Wowsta Background
Wowsta is a new Shopping, Leisure and Lifestyle Program
with a reach during 2015/2016 of up to 5 million shoppers and
consumers.
The Wowsta Program is a closed-loop membership program where the business
partners within the Program may only be accessed through a consumer membership
login. Wowsta has operated a pilot program to show ‘proof-of-concept’ and the
program has been restructured and remodelled for launch in response to feedback
during this Pilot.
The main Wowsta Program launched in November 2015 with
3 major stakeholders:
♦♦Members – who will access discounts from and support the merchants and
business partners from within the Program
♦♦Merchants and Business Partners – who will benefit from the program by accessing
the members as customers and clients on an ongoing basis
♦♦Not For Profit Groups (charities, sporting clubs, community groups, schools etc).
Wowsta will donate 10-20% of all Total Wowsta Income, across multiple revenue
streams, to the nominated beneficiaries of our members

How is Wowsta Different to other
programs?
♦♦Wowsta eliminates the need for members to have a plastic membership card –
utilising mobile technology for redemption of offers instead
♦♦Members may access the Wowsta merchant offers on an ongoing basis (as
opposed to ‘one-off’ offers from other programs).
♦♦Wowsta is more heavily invested than other programs, in the growth of local
communities through local merchant onboarding
♦♦Wowsta donates significant funds to NFP Groups across multiple income streams
♦♦Wowsta has a massive ‘engagement focus’ that other programs do not have. The
Wowsta marketing team is committed to engaging and communicating with all
partners (from consumers through to Strategic Partners) to enable the Program
and each stakeholder to grow and develop as part of the Wowsta community.
The team will achieve engagement through website, app, targeted marketing,
targeted newsletters, targeted blogs, massive social media interaction
♦♦Wowsta has the ability, through an engagement sub-platform, to offer
merchants, beneficiaries and strategic partners the opportunity to incentivise
sales, customers, clients and participation in events. Wowsta can also provide
this opportunity free of charge to selected strategic partners
