This document outlines the business plan for iConsumer, a company that aims to build a loyalty program by giving shares of the company to customers and rewarding them with more shares as they shop and refer friends. The plan is to initially give shares to 1 million people for free to build a large customer base. iConsumer will generate revenue by taking commissions from retailers when customers shop through the iConsumer platform. The goals are to eventually have 1 million members, generate $50 million in annual revenue, and provide a successful exit for investors through an IPO or acquisition. Metrics and forecasts are provided to show the phased growth and profitability projections at different membership levels.
How iConsumer is changing the game for cash back rebates, coupons, and savings via crowdfunded ownership with every online purchase.
Shop at over 1,700 stores and get cash back rebates. Use coupons from over 1,700 stores to save money. Earn shares in iConsumer when you get cash back. Earn more shares when the friends you refer earn cash back. And if iConsumer becomes big and valuable, you may sell those shares. Use our site, Android and Apple apps and browser add-ons to make it easy.
