Making a difference with each transaction!
Website
The Discover Special Value website business operates as a social business enterprise. It brings together customers, businesses and public sector organisations or groups to gain benefits and to make a difference and give back. The website has systems that;
- connect private sector and public/community sector businesses with their customers;
- connect these businesses and their customers with stakeholder organisations and groups that provide social, community, cultural, environmental, charitable and business support services;
- can add value to business services and products businesses have listed;
- can provide more support for stakeholders for their important services so they have more resources to make a difference and give back; and
- are supported by customers, businesses and stakeholder organisations.
Value-adding to business services
The website features can add more value or highlight existing value of business services so more benefits are available to be delivered to customers. A win-win for those involved! It is free to register business services (either private sector or community-sector businesses), get assistance and for setting up website business profiles.
Adding value: fresh local food
Businesses - free business website registration
After registering their services businesses can add more value to their services and products and then deliver added benefits to their customers and/or to community and other stakeholders. Therefore, by using the website's special value features businesses can deliver more benefits with each transaction.
For example, businesses can add an extra service or item, more quality to services, savings, customise their services, add free services, include a donation to a charity, or add other benefits for either customers or stakeholders.
In this way your business can make a difference and gain business value from passing on more benefits to social, community, charity, cultural, environmental and business support groups, their causes or programs so they have more resources for their services.
Customers - obtain more benefits with each transaction!
Customers can gain more benefits from the value-added services with purchases. Transactions will have more benefits added or highlighted. You can also support your community at the same time if you choose by passing on other benefits such as donations to organisations, charities and other stakeholders with purchases. Find out more here

Giving back: supporting stakeholders
Website project
The project is for developing more long-term financial and other resources for these to be available for community and business stakeholders. Stakeholders can use them for persons and communities in need and for their other services. The project is an opportunity to contribute to further development of the website for;
- further benefits to be delivered for customers and community organisations and groups with transactions;
- delivering more resources for important social, community, cultural, environmental, charitable and business support services in your community and business environments;
- developing more ways to add value to business services and products for businesses to add more business value;
- developing a micropayments system to provide financial benefits on a regular basis for stakeholders; and
- promoting the important contributions of volunteers, businesses and stakeholders for giving back to communities.
Further development will provide more more stakeholder resources
