Flashbuz Allows Social Currency to Finally Make it to the Shopping Cart

This April, 2016 a new shopping platform is rolling out where exciting new products and services are priced in accordance to each consumers social reach.

Flashbuz™, a social currency trading floor will turn the page on Internet payment systems allowing trackable and quantitative values to be placed on consumer friends and followers. Many referral tools and APIs on the web today, entice customers to refer a good or service in exchange for one small discount.  These services treat all customers as equals without knowledge of their demographics or actual social reach.  This reduces their value to the merchant ending in small incentives and even smaller brand reach.

Flashbuz is a full engagement branding platform where merchants select the social level and demographic of the customer they wish to reach in exchange for substantial savings.  This process promotes conscious consumer interaction within their networks and deeper social branding

Until now, only celebrities and extremely visible individuals could see any real monetary value to their growing list of followers on an endless list of social networks.  At the same time, merchants are struggling to achieve sustainable ad conversion rates as consumers increase ad blocking and mobile phones become the default browser.  All the while, consumer endorsements account for over 80% of Internet sales and continue to increase.

Flashbuz Chairman C. Aaron Bruce says “There is an estimated fifty billion dollars in unused social currency just lying in social network accounts waiting to be tapped”.  Flashbuz will provide the gateway for consumers to tap this currency and the valuation tools for merchants to quantify and qualify it.

Imagine a currency that continually replenishes itself, yet never decreases in value.  Its called ‘social currency’, and it’s value is easier to comprehend, more versatile and valuable than Bitcoin.  Flashbuz is uncovering this currency for consumers and merchants can’t wait for them to use it.

Bruce says, “It’s time we begin monetizing socializing.  Consumer endorsements are almost ten times more powerful than advertisements and almost five times more powerful than celebrity endorsements.  Consumers are connected to other consumers who share likes and shopping characteristics.  A consumer brand endorsement is the single most powerful sales tool on the internet.  Its time consumers cash in on their endorsements and merchants benefit from their powerful reach”.

Unlike ad platforms that simply interrupt social network conversations, Flashbuz makes brand messaging part of the conversations.  “This is how we have always learned of exciting new products, new restaurants and trendy happenings; through our friends”.
