After doing volunteer works for charity to deliver foods to homeless people, setting up free clinic to people with no insurance for years and having few friends closing their local shops, I thought that I can do something to help others again.

I am not so sure if this is my fastlane to millions any more. Doing something meaningful means much more to me than doing anything else do. I am also enjoying creating thing start from scratch and moving forward one step at a time. I do have so much to learn in the real business world.

It means to help local business survive the economy crisis and help local residents to save money shopping. It's a location based promotions system that allows customers to print local discount coupons and shop at nearby stores.

Goals:
  1. To replace paper based coupons book eventually. Go Green!
  2. To allow customer print only the coupons they need
  3. To lower the advertisement cost to local business
  4. To promote local small business with no physical boundary
  5. To reach out potential customers who visit different places
  6. Become a trusted authority for local shopping

Main features for Business:
  1. Register local business (store) and be seen on Integrated Google Map
  2. Publish Promotions, discount coupons and be found on the Internet
  3. Listed as nearby stores on other stores' dedicated page.
  4. Store photo gallery page
  5. Store video page
  6. Search Engine Optimized store page and promtions
  7. Lower cost to advertise on Google AdWords and Yahoo Publisher Network
  8. Cross promotions to other local business netwrok

This site is far from completion and perfection. There are more neat features coming. It has huge potential since Google is adding local business to search result and coupons template to AdWords while other coupons sites are joining the war.

As matters of facts, I have received many positive, negative feedbacks and have even been threaten by a big company. I know it has potential and I would like to get more feedbacks from fastlane members. I am also wondering if anyone on this forum runs local stores? Basically, it allows any local stores in any business types to publish their promotions. It is virtually no limitation.

I am also needing some help and advice in marketing, public relationship and business operations. Also looking for partners to grow with. I appreciate your help and will do my best to return your favor!

Thank you all so very much!
