The 1st true proposed global "Shopping" Social Network Platform
providing members Internet & in-store access to "instant" discounts at checkout
with just 1 universal card / mobile / app for eventually thousands of participating retailers
After many years of development, the
+ CLUB initiative is ready to move toward launch.
​
Everybody loves saving money - but nobody loves keeping track of countless loyalty reward programs between endless numbers of retailers.
+ CLUB solves this, one card for every store.
​
+ CLUB is a unique universal shopping social network platform that processes merchant discounts automatically to members at the point of sale (in store or online) eliminating the need for coupons, codes or rebates.
​​​
A national consumer research survey indicated that consumers desired and felt there was a need for this type of platform,
and
​
+ CLUB is bringing it!
​
​

Using a subscription based revenue model,
+ CLUB is subscribed to by members, free to all merchants and generates profitable, card issuing banks revenue.
​
Members show the + CLUB card/mobile app prior to any payment and the POS links the customers shopping cart to the + CLUB discount processing platform which applies any current published discount offered to the customer INSTANTLY.
​
Members will also have online access to the largest shopping social network in the world.
+ CLUB's enormous online shopping portal is a true online shopping social network where member consumers will shop, communicate with other members, rate retailers, directly dialog with merchants while requesting specific discounts and participate in retailer contests.
Where does the + CLUB membership come from?
​
There will be 100,000,000 3-month "free" members at start-up via credit / debit card issuing banks who will gift to their card holders in good standing a temporary + CLUB membership, then on an annualized basis for $100 ($8.33 per month), with a guarantee of at least $100 in annual savings - any less being reimbursed to the member.
​
​
+ CLUB is an instant discount access program at the point of sale.
Customers see the savings on their register receipts on the spot!
​
Members' checkout register receipts will indicate:
​
-
The purchased items.
-
The + CLUB discount savings.

Retailer Value Proposition
From big box retailers, all the way down to the little shop on the corner, will all be able to market, advertise, sell, track, target and directly dialog to a "proven-buyer" creme de la creme demographic of 100,000,000 + CLUB members immediately at launch by utilizing the huge + CLUB Internet shopping platform / channel for FREE - unlike the mega platforms such as Google, Facebook, Twitter etc., which are comprised of a demographic conglomerate of internet viewers, users, gamers, personal communicators having very small percentages of ACTUAL interested buyers, charging retailers billions of ad-dollars annually.
ZERO Advertising Fees
Absolutely zero advertising fees for retailers offering + CLUB discounts to an audience of 100 million proven buyers.
​
How? + CLUB is a consumer subscription based revenue model, unlike advertising revenue models like Facebook and Google that charge retailers billions of dollars to advertise to their audience.
