Discounts, in short, imply maximizing or saving our dollars. This means we can plan on, or, at least imagine doing more – a very powerful “hook.” Yet, with that being said, we know a lot of deals or deal sites leave these buyers less than satisfied. In essence, these buyers were not really sure what initially compelled them to buy when faced with actually needing to “go.” From travel to not really sure how they feel about, let’s say, scuba diving or going to an unfamiliar area, or, trying to find the time to go, they can end-up regretting their purchase. So, if we think about it, deals are not everything that we want. We want the deal, but also, the experience and convenience – and not having to go, if we changed our minds. The deal, experience and convenience, in other words, should all be equally as compelling. The same “everything” as one would expect or anticipate when willing to pay or paying full-price. This was the challenge that we sought to solve. With that in mind, to assure an ideal “everything,” we knew our offering - our concept - needed to satisfy all parties’ (consumer and merchant) needs to in essence create “fertile ground” for an ideal experience. We did this by leveraging discounting as a “tool,” rather than, the plan or “the solution.” We call this approach the Integrative Approach. Our newly invented category is called Integrative Discount Site. Our formula’s intent is for the consumer to not go far out of their way, preferably in their own town or nearby, know what to expect, and, naturally, solve real and regularly desired needs. More so, these are pay-per-visit deals - at the time of visit with the merchant. Equally so, with the merchants, we assure them that they are empowered to maintain profitability with every consumer visit. How? We collect no sales-commission and merchants set their own discounts. More so, merchants combine their own deals with those merchants that best suit their consumers’ needs and desires. In effect, they have curated deal combinations for their consumers. When curating, they take into account the combined deals’ contents as well as the distance from them and their merchant connections. This, also, suggests that local consumers are going to be more interested in these deals, given that the deals tend to be close together. In other words, going out of one’s way one time is much easier to do than twice, hence, non-locals would tend to lean towards “one-time deals” versus combined deals – found here.

We’re about offering a better way for merchants and consumers to come together, specifically those merchants in the dining, fitness, and hair and beauty categories with their local consumers. As part of our “formula,” we are leveraging the discount concept. While, as we know, using discounts online is being done right now and for good reason.

Discounts, in short, imply maximizing or saving our dollars. This means we can plan on, or, at least imagine doing more – a very powerful “hook.” Yet, with that being said, we know a lot of deals or deal sites leave these buyers less than satisfied. In essence, these buyers were not really sure what initially compelled them to buy when faced with actually needing to “go.” From travel to not really sure how they feel about, let’s say, scuba diving or going to an unfamiliar area, or, trying to find the time to go, they can end-up regretting their purchase.

We thought to tell a fictional story of Consumer Joe and Consumer Jill to portray how exactly to imagine us within the context of other discount sites. Indulge us…it’s a short story.

Joe and Jill, like most online, everyday consumers, know how to find great deals. Bouncing from one site and / or email to the next, wanting to be “stopped in their tracks” by one huge savings: a juicy burger, skydiving lessons, or even a cooking class - as long whatever it is, it says 50-60% off.

We spur Joe and Jill on in their attempt to expand their “discretionary money-bucket.” But, what about these merchants – how are they filling their “money buckets,” if they are giving out big savings plus big commissions to these “middle-men” discount-sites?

Is there a better way? Perhaps, a site that not only ensures merchants do well, but Joe and Jill save equally as much - relative to what they would elsewhere. Here (with our participating lifestyle merchants), Joe and Jill will find only basic lifestyle services sold by local and nearby brick-and-mortar merchants. Meaning, their purchases, inevitably, go to supporting merchants that they may already know or, perhaps, are familiar with.

In terms of real (regularly sought-after) needs, we thought to focus on the lifestyle category that being (as we define it) hair and beauty, fitness and dining. Not to exclude other merchants, but thought these merchants are universally regarded as staples in every town, regularly frequented (or sought-after) by all of us. Naturally, once in the area, you are exposed to other businesses (not within our categories) that can solve your needs, as well.

Given that we are aligned with consumers’ and merchants’ goals, it means that both parties can wholly focus on connecting happily. A new norm takes root for the better, not to mention, your community thrives and prospers alongside you with your every visit.

We encourage you to find some of the deals in your area to see which local merchants are participating. If you have any questions, you are welcome to email us, or, simply reach-out to one of our participating merchant members in your area.
