What Is a CIP-WAY™ Member Merchant?

The CIP-WAY™ Member Merchant is a company or business that has made the socially conscious decision to partner with CIP Corp. to help support the community. They do this by agreeing to pay CIP Corp. a commission at 2 - 22% of the revenue that our cardmembers and referrals spend with them. Our company does the advertisement, marketing and promoting to encourage our members to patronize the merchants and/or businessess. Through The CIP-WAY™, CIP Corp. can recycle 75% of its commissions earned back through our business model and allow everyone to benefit at the same time. We welcome your suggestions and referrals to get businesses in your community that you frequently patronize, involved with actively supporting your favorite organization via the CIP-WAY™!

Unlike mainstream marketing and advertising strategies that require an advance capital outlay (i.e. billboards, yellow pages, commercials) our participating merchants don't have to expend any money, until someone walks in to spend money with them first.

As long as the business has the ability to accept ATM Debit Cards for Point of Sale (POS) transactions, they can participate in the card based aspects of our program. Additionally, e-merchants can use our unique e-commerce solution to accept A$$ETCARD™ payments for the purchase of goods and services sold on their websites.

Once you become a CIP-WAY™ Merchant member, we start marketing and advertising on your behalf in order to drive traffic (our cardmembers) to your particular business so they too may share in the giveback. We have the ability to track every transaction coming through our system and can provide detailed reports to document the level of card usage in your business, for easy billing and accounting purpose.

Why be a CIP-WAY™ Merchant Member?

Aside from the strong social statement that is being made from becoming a CIP-WAY™ Member Merchant, by making the decision to help support the community, its residents and institutions, you solidify your place as a stakeholder in the community.

• You determine the actual percentage of the giveback according to industry standards. You can start out conservative, then increase the amount after the program has demonstrated itself to you.
• Get a constant flow of new customers and an increase of your current customer's purchases. Consumers like businesses that are vested in their community and have proven that they will pay more and/or go out of their way to support a business that supports their causes.
• ACH has accountability (federally regulated), regular online statements available and is very familiar with all financial institutions and processors.
• You can start to save on your marketing/advertising budgets and even use your giveback/rebate as a business expense write off to the extent of the law.
• Unlimited publicity and advertising done on your behalf, just for accepting the card and participating in the giveback.
• Transactions are merchant friendly and controlled; there are several ATM Networks you already know of that are available on our A$$ETCARD™. So if you accept ATM Debit, you're almost sure to already be able to accept any of our co-branded cards.
• PIN-based Debit transactions are a lot less expensive (flat fee) than signature based (sliding scale) credit card transactions, so the chance for fraud is also drastically reduced, if not eliminated. For the first time, we have developed a patent-pending system that can use a PIN-based card like this in stores as well as online.
• A cost effective alternative to paper currency as it can reduce many of the expenses associated with managing checks and cash.
• The CIP-WAY™ is celebrity endorsed and has an inherent public awareness message due to the cause and socially conscious stance being taken.

Once a family begins regularly using their A$$ETCARD$trade;, they usually become enlightened to the fact that by participating in the CIP-WAY™, they are providing income to their nonprofit organization, as well as their own family... at a nominal cost! They also realize that by not participating, they are leaving money behind that could have been otherwise supporting the needs of the community. Obviously people are shopping! So as our motto says, "It Makes $ense" to do it the CIP-WAY$trade;!
