TREEGENERATION LOCAL

By getting onboard our Local programme, your business will benefit from:

 Brand promotion

 New customers

 Customer loyalty

Our services are available for independent retailers, small businesses, sole traders, and artisans.

TREEGENERATION is rolling out in Aberystwyth in West Wales, and we plan to expand into other towns in the area in the future. Watch this space!

Example:

1. You sign-up your business and make a commitment to provide £100 of discounted goods and services to support local wildlife projects. You list £50 vouchers available for sale, with a £5 CtW. 
2. Jo makes a payment of £10 to their favourite wildlife project, and in return is rewarded with £10 Local Credit.  
3. They purchase your voucher paying £5 Local plus £45 regular money, and their credit balance is reduced to £5. 
4. When they present the voucher at your POS, you use one of the three checkout methods we provide to validate and complete the sale. 
5. Upon completion of the sale, your commitment is reduced by the value of the CtW, from £100 to £95, and we pay you the remaining £45 on the voucher via BACS. You are listed on TREEGENERATION as having contributed £5 to wildlife!

Why should I sign-up my business?

There are a number of reasons for signing your business up with our TREEGENERATION LOCAL programme:
 

 Business Promotion

Most businesses use out platform for the simple reason that it is a cost effect method for promoting your brand, and getting new and loyal customers. If you pay for advertising or spend time promoting your business in any other way, then you should consider giving our approach a try as well.

 CSR

TREEGENERATION is a good opportunity if you are seeking to demonstrate your Corporate Social Responsibility, since the Contribution to Wildlife that you make is a public endorsement of your commitment to public well-being. 

 Committed to the Environment

Perhaps your business is already committed to the environment, in which case out platform is a great way to express that commitment in new ways, whilst generating additional sales at the same time.

 Alternative to Carbon Offsetting

A lot of people are against carbon offsetting and see it as part of the problem, rather than a solution. Using our services is a good alternative because you demonstrate your Contribution to Wildlife, rather than your carbon offsets.

 Good for the Local Economy

Our Local Programme is designed to give the whole local economy a boost, and not just your business. What is good for the local economy is good for your business, as well as everyone else!

 Trying your hand as an artisan

If you are a budding artist or crafts-person, you can try listing your work here, to see if you can generate any sales in your local community.

 Don't like other online marketplaces

Maybe you already sell via an online platform, but are not happy with it because it charges too much or is too profit orientated. You can give our purpose driven platform a try, and give local wildlife a boost as well as your business ..

Five product types available

You can choose from the following range of products for your business:
 

 Vouchers

You are provided with a voucher product automatically when you create your business account, although you do not have to use it. You can have up to four voucher amounts, and for each of these you choose the Contribution to Wildlife (CtW) amount. Vouchers are a great way of getting new customers to your business or store. When a customer buys one of your vouchers they are emailed a unique code, along with a PDF version of the voucher. Read more ..

 "Wild Saver" Loyalty Discounts

Offer a percentage based loyalty discount to your customers at your in-store checkout. This product is a ideal for building customer loyalty and achieving repeat sales. The % discount that you offer is up to you. Loyalty discounts are only available to mobile app users who have credit in their Virtual Wallet. You also need to be using our mobile app or website at your POS to be able to handle them. You are provided with a Wild Saver product when you create your business account, but do not need to use it. Read more ..

 Fixed Rate and Variable Discounts

Create you own special offers like "£5 TO WILDLIFE when you spend £50 or more", or "£10 TO WILDLIFE with your first session when you become a member". These Offers are a novel form of "discount" because customers do not actually pay any less. They buy your offers and a financial contribution goes to a wildlife project of their choice instead. When the customer buys an offer, they are given a coupon code which they can redeem at your POS in return for a discount. Read more .. 

 "Buy-now" Products

These are products that you sell directly through our platform rather than through your own store. Any business can add a Buy Now product, but they are particularly suited for artisans, or new-start businesses that do not have your own store or website. You can list all your items as separate products, or you can create variations within a single product. For each product variant, you decide an appropriate CtW amount. After a customer purchases one of your products, we forward the money to you, less the contribution amount.

 Event Tickets

Use this product type to advertise and sell all manner of events and tickets, such as parties, festivals, or courses. Event Tickets work in a similar way to "Buy Now" products so you can create different variants within your product, such as "Premium tickets", "Standard tickets" etc. As with other products, you specify a CtW amount which is forwarded to the customer's preferred wildlife project. For each ticket sold, the customer is emailed a unique ticket number, along with a PDF version of the ticket.
