Consumer ChallengeIt is difficult to find and hire the right service professional. The existing landscape lacks a solution that simultaneously offers user-driven pricing and peer reviews, results in time savings, maintains the user’s privacy and requires service provider certification.

Service Professional ChallengeTraditional customer acquisition techniques such as purchasing leads and digital advertising space possess capital risk, often requiring a significant initial out of pocket investment. A 2011 Opus Research-MerchantCircle of 8,456 businesses found that paying a percentage of the sale is the most popular means of acquisition, as paying for customers rather than opportunities is a sustainable growth model for small businesses.

Revenue Projections

Mass Distribution & Customer AcquisitionSpendLO's distribution strategy is based on a recent success story. Advisory Board member Alex Enchin cultivated a successful partnership between Canadian daily-deal leader Wag Jag and the Toronto Star. The result, Wag Jag grew to 1.5M users within 18 months leading to the purchase of the company by parent company Torstar Corporation. SpendLO has agreed to a similar revenue sharing agreement with WPTV, a Scripps-owned NBC affiliate and Florida’s #1 television station. The relationship is predicated on full scale multi-media distribution through several local television and web properties, followed by replication and expansion into an additional 5 Scripps television markets nationwide.

An additional distribution arm will include Palm Beach County’s largest Real Estate company, Lang Realty. Lang’s 425+ agents will serve as an extension of the spendLO sales force, utilizing spendLO for property improvements and to introduce new residents to cost savings and business building opportunities. Lang also brings an extensive network of prequalified service professionals to the partnership.
