Benefits of Merchant Participation
The Finding.com system is designed to maximize local business profits...
through minimal-cost advertising and rebate incentives:
  1. A basement-cost web presence whereby "WE EARN ONLY WHEN YOU EARN"
    • No risk: FREE for the first 3 months (not including the $20 finder's fee which you may bypass by direct sign-up)
    • After 3 months only $5 per month hosting fee
    • The standard "cost" is a 5% rebate which is directed to the charities and/or schools of the customers choice
    • Plans are available for service-oriented businesses (such as physicians or attorneys)
    • For large purchased items, the merchant has the option to cap the dollar amount of the rebate
    • An interactive web page at an easily recalled address. Examples: finding.com/Your Business Name, finding.com/EducationalInternet
    • An email account, which may be used for online orders and/or customer-merchant communications. The address will be: YourBusinessName@Finding.com
    • Pre-paid envelopes with bar-coding to eliminate your accounting and easy return
    • Multiple categories to describe your business so that customers can quickly find your products/services. Example: fast-food /restaurants /food and beverage
    • Directory listing of your business specifically for your shopping district. Example: Charleston, SC shopping district
    • Each business can update at anytime and re-define any specials

  5. Finding your business is simple at Finding.com:
    You will have a great, practical name based on your actual business's name
    • Each business web site will have a "plain-sense" name based upon the actual business name.
        An example for Bob's Hotdogs would be the web site finding.com/Bob'sHotdogs
    • Each business would have a similar "plain-sense" email address (if they do not have an existing email address).
        An example for Bob's Hotdogs would be the email address Bob'sHotdogs@finding.com

  6. Each school is motivated to enroll you, the merchant.
    • That school will then receive a higher percentage of your rebate.
    • You will be requested to pay a $20 finder's fee for initial registration.
    • If you wish to circumvent the finder's fee, click below to join now. You may then select the recipient school or charity of your choice (acting as your own "Finder").

  7. Business-site Internet access is NOT mandatory.
    • You may update and manage your web site from any computer with Internet access (home, etc).
