  • Publication number: 20120278150
    Abstract: A system is provided for introducing customers to local businesses using incentives such as free goods or services. The system employs a server having a database and network communications and software capable of communicating with one or a plurality of user computing devices including a desktop, laptop, pad device, and smartphone. The system also includes inducements to the customers to continually provide valuable feedback to the business by limiting and increasing the number of incentives a user may have based on the number and quality of the feedback each user provides. Because the identities of the users visiting the businesses are known, the system provides a means to insure more constructive feedback to the businesses who are aware their identity is known, as opposed to the current mode where anonymous feedback is communicated which may be less than honest or actually placed by a competitor.
