The hCard Blog

The hCard membership not only enables savings and discounts, but facilitates fundraising opportunities for schools and nonprofits. The hCard leverages social and mobile commerce to increase traffic and revenue for business, while supporting the military, first responders and nonprofits.

The hCard and More is in Store for ’13

Over the past year, your hCard Team has grown in both community and focus to better serve businesses and individuals with national and local discounts, business community partnering, and fundraising. We want to grow even more in support of community in 2013 with a continuous alignment of relationship building and sharing, both locally and nationally, across the country.

More and more, The hCard is growing in stature and in opportunity. Because the foundation of what we do is grounded in an array of social causes, we have attracted much interest as we continuously develop our mission and core values.

One key aspect of what we do is completely web-based with a menu of mobile applications that are offered free to our military, firefighters, police and sheriffs, and community volunteers. We also have continued our long term commitment to discounts, coupons, and savings with a broad array of nationally and regionally known retail, product, and service local businesses.

It is through the hard work and efforts of our Founder/President, Sandra Burnett, that all of our vision is possible. She indeed had developed a simple formula of love and commitment of community that is even more heightened this time of year during the Holiday Season. Sandra’s strategic partnering with very recognizable brand names and her never ending insight into community services have pioneered ThehCard into the deals’ business with a community heart.

As referenced above, our unique mobile applications, powered by ThehCard, are indeed offered free to those who serve us on a daily basis and keep us the greatest nation in the world. Registration is simple and easy with an online form and these key people can save hundreds at local merchants using The hCard Mobile Apps.

With the increased use of smartphones and tablets, mobile everyday discounts offered with a social cause, are coming at the right time.

We have appreciated serving and we are now reaching out to Chambers of Commerce with our newest Chamber App that will bring even more businesses together in economic development. Included in this launch are mobile directories, economic growth, and business mobility; the support of chamber members just makes sense. We are The hCard, your Community Partner.

We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and the Happiest of Holidays!

It is the Season to Give and Receive! YES! Receive Mobile Apps Powered by The hCard!

For The hCard and for all of us, it is the Holiday Season and we are surrounded by good will and the wonderful Christmas classics on the radio. It is one of the best season to be community-focused and thankful for our health and our freedoms. As we gather at Christmas Tree lightings, Children’s Choir, evening parties, and church and synagogue services, we are grateful for all we have here in the USA.

This morning, as the police and firefighters in a nearby town cleared the main intersection from a traffic accident, we didn’t give them much thought other than the fact that our destination was being delayed by the unexpected jam up.

Across the vast oceans and countryside, it is a cool morning in Afghanistan as our soldiers, our sons and daughters, fight the haze and the high altitudes near Kabul to defend our freedoms.

And in schools across the country, volunteers deliver dictionaries and read stories to primary school children as their day of education and learning begins.

These are often the unsung heroes. And we all know that we often take many of their activities for granted. But each individual serves a dynamic role in making America better.

For those who serve this Holiday Season, we as civilians can indeed give back in appreciation for all they do. We offer free mobile apps to all in uniform and in spirit who make us better.

Our Mobile App Program is very special. And it is absolutely free in these four categories:

Please head to our home page and join us as we give thanks to all who serve here and abroad. Please like us on Facebook and show your support! It is through the generosity of our civilians that make the program the success it is.

We feel honored to give back. We know that you do too. May the Season of Hope and Joy bring only good things to you and your families. Happy Holidays America!

Chamber Growth and The hCard!

The Chamber of Commerce in every town and city is one of the foundations of business partnerships and is the conduit for critical visibility for local businesses. It makes sense that we help keep both our Chambers and our businesses strong and vibrant through this current economic environment. The Holiday Season has come at the right time to support sales increases and additional profitability. This momentum can carry well into the first quarter and deep into 2013.

Although we are presently in pre-launch activities, we are focused on our first city launch in Fayetteville, North Carolina, home of Fort Bragg, one of the biggest U.S. Army installations in the country.

Our new Chamber App is designed to drive clients to Chamber membership and move them into the New Year with increased focus. The best business value is being promoted through the community- focused Chambers. It is when value blends with Val-You that our mission grows.

“Our Chamber App” will soon be the mobile Chamber Directory app for every business that has a Chamber membership as chambers join across America.

For a limited time, chamber businesses, including insiders, can save and join this community effort for only $199!  Your business will be seen on all five apps (see below).

This provides your business with the full menu of both visibility and opportunity:

  • Listing on all Community Mobile Apps for one full year 
  • Firefighter Discounts Mobile App, free for Firefighters
  • Military Discounts Mobile App, free for all branches, Military & Veterans
  • Police Discounts Mobile App, free for all Police and Sheriffs
  • hCard Discounts Mobile App free for Volunteers
  • hCard School Directory
  • Top Listing on The hCard National Directory
  • SEO support for business
  • Business Blog
  • Facebook Feature

With the help of Community Minded Businesses, we continue to offer our mobile apps for FREE to our military, veterans and first responders.

Giving Thanks and Giving Back with The hCard

November is the month for both sharing and remembering. The month started with the commonality of all of us voting for national and local leadership, and we just recently remembered all those who have served with Veteran’s Day. The month concludes with what possibly is for many the most favorite of holidays, Thanksgiving Day. From our earliest history of Plymouth Rock and the Pilgrim celebration of harvest to what we have today in 2012, it is a day filled with family dinner, celebration and thankfulness for what we have in life.

The hCard is a family too. Our guiding principles center around the love and appreciation we have for others as well as our continued support for the local community and our continuing focus on  personal freedom.

The hCard’s Community Mobile App Program is a clear example of this blend of purpose, and we align our mission with businesses that feel the same way we do.

This Thanksgiving when we gather to give thanks for all those who keep us safe, we will focus on the Firefighters, Police, Sheriffs, our Military and our community volunteers who serve behind the scenes doing their duty here in our communities and across the globe. It is their presence and strength within a multitude of nations and here coast to coast that allow us to sleep well each and every night.

Our Mobile App Program is very special. And it is free in these four categories:

We feel honored to give back. We know that you do too. This is the beginning of a new and wonderful  season of hope and greetings. Please head to our home page and join us as we give thanks to all who serve.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
