the ultimate 'win-win,' and it’s the only holiday deal that felt right for our brand.
Be the First to Know
Our Green Friday event is more than a sale—it's a community mission. To get a reminder when the 5x tree multiplier goes live each year, make sure you are signed up for our newsletter list below. We'll send you a short, friendly 'woof' the moment the forest begins planting.
Mojo's Green Friday MailBag (FAQ)
"Wait... so... are you having any sales for Black Friday?"
Mojo says, "Nope! My human and I had a long chat, and we decided we'd rather do something that makes our tails wag and helps the planet. We think planting a whole forest of trees is a way better deal than just knocking a few bucks off. This is our 'doggo-good' promise, and we're sticking to it!"
"How does the '5 trees per product' thing work?"
Mojo says, "It's super easy! My human set it up so every single product you buy plants a tree. But from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, that one tree magically becomes five trees! So, if you get an awesome item with your pup's face on it, you plant 5 trees. If you add another gift, you plant another 5 trees. That's 10 trees total!"

The Final Woof
The holidays are about connection—to our families, our friends, and our amazing pups. They're about joy, not stress.
Our 'Green Friday' promise is our way of adding a little more 'doggo-good' to the world. It’s our commitment to you, our pack, that we'll always value purpose over profit.
When you choose to give a Doggo Mojo gift this year, you're not just giving a one-of-a-kind personalized item. You're giving two gifts in one. A personalized gift may last your lifetime, but the gift of a tree will last several lifetimes.
You're becoming part of a story of positive change, and we're so incredibly grateful to have you with us.
All the best,
Helen
