Shared value system

 

The website business operates as a social business enterprise. It brings together customers, businesses and public sector organisations or groups to create additional value and more benefits. It uses a shared value system so more value can be created, added or linked to services. This means more value-based benefits for customers, businesses and stakeholders.

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 potentially 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. Find out more here

Types of benefits

There are many additional benefits available with each transaction or service such as;

  • savings from 10% to over 50% for some services;
  • additional services or extra items included; or
  • benefits such as a donation or gift made to a community group or organisation.

 

Adding more value and giving back to communities

All customers, businesses and stakeholders can gain or provide more value to each other. Adding and sharing value adds benefits for customers, private businesses, community businesses and stakeholders. 

Community benefits – ways to give back to your community

There are many ways to give back value to communities. For example, forward a percentage of a transaction such as 1% to your favourite charity or a community group as part of a transaction process. Then, it’s a ‘win-win’ for everyone.

Businesses services with added value

On the website businesses can list their services to provide more benefits to their customers and their communities. Easily link additional value to your business services and gain the value and benefits for your business by reaching more customers. In this way create more interest in your business so you get more work.

Businesses - gain more value

Many types of services can be listed and each service will have more added value. This means more value-added services are available.

  • reaching more customers through new networks;
  • motivating customers with special incentives to choose your services;
  • using many of the free value-based services available;
