SHOP Local: Bring Business Home
SHOP.COM has long been the marketplace that gives you the best of both worlds. You can earn Cashback by shopping from your own website while buying the products you already love from brand-name partner stores and discovering new favorites from Market America’s exclusive brands. The addition of the Shopping Annuity® has taken the benefits of SHOP.COM and the UnFranchise® Business to new heights and has made converting your spending into earning even easier.
The question has always been, however, how to make every single penny you spend one that helps you earn. After all, there are some products that are just best when bought locally. SHOP Local, the newest groundbreaking program from Market America | SHOP.COM, is the solution. Well this March, you won’t have to choose between supporting your own business and supporting local merchants — you’ll be able to do both at the same time!
The SHOP Local program allows local businesses to become SHOP.COM partners, enabling SHOP.COM customers to earn Cashback with every purchase made at those stores.
How It Works?
Seamless Solution
SHOP.COM requires no additional hardware, staff training, or effort from your business. Simply join the SHOP.COM network and we will begin working to drive NEW customers to you, increase revenue and repeat customers.
Increase Exposure
SHOP.COM influences consumers through enticing offers and loyalty rewards, Cashback! Members use the mobile app and website to discover new and exciting places to eat and drink.
Instantly Rewarding
Members simply link their VISA/MC/AMEX cards to the SHOP.COM network and use them at participating businesses to instantly earn and be notified of earning Cashback. The result? More NEW SHOP.COM local consumers and increased spending from your favorite customers.
“The SHOP Local program really is an excellent complement to the Shopping Annuity,” explains Eddie Alberty, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. “People still go into stores, they still buy gas and groceries. We have most of those things online, but people still like to shop in their local area.”
While buying from your own business and funding your Shopping Annuity is the secret to new levels of success with the UnFranchise Business, there’s still something special about the relationships you can develop when you shop locally. Whether it’s your weekly chat with the butcher at the grocery store, or the fact that the waiter at your favorite restaurant knows your order before you even sit down, personal connections with people who live near you matter. These one-on-one connections are how the UnFranchise Business is built, and SHOP Local will be the bridge that lets you bring the local businesses you love into the Market America family.
The SHOP Local program will allow local businesses to become SHOP.COM partners, enabling UnFranchise Owners and Preferred Customers to earn Cashback and/or IBV with every purchase made at those stores. All it will take is a visit to SHOP.COM to link your credit card to the program, and then the next time you use that credit card at a registered local merchant you’ll also be getting Cashback and building your Shopping Annuity.
Market America has established a partnership to bring 10,000 merchants into the pro-
gram in 2016, including national merchants like Whole Foods and Bed, Bath and Beyond. The most powerful part of this new program, though, is the opportunity that SHOP Local provides for UnFranchise Owners to partner with business owners in their own neighborhoods. Do you have a favorite pizza place down the street? Invite them to partner with SHOP.COM. Does the local bakery where you like to meet people for coffee need a business boost? Invite them to become a partner, too, and spread the word around town about how great the food is. Special incentives for those who sign up new merchants will be revealed soon, so start thinking now about your favorite local businesses and all the ways you can make every penny count.
