The hCard Places the Focus on Local!

The hCard has always known that the key aspect of any business is the power of giving back. Community-minded businesses now know more and more that local is the secret sauce of commerce and it can increase profitability and success.

It is simply strategy of staying and spending local. There are multitude ways to add value to your local area, city, or region. Across many locations for example, the USO takes donations and provides a variety of items to military personnel across the U.S.A..  

As The hCard continues to focus on our continuous strategy of partnering at the local level, we are centering in on Fayetteville NC and adding Goldsboro as we partner with the communities through the Chambers of Commerce. We have a steady game plan that involves multiple cities over the remainder of the year. It is through these efforts that small businesses, retail establishments, schools, and nonprofits get the focus and the opportunity for continuous growth.

It pays to go L.O.C.A.L.:

  • L: Loyalty to products, services, people and process are key ingredients for connecting what you do with what everyone wants.
  • O: Opportunity launches corporations and entrepreneurial ventures and anything in between.
  • C: Communication and courage indeed carry the day as the economy forces all of us to stay close to home and work together. Success is indeed a team sport.
  • A: Attitude is everything in life and in business. A positive attitude is a great conduit for growth and for contributing to your community.
  • L: Leadership is the common denominator that helps businesses day to day. Good leadership means good practices, good core values, and the commitment to an increase in all aspects of what you do.

In conjunction with our spirited mission, our hCard Business Center is up and running for you to consider and be involved in as a continuous resource. Connecting with our clients and business contacts is the main reason we exist, and we had to focus on business marketing and development, community contributions, brand building, and social media/ marketing/ networking.

Please buy local on this Valentine’s Day!

The hCard: A Storied Past and a Great Future

Over the years, The hCard has developed a well-earned reputation for being involved in an array of community endeavors, always placing clients and businesses first. We realize that it is through continuous relationships that things get done. We have promoted and truly revolutionized the power of membership discounts, business advertising, local, regional and national discounting, and community partnering. We are the solution for shopping local and ‘show and save’ in area merchant locations.

It was through our fundraising arm that we involve our focus to include schools and nonprofits.  Our hCard Program gives them a platform to provide residual income for uniforms, sports, trips, the arts, and the like. We even handle all the orders and the deliveries and offer a renewal residual option! Selling cookies and candles quickly become Plan B when The hCard opportunity is presented.

Recently over the past months, we have found two key partners who have allowed us to grow even further with the military, police, fire, and first responders. Navy Federal Credit Union and Cox Communication in Virginia came on board to help us grow these critical discounts. They have been strong supporters of our mission. They bought into our Military Discounts and it has meant a lot to us.

We are now growing in both synergy and opportunity with three cities on board as Chamber Partners.

Our strategy of thinking local means so much in this economy. Our sluggish economy can only be strengthened from the ground up. Local growth means a stronger nation.

We believe in giving back. It is what started The hCard in the first place. Being supported and believed by increasing numbers of same purposed individuals gives us the power and the energy to grow.

Each day is a continuous celebration for us at The hCard, we call it living in the moment. Belief can go a long way. Our past blends nicely into the future.

The hCard Mobile Program Means Business!

Venture capital (VC) makes our local communities grow strong organizations and businesses. High potential and early stage opportunities that involve VC help to create jobs, build new companies, foster growth and create innovation across virtually every sector.

The hCard operates with this same type of focus. We are all about community and local activity. We know that the heart of every community is people. That is why we do what we do. We are in constant improvement mode to support local businesses and their continuing prosperity.

It is within the private sector that our economy grows and gets stronger. Working together with businesses is our continuous mission. With that in mind, we are offering every single business, regardless of industry or profession, a chance to support what they do in both products and services through the local Chamber of Commerce. We are soon starting regionally in Fayetteville NC and have the Fayetteville- Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce on board to share the launch.

Our plan with the support of local merchants using The hcard Mobile Apps, makes these valuable apps absolutely free to all those who serve and protect.

The new hCard Mobile Program is a smart game plan for progressive businesses to grow with us and with their respective chambers of commerce. With a new city launch every two weeks starting soon, we could see over 1000 businesses profit from this endeavor. It takes what we call business intelligence and we want everyone on board.

With Fayetteville, North Carolina being one of the top 50 locations in the USA for both economic opportunity and job growth, click here for information, we cannot wait to move forward.

The hCard Announces the Community Partner Program!

Cumberland County is one of the strongholds of our American Armed Forces here in the USA. Its county seat, Fayetteville, is best known around the world as the home of Fort Bragg, a major Army installation nestled in the northwest part of the town. Also located here is the Pope Army Airfield, a garrison that supports aircraft, medical and fire response as well as mission command and aircrew management.

With a population of over 200,000, Fayetteville is proud of the fact that it hosts the U.S. Army Forces Command and the U.S. Army Reserve Command. And it is the main reason why The hCard is in pre-launch in this military town with a target date of late January to launch The Chamber App and the Community Partner Program.

The principle reason why The hCard is here in Fort Bragg country  is that we bring incredible value to our military members with savings and discounts across the country. But as we head deeply into 2013, our continued focus even more on our military and all those who serve us on a daily basis protecting our freedoms.

Military personnel, veterans, police, sheriffs, and firefighters all can save hundreds of dollars at local merchants using The hCard Mobile Apps; and it is absolutely FREE! It is simple and easy to sign up and you can find all the information at http://www.thehcard.com/

The good people of Fayetteville and surrounding areas can support these free apps by purchasing The hCard from their favorite school or nonprofit. http://thehcard.com/content/organizations.html

All those interested potential members can also download The hCard discounts.

We bring value to all of our members and we serve a multitude of local communities. Fayetteville is a very special opportunity with a rich blend of patriotism, hard work and opportunity. For us at The hCard, that means success.

We urge you to visit the Fayetteville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce and all it has to offer!

Have a Safe New Year’s Eve From The hCard!

As this year closes and another begins, we want to take a minute and thank our emergency responders for everything they do. As evidenced by what has horrifically happened in Connecticut, they indeed can carry heavy burdens as part of their work and their personal lives. This New Year’s Eve will be no different from past New Year’s celebrations, a police car or EMS Unit will pull up to an accident scene about 2 a.m. on New Year’s Day.

Our local heroes keep focused and our committed to our safety 24-7 all year long. It takes a special person to support our community when danger or tragedy strikes. The hCard does what we believe needs to be done in appreciation for our responders. We offer, for our police and firefighters, our Show and Save App dedicated to each organization; we include the sheriffs with the police and each of these important services have an opportunity to save hundreds of dollars at local merchants. Using these apps is absolutely free.

Police, Sheriffs, and Firefighters  can navigate to our hCard  website and click on the Got Mobile box, right center of the page and register for this FREE opportunity. Discounts in appreciation for what they do just make sense in these still struggling economic times. When our police and fire personnel download The hCard Discounts Droid or iPhone Mobile App, they will easily find local businesses offering discounts in their communities.

Be careful on New Year’s Eve; we want you back in 2013!
