BUSINESS OWNERS…. DON’T PAY TO ADVERTISE!

Everyday people consume, they purchase. Yet, they have a love/hate relationship with advertisements. They are a necessity in life. They provide the information that helps consumers make those daily purchasing decisions about you or your competitor. So if they are helping them, than why do they have such a dislike for them? Businesses of all kinds bombard consumers everywhere and everyday with ads they don't want and messages that don't apply to them. They interrupt consumer’s TV shows, and their music on the radio. Newspapers have turned into “ad”papers. The consumer wants control, look no further than advertising free satellite radio and TiVo. As a result, viewers, listeners and subscribers are disappearing and headed straight to the internet for their media, entertainment, leisure & shopping.

Businesses large and small understand the awesome power that the internet delivers. Millions of businesses are shifting substantial portions of their marketing budgets to the internet. Maybe you need to look no further to confirm that than your own life or the lives of your family, friends and co workers. Even politicians running for the highest office in the country are turning to the internet to announce their candidacies. Traditional media is quickly evolving into a way to only drive people online.

Why not an opportunity where you choose to customize your business message to the highly motivated consumer that has asked for your message based on feedback they give you? Pay for action. Pay to engage in a dialogue, substantially increasing your likelihood of generating sales. Don’t pay to advertise.

TOP 10 youchoose QUESTIONS from Advertisers

1. Who are the consumers?  youchoose communities, LLC consists of several different youchoose communities each with its own set of businesses that desire to reach that group of highly motivated consumers. Communities can be set up as open programs allowing anyone in a geographic area to be a member (example – a town or city). Other programs are set up as private programs in which only the members or constituents of that organization are youchoose members (example – a program for the YMCA or a group of centrally located schools)

2. How do I “dialogue” with the consumer? When the consumer selects your business as one in which they’d like to receive messages from, they must then submit a three questions survey that is forwarded to you or your designated contact. You choose to then begin by sending them a generic message or a customized message created from their initial survey responses. After reviewing your initial & subsequent marketing messages they will answer a four question survey each time (three multiple choice & one free form). When the consumer engages with you they are rewarded with credits that are later redeemed for are gift cards. You continue to learn more and develop a deeper relationship with your prospect guaranteeing a much higher likelihood of doing business together.

3. How much does it cost? As a youchoose advertiser you don’t pay to communicate your message, you only pay when the consumer views or listens to your ad and then submits a survey with questions you want answered. When this happens you are invoiced monthly $1 for each survey submitted. You also agree to provide youchoose a cash rebate monthly of 5% of any purchase up to $500 by a youchoose member. The maximum cash rebate you will pay per purchase is $25 (5% of $500). You should view this as a discount that should significantly increase business (the incentive for the consumer is that they receive 40% of the rebate and the non profit group they support will receive 20% of it. Each youchoose advertiser is required to make a fully refundable $600 deposit within (10) days of signing up and before becoming active in the community.

4. Can I set my limit on expenditures? Your consumer engagement group is limited to 600, so the maximum amount you might spend per month on consumer engagement is $600. You must send at least one message per month to each consumer in your group. If you have 500 people in your group and only 350 view your ad and submit a survey you pay only $350. You cannot set a limit on your cash rebates. Look at it this way, the more you pay in cash rebates, the more you are doing in sales!

5. Do I have to sign a contract? Yes. We ask that you commit to your youchoose community for a minimum period of 6 months. After that, your commitment is month to month.

6. What type of ad can I send? You can send a print ad, an audio message or a video message. If you want to use your existing newspaper, radio or TV ads you are free to do so.

1. Do I create my own ads and surveys or does someone do that for me? you choose! You can do them in house and email them to us, you can do them online with us, your agency can do them or you can utilize the services of youchoose’s own agency  for a fee of $150 per month.

2. Can I remove someone from my customer group that is not purchasing from me?  You can request that youchoose remove a customer from your group after a three month period.

3. Are there any limitations on the ads I send? All audio and video messages must not be longer than 60 seconds. Longer ads are available for a higher survey fee. No ads can ask for personnel contact information from the youchoose member such as name, address, phone number or email address. All marketing messages are sent through youchoose to the customer and are reviewed prior to launch for inappropriate content.

What if I want to send an ad before or after normal working hours? Youchoose offers incredible flexibility. If you’d like to create your own ad and survey online at youchoose communities at 11pm for a morning launch to your consumer group you can do that.
