Our story.
Our appeal is universal and applies to nearly any business.
Meet Phil, today he told a friend visiting from out of town about his favorite restaurant, suggested a high end flower shop for his boss’ anniversary, and took his girlfriend to his climbing gym for the first time. He’s always referring people to that restaurant but they’re not aware of it; his boss forgets what flower shop he mentioned so winds up shopping somewhere else; and there’s another great climbing gym in town that would be happy to give his girlfriend (and him) a deal, but Phil’s not aware. Enter LocalMaven – a simple platform that makes giving and receiving referrals easy and paying commissions seamless.

How Does the Referral Work?

The process is simple and automated and is easy for the Vendor, Maven, and Customer.

1
Vendors create special deals and invite Mavens to participate

2
Maven promoters distribute these deals to potential customers in the form of an 8 digit alphanumeric code emailed, texted or written down for the customer.

3
The customer redeems this code at the vendor and receives the deal.

4
The Maven’s account is credited for the referral and commissions sweep weekly via Dwolla or PayPal from the Vendor’s account to the Maven’s account

Vendors create unique deals
The “advanced deal” page (versus the “simple deal” page) supports a number of variables, including: Deal name, deal photo, deal terms, commission to be paid to the Maven, quantity of vouchers to be issued, expiration date, commission delivery option (allowing commissions to flow to a third party), and referral code generation method.

Vendors can selectively invite their Mavens to participate in a campaign

Mavens can generate and transmit unique referral codes:
Mavens are able to easily generate referral codes for potential customers and transmit these via email, SMS/Text, or verbally. These are linked to the Maven, Customer, and Vendor and are fully trackable.

16

Mobile is supported
iPhone and Android apps are in development

17

Everything is Trackable

1
Vendors can view, audit, and approve commissions and see detailed analytics about the performance of their campaigns.
