BUNDLING FOR BUSINESSES

WHAT DO WE DO ?
InBundles instantly connects large groups of food fanatics with our favorite places to eat and drink. Each day, we present our subscribers with a write-up of one amazing business we want them to try. We dedicate our website's homepage to this business and send out thousands of newsletters to educate our subscribers. Once they've learned about the business, we encourage our subscribers to go try it with their friends!

HOW DO WE DO IT?
We get our subscribers to wine and dine at our favorite businesses by offering them a chance to buy an exclusive discounted gift certificate. Our businesses provide this discount to our subscribers in exchange for huge exposure and an instant increase in valuable clientele.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Each day, InBundles provides Foodies an editorial about one of our favorite places to eat. Then we offer up an exclusive discounted gift certificate to buy.
2. If our subscribers like the deal, they buy it and share the news with friends through social networking tools like Twitter and Facebook.
3. Subscribers redeem their gift certificate with their friends at the business.
4. InBundles sends the business a check from the sales within 7 days!

That's it. Too easy!

What kind of membership base does InBundles have?
Our members aren't the fly-by-night crowd. They're young, hip and open-minded adults who have shown specific interest in food, beverage and saving money. But that doesn't mean that they don't have money to spend! Our members run the gamut from "starving students" to "mindful moguls" and they're all online socializing and shopping.

How much do I have to pay to be featured on InBundles?
Nothing! There are absolutely zero out of pockets expenses for a business to be featured on InBundles. In fact, you won't ever see bills from us - only checks.

How does InBundles make money?
We only make money if you do. InBundles takes a portion of the sales revenue if we sell a minimum number gift certificates. If the minimum isn't met, the deal is cancelled. InBundles doesn't get anything for its time and effort promoting your business and your business gets all the exposure for free. You can't get that kind of deal with other marketing strategies.

How do I get paid?
InBundles does all the work for you. We sell the Bundles online. We collect the money. We distribute the Bundles to our members. All you have to do is get ready for the influx of customers and keep an eye out for a check in the mail!

How do I get my business featured?
Email us at business@inbundles.com with your name, business name, phone number, website and any information you want us to know about your business. One of our staff members will contact you ASAP to get the ball rolling.

Who puts together all the details of the deal?
We assign one of our team members to guide you through the promotion. He will ask for specific information you would like to include, like editorial, photos, logos, promotions, etc. If you don't have photos or a logo, we'll put something together for you. Once we have the specifics, it's smooth sailing. Our highly talented team of writers creates a positive and enticing editorial to pair with crisp, descriptive pictures. Your dedicated InBundles associate will be available to answer questions every step of the way.

When will my business be featured?
We do our best to make our service flexible to your needs. We maximize your experience by working around slow times, holidays and special events you're promoting. Participating businesses typically have their deal running within a few weeks, but the exact time depends on when we think you'll perform best. We only win if you do, so we're going to place you in the best spot we can.

When do customers have to use their Bundle?
Your new customers will receive the Bundle within 24 hours of the sale's end. Customers can use the Bundle anytime before an expiration date determined by you. Typical expirations fall 6-12 months from the purchase date.

Can the Bundles be given away as gifts? Are they transferable?
Absolutely! The name of the purchaser is printed on the Bundle but they can be given away as gifts. Our users not only love to buy Bundles for themselves but also for friends and family. That means more business for you!

How do I track the Bundles that have been purchased and used?
InBundles will give businesses access to the merchant section of our website where you can view and print a spreadsheet of the purchased Bundles. Businesses can track which Bundles have been used by marking it directly on the site or printing out the spreadsheet and updating it online at a later time.

HOW DO OUR BUSINESSES BENEFIT?

• Risk Free Marketing. No Out of Pocket Expenses.
  InBundles is like no other advertising or marketing plan for business promotion and gift certificate sales. There are no costs, no upfront fees and no long-term contracts. In fact, we only make money if you do — we take a commission based on the number of Bundles we sell. You will know exactly how many people have committed to your business by viewing sales statistics live on our homepage. As a bonus, people who didn't buy were still exposed to your brand. When the sale ends, you won't see bills from us, only checks.
• We Guarantee a Minimum Number of Customers to Your Business.
  Since we have to meet a minimum number of sales for our members to get a discount, we guarantee results. Forget "a hope and a prayer" campaigns — with InBundles, you will instantly see and track results.
• Get Immediate Mass Exposure.
  We want to make the experience for our users and merchants as effective as possible, which is one reason why we only feature one business at a time. Businesses get maximum exposure by having the stage all to themselves. You're the star at InBundles and we'll treat you that way.
• Expand Your Brand Presence Without Diluting Your Image.
  Your brand presence is such an important key to success. Why muck around with just any Tom, Dick or Harry? InBundles focuses on local businesses in the food and beverage industry. Instead of placing you among deals for laser hair removal, facials, carpet cleaning and gym memberships, InBundles protects your brand by keeping it among the best in your industry. We hand pick all of our participating merchants and feature only those businesses we hold in high esteem.
• Only Invest in Committed Customers.
  Unlike traditional methods of marketing, you will only be committed to the InBundles members who have already prepaid for goods and services! When InBundles merchants give our members a good deal, members respond by spending more money and becoming loyal customers. When members can buy more than one Bundle at a time, you have future visits purchased in advance!
• Connect With High Quality, Repeat Customers.
  We at InBundles know how important it is to reach the repeat customer — the kind who spreads the word and comes back himself. That's why we've built a huge membership base of people with a specific interest in food and beverage related businesses. They're not the fly by night crowd. They're the people who spend the majority of their money on eating and drinking the best their city offers. Whether you consider them "foodies", "gourmands" or even "starving students", they're the customers loyal enough to come back and pay full price.
• Bring Back Your Regular Customers.
  Our Bundles help bring back your regulars sooner than either of you expected! Getting a discount in the hands of your most long-term customers is a great way to encourage a visit, reward their loyalty and give them an good reason to try new goods or services.
• Spread the Word Virally on Social Networks.
  Our staff and members like to spread the news about the latest Bundles through word of mouth, but we like using the power of our social networks even more. We Tweet, Facebook, blog, email and get the word out by any means possible. And with all the buzz about your brand on the web, you'll continue to get exposure for months to come.
• Increase Your Sales In House.
  By getting customers through your door, InBundles creates a powerful opportunity for your business to create sales. When our members come in with a Bundle, they're likely to spend more, especially when they arrive with a few friends. After all, InBundles is all about being social in groups! It's also an opportunity for your staff to present the best goods and services you have to offer, to create an atmosphere so enjoyable our members will return again and again.
• We Make It Easy for You!
  Getting new customers through your door has never been easier. Once we discuss the deal's fine points, the InBundles staff will handle everything from writing a business description with pictures, putting together your deal, corresponding with customers and collecting the sales. After the sale is over, we'll send you a check in the mail. All you have to do is prepare for an influx of customers.
