The hCard® Program Puts the Mobile into Local

Over the years, the hCard initiative has developed strong relationships with community-minded businesses by enhancing their visibility, customer loyalty and sales. Now the hCard has added a mobile hCard app, giving local businesses the further ability to benefit from leading edge communication, advertising and SEO technology.

The hCard success-based program helps everyone in the community.

  • Businesses become Community Partners with heightened credibility, becoming known as the good guys.
  • Members benefit by saving money.
  • Community-based schools and nonprofits benefit by receiving much needed revenue.
  • And, the hCard Program strategy has also recently been further enhanced by a free download for our military, veterans, firefighters and law enforcement to show appreciation for keeping us safe and secure.

At the hCard, we ARE “Funding the Heart of America®!”

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. Click here to check it out.

Please buy local on this Valentine’s Day!

The Business that Counts Gives Back

Sunday is Veterans Day across America. Since the year after World War I (1919), it has been one of the longest running tribute days in our history; every November 11th, we pause to reflect on those who have served and have kept us free. No matter whom we voted for yesterday for President of the United States, we got the chance to vote because of those who serve us well and protect us from harm.

Many of our local businesses are indeed very community-minded and want to do more for all of those who serve, not just the military who protect us on land and shore and overseas, but our police officers, firefighters, and first responders. We now have the perfect answer with Our Community of Mobile Apps Powered by hCard. Businesses can now support the individuals who serve us so well and advertise their business at the same time. Even those who volunteer in schools and around the local community are also helped as well.

Join us in our mission to give back. Your business can help make that difference!

We are reaching out to like-minded business owners. It is now simple to indeed giveback. Sign up. Offer a small discount with products and services; even 10% can make a huge difference to all of those individuals who keep us safe and free. For a limited time, every volunteer, military personnel, first responder, police officer, and firefighter can download their discount app for FREE.  It is our way to say thank you.

Your business can set now the tone for an entire community. For a limited time, get the Pre-Launch price. If you are one of the first 50 businesses to mention supporting Veterans, you will receive you ad for only $97.00.  Simply email admin@thehcard.com and put I support Veterans in the subject line.  Offer expires on November 15, 2012.

Our goal is to reach a half a 300,000 downloads and we will. Partnering with Chambers of Commerce is the best way to get the message out to businesses across the region.

These partnering businesses are also heroes for supporting those who serve. Getting on board is critical for success. Advertise your business where it is cutting edge in opportunity; on our Community Collection of mobile apps at one low price! With the focus on local discounts and our Community spirit, we can now partner to make a real difference.

Save and Say Thanks to All Who Serve

Thank you for serving!

It is a very patriotic way to express our appreciation for the military and what they do every single day in defense of America and our allies. We all know there are disturbances across the world from Africa to the Middle East; yet we continue to be safe as we walk our streets, eat in local restaurants, attend schools, and drive to and from work and activities. The military never sleeps.

Each branch offers a huge layer of protection that keeps all of us save and free. Military bases across the world are positioned in over 100 countries.

In fact, the U.S.Military is the country’s biggest employer with over one million Americans on active duty.

How many times do we wish we could do more to acknowledge our military personnel, especially with the Christmas and Holiday Season less than three months away. Rewarding our military is a very noble thought. But what can we do? We are just civilians.

There is something we can do that is very cool and we can do it as citizens and show the military we care.  And it gives us unbelievable discounts and saves us time and money in this still challenging economy.

All we need to do is head to The hCard membership site and download the civilian hCard Mobile Discounts for Civilians.  

Every time we download the civilian mobile app and save as citizens, the hCard will give up to three free app downloads to our service personnel.

Go to the site, and click on the square in the right center of The hCard main page. It takes us immediately to the app page. Click on The hCard for Civilians and fill out the info and hit submit. It is truly that easy.

Remember that our actions not only give our military that economic advantage, but all who serve in uniform get that same consideration. This offer is free to local police, firefighters and all first responders. That is right. Get the app and save, and they get theirs for FREE!

The gift to our military and first responders is just a click away! Savings that are local and nation-wide are at the heart of what we do!

The hCard Says Thank You to All Who Serve

We see them on the street. We notice them as they come off the plane. We bump into them at church or while shopping, and most of us say, “Thank you for serving!” It always draws a thank you back and then we both go on to other things in life.

We wave and smile at the Traffic Officer; we might even do a thumbs up as the patrol car does a slow tour of our neighborhood and our streets.

The kids always “ooh and aah” when they are close up to that big and bright pumper truck, and it is not just the kids either; we all love chatting for a second to the fire crews as they clean their vehicles and shine the fire department windows.

We do love our heroes in uniform. They could be undercover in a tough neighborhood with a police lanyard around their necks. Maybe they are deep in the South Pacific on an aircraft carrier. They maybe even patrolling our coast or flying 40,000 feet in the air.  But they are there. And they are keeping us safe and free. And do not forget our veterans of war who have served as far back as WWII.

There are multiple times when we think deep in the back of our minds that we should and could do more. But what can we do? Our lives are so fast paced and those kids have soccer, and tap, and dance and piano lessons. We need eight days in the week. We just have no time.

But there is indeed something we can do that is quick and easy. And doing it says THANK YOU in a big way to all who defend and serve.

Every one of us can head to The hCard, and download the civilian app that supports our mission.  The value is great and it is free to all police, military, firefighters, and veterans. Yes, totally FREE!

Every time a civilian downloads the app we can give up to three free downloads to our service personnel.

Head to The hCard site and click on the white box in the right center of the page (just like in the article picture). It will then take you to the app page. Click on The hCard for Civilians and fill out the short six liner and hit submit. It is truly that easy.

You will soon have your app and by doing it we can continue to give them to all those who serve. Military, Police, and Firefighters can save hundreds at local merchants using the new The hCard ® Apps and it truly is absolutely free!

So spread a little “appyness” around. Of course you can still say “thank you for serving”! They deserve it.

Patriotism is a great thing!

Our New hCard Discounts’ App Helps our Military!

 

Every one of us loves free, especially in this economy.

The hCard Program, known from coast to coast has grown steadily with the help and support of community-minded businesses.

It is because of this special partnering that we continue to offer our mobile apps for FREE to our military, our veterans and our first responders including police and firefighters.

We do this not only as a service to all who continue to serve 24-7-365 here in the States and around the world, but we also do it as a thank you for all who sacrifice personal life and family to give us continued freedom, and keep us safe here in our home towns and on foreign soil.

Whether you are a full time responder or a volunteer, you can use your current identification to download the app quickly and easily. All the information about the apps can be found right here: http://thehcardcommunitypartner.com/

And our civilian population can really help us continue our mission by downloading the hCard Discounts on your Droid and iPhone. With your purchase you help us give free apps to our military and first responders. Make a difference locally while you save! Savings include automotive services, hotels, restaurants, prescriptions and so many more.

To view savings on our online hCard Directory, go to www.thehcard.com. Browse our thousands of selections and exclusive deals. The hCard can be used from coast to coast and is always available to purchase with a school or nonprofit in mind.  

The hCard program is all about “Funding (and supporting) the Heart of America”. Please share this exciting program and with friends and family. Encourage them to download the “hCard Discounts” mobile app which helps us keep our program going.

Thank you America for the confidence and support!
