Congratulations. You have been provided with an invitation to join our community. Being invited is the only way to enter our online neighborhood. One of our members wants to share your business with other members. Indeed, it is a high honor.

There are a few things you will need to know before joining. This program is free, other than the discount or service you would be providing. There are no fees or hidden costs. Having one of our members as a loyal customer is payment enough for us.

Our Save & Gave Community Program involves raising money for a variety of local community interests. Although we focus on helping families raise money to cover medical expenses, our program really involves all types of fund raising efforts. We can expect participation from individuals in need, schools, churches, associations, public companies and non-profit groups.

How it works is our members have selected an individual or group to support. We call this our MOM (Member Of Mention). In buying our Get Noticed - Social Software they are providing 50% of the proceeds to go to support their chosen MOM. They also receive ten (10) merchant invitations. These invitations are to be used to invite their Top 10 businesses they wish to support or recommend.

As an invited merchant, you will be linked to a specific MOM, or to a member of a specific MOM. If a MOM provided you with an invitation, you will be listed as one of "MOM's Favorites". If a member provided you the invitation, you will be listed as one of "MOM's Circle of Friends".

This will be important as we develop "MOM's Heroes". These will be businesses that receive the highest ratings from our members. Cash prizes will be awarded to those merchants or businesses that provide the greatest service and value to our members. MOM and her members will be invited to the awards ceremony. These valued merchants or businesses will also be displayed prominently on our website.

Additionally, we will be attempting to "predict" those businesses that members will enjoy. By comparing member choices and ratings of selected businesses and merchants, we will determine the similar "tastes" of our members. In doing so, we can then better "recommend" to our members a business. This process is called "collaborative filtering".

We will be using this to better develop communities within our community. In essence, we are providing members with certain "tastes" an opportunity to meet, greet, and share experiences with other members much like themselves. It will be a fun adventure for all involved.

If interested in joining our Save & Gave community, we ask that you visit our merchant registration webpage. You must be able to select a specific MOM in order complete the registration. You will then be allowed access into a coupon creation process. Simply complete the easy steps to create your coupon. Update and change your coupon offering as often as you like.

If you decide not to join, please inform us. Each member or MOM has only ten (10) selections. We will provide your opportunity to another merchant or business.

If you decided to join, welcome. You are officially a part of our Evolution in Caring.
