Marketing System and Method Benefiting Both Buyers and Businesses Alike

摘要

System and method for providing value to both buyers and businesses. Businesses provide value to buyers by providing a searchable database containing member businesses and their products and services. Businesses also provide discounts and specials to buyers as an added incentive. Businesses are provided a means to display their goods and services to a targeted group of motivated buyers searching within the system of the present invention, wherein discounts and specials influence a buyer to transact with a member business rather than a non-member business. The searchable database of the present invention may provide results for buyer search requests pertaining to local zip codes of member businesses, product or service categories, product or service descriptions, and the like. Member businesses may be required to maintain a minimum level of incentives available to member buyers, such as offering at least one buy one get one free offer to member buyers.
