About Public Goods

History

Public Goods is a U.S. direct-to-consumer brand launched in 2017 by co-founders Morgan Hirsh and Josh Berman. Originally introduced as Morgans, it developed around a membership-based approach to everyday essentials, combining minimalist branding with an emphasis on ingredient transparency and accessible pricing. Its assortment expanded from personal care into household goods, pantry staples, and other daily necessities. Current membership requirements and shopping terms should be checked before publishing promotional content.

Product Types

Public Goods sells branded everyday essentials, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, skincare, household cleaners, laundry and dishwashing products, paper goods, pantry foods, and kitchen and home accessories. Product availability, sizes, refill options, and assortment can change.

Target Audience

The brand appeals to design-conscious, value-minded shoppers who prefer simple packaging and want to make more considered choices about ingredients, materials, and everyday consumption. Relevant audiences include people interested in minimalist living, personal wellness, household organization, and reducing packaging waste where suitable refill options are available.

Unique Selling Points

Public Goods combines a coordinated, minimalist aesthetic with a broad range of daily essentials under one brand, making it well suited to bathroom refreshes, pantry organization, and household replenishment content. Ingredient information and selected refill formats provide useful product-level talking points; environmental, organic, vegan, and cruelty-free claims should be verified individually rather than applied to the entire range. For affiliate access, join Sovrn Commerce to explore Public Goods alongside thousands of other retailers. Sovrn makes getting started straightforward, but Public Goods' current participation, publisher eligibility, and merchant-specific terms must be confirmed in the Sovrn merchant directory; immediate approval or access to this particular retailer cannot be guaranteed.

Marketing Tips

Content Ideas

  • Create practical guides to simplifying everyday routines with Public Goods personal care, cleaning, and household products. Highlight specific product features rather than making broad sustainability claims.
  • Publish hands-on reviews of products such as shampoo, hand soap, and dish soap, evaluating performance, scent, packaging, and price using current product information.
  • Develop minimalist bathroom and kitchen shopping guides that showcase Public Goods' understated packaging and coordinated aesthetic.
  • Build replenishment checklists for household essentials, linking readers to relevant products through Sovrn Commerce.
  • Create seasonal content around spring cleaning, college move-ins, first apartments, and holiday hosting, checking product availability before publication.

Promotional Strategies

  • Join Sovrn Commerce to explore access to Public Goods and thousands of other retailers in one account. Confirm Public Goods' current availability and your account's eligibility before planning monetized campaigns.
  • Use Sovrn Commerce affiliate links in relevant reviews, product comparisons, and shopping guides where Public Goods products naturally address readers' needs.
  • Promote only verified, currently available discounts. Check offer dates, exclusions, and eligibility before sharing a Public Goods promotion; do not imply an offer is affiliate-exclusive without confirmation.
  • Test product-focused articles against broader household shopping guides, using Sovrn reporting to compare available click, conversion, and revenue data.
  • Connect seasonal articles with evergreen reviews through internal links, helping readers move from general advice to detailed product evaluations.

Best Practices

  • Check Public Goods' merchant information and applicable terms in Sovrn Commerce for current commission rates, attribution windows, eligible purchases, and promotional restrictions. Do not assume a particular rate or cookie duration.
  • Place clear affiliate disclosures near recommendations and links, including in social content where applicable.
  • Verify current prices, package sizes, ingredients, shipping conditions, and any membership or subscription requirements before publishing.
  • Substantiate environmental and health-related statements at the individual product level. Avoid describing the entire assortment as organic, non-toxic, plastic-free, or universally sustainable without supporting evidence.
  • Confirm permission under applicable Sovrn Commerce and merchant terms before using paid search, trademark bidding, email promotions, coupon distribution, or social media advertising.
  • Use only authorized images and promotional assets, distinguish firsthand testing from product research, and regularly refresh articles to remove expired offers and unavailable products.

Target Audience

Ideal Customer

Public Goods appeals to shoppers who want practical everyday essentials with simple design and a cohesive look for their homes. Particularly relevant audiences include design-conscious adults, households consolidating routine purchases, and consumers interested in refill formats or more considered purchasing habits. Product-specific ingredient preferences, price comparisons, and packaging considerations can influence buying decisions; avoid assuming every item meets the same environmental or personal-care standards.
