Partners

Social networks. Organizations. Members of online communities. The Internet continues to evolve as people join online communities where they share, engage and communicate with their friends, colleagues and peers. This happens within Social Network sites; and it happens in sites where members belong to, or have an interest in, an organization.

As a Web-based community, you are continually challenged for ways to increase attention, traffic, membership and revenue. The Market Lodge™ was developed specifically to address the challenge of growing and serving your social network by enhancing its capabilities with a unique business application.

How It Works

Market Lodge is a platform that works seamlessly within all social environments. Market Lodge empowers your members to rapidly create personalized market places. And, when their friends or colleagues make a purchase they receive 10% of the retail price. They can also use this 10% as a discount for any purchase they make.

Members select from any number of thousands of quality products and services to instantly “build” a Market Lodge that contains only the products and services that they personally like, or might recommend to their social network. Our vendors represent both name brand companies and products, like FedEx/Kinkos, and smaller, “boutique” vendors who offer products and services your members won’t find anywhere else. Indeed, as you and your members suggest new vendors and products the Market Lodge application becomes totally personalized for both your members and for your site.

It gets better. Your members not only personalize their Market Lodge with products – they also personalize the content, make recommendations and reviews and offer ratings. Market Lodge creates a dynamic environment for your social network that enriches the online experience for your members as they collaborate with others, and make money and receive discounts on thousands of quality products and services.

Market Lodge provides a simple, no risk, entry into the exploding MeCommerce revolution. The Market Lodge business model creates a significant differential in the social networking landscape that attracts new members and enhances the experience of your existing members.
