Today's post is a sneak-peek into one of the changes to our
blog. In addition to posting more from our internal experts, we'll
be posting about our current projects to give you an idea of what
we can do and share more about the excellent companies we
serve.
Currently we are working on the development of SaveGiveGo.com. The backend system includes
portal for three types of users: businesses, consumers, and causes.
From SaveGiveGo's Facebook page:
SaveGiveGo is
an exciting new way to save money and make a difference in your
community. Consumers save money, businesses promote their offers
risk-free, and non-profits and fundraising organizations receive
more money for worthy causes.
So what exactly are we creating you may ask. SaveGiveGo.com is a couponing site that allows
businesses to post offers with a pledge amount that consumers
redeem and then give the pledge amount to a cause of their choice.
It is free for non-profits and approved school groups to be listed
on SaveGiveGo and free for consumers to view and print offers.
SaveGiveGo is risk-free advertising for businesses because the
business only pays for offers that are actually redeemed. Most
advertising agreements require a minimum investment whether or not
it results in a sale.
Development of this multi user group is a very exciting project
for Onsharp since it really utilizes our complete skill set of
languages and logic. The highlight of the system is the ability for
"self-service" by each user group. Businesses are able to create
their profile page, upload photos, and design their own offers.
Causes can also build their own profile page, post photos, and list
their most recent donations. The consumer portal is perfectly
simple-create your log in, print offer, save money, and give money.
The complete launch of SaveGiveGo.com is planned for January 2012.
Currently the system is being tested and perfected for an initial
Fargo-Moorhead launch and eventual national presence.
