A little bit about SoBiz10

Hiya, Denver!

In an effort to introduce ourselves to the blogosphere, we figured what better (and simpler) way than answering some questions you may have about us.

What is SoBiz10?
SoBiz10 is the next generation of group couponing in Denver: a Denver merchant directory, social network and group coupons, ALL IN ONE CLICK.

Favorite Color?
RED! Duh! With a white 10 on it!

Where is SoBiz10 from?
Denver! We are a local Denver company and our home office is located in the Tech Center.

Favorite single of ALL TIME?
"Hoogie Boogie Land" by Complete (If you ain't familiar, get familiar! ...youtube it).  My Uncle Billy filmed that footage at the 1982 Callaway County Fair in Missouri. That may or may not be true.

What is a group coupon?
Group coupons are the new pay-for-performance marketing technique.  Basically, rather than paying up-front for print, radio or TV advertising in the hopes that it brings customers into your store, SoBiz10 will advertise a deeply discounted coupon for a merchant on www.SoBiz10.com.  The details of the coupon will also be emailed to our SoBiz10 subscribers.  Denver bargain hunters and SoBiz10 subscribers will have 24 hours to purchase the coupon on SoBiz10.com.  Once the day is over, the coupon is then unavailable to purchase.  SoBiz10 will split the revenues from the coupons sold with the merchant (significantly in favor of the merchant), and then the merchant can expect the coupon buyers to come into their store and use the coupon to purchase their great product or service and experience their great customer service.  This is an excellent way for merchants to take new business and turn it into repeat business!

Does anyone in your outfit own the Limited Edition DVD of The Notebook?
Oh, no. What have you heard?  I can neither confirm nor deny that the founder of SoBiz10 is the owner of said DVD.  No guff.

What differentiates SoBiz10 from all the other group coupon companies?
For Denver consumers:
You can find local merchants based on your zip code, you can follow your favorite merchants and see what sort of specials or deals they may be running on any given day, you can rate and review merchants based upon your experience with them, and finally, you can interface directly with Denver merchants.

For Denver merchants:
This means that you can acutely follow your customers' experience at your business, advertise and market to them as FREEquently as you'd like, and engage your customers in a one-on-one basis.

For everybody in Denver:
One of SoBiz10's core values is the belief in reinvesting in Denver. Each time a transaction is made on SoBiz10, the coupon buyer has the option of selecting a Denver non-profit/charity from a drop down list. Upon selection, SoBiz10 will make a donation to the non-profit/charity.  This comes directly out of SoBiz10's revenues and is not paid for by the coupon buyer nor the merchant.

Alright, friends. That's all we have for now.  Please feel free to post any questions you may have about us that we didn't address here.  

Love,
Your friends at SoBiz10
