An Update From TCA Founder, John Milanoski

Hello everyone,

It's been a little too quiet around here lately so I'm happy to bring you some news on John's progress with the new system.

You have freedom because you get to participate on your terms. Zero risk or obligation and you're always welcome (at any level you've decided) … follow and observe, engage and promote, save money, make money, help others, feature your favorite business, all in… making a difference.

 So I hope that helps bring you up to date. I believe I heard John confirm that offers would start going out to the members very soon! So keep an eye on your Inbox if you're a member already.
If you're not a member yet, there's still time to get in early before this opportunity passes by. Here are the links to the three non-profit organizations I'm currently promoting. Feel free to pick any one to sign up under. They're all great people and your support will certainly be appreciated.
The Friends of the Stoughton Area Youth Center is a group that helps provide funding for the operation of our local youth center. The center serves kids from 5th grade through high school. They offer tutoring, healthy snacks, technology & social programs. Click here to register on their behalf.
The Rockin' Lazy J Ranch is a privately funded & operated home for older children that are still in the foster-care system and at risk of 'aging out'. The ranch, located in Texas, provides a place where these kids can continue to gain the experience & knowledge they'll need to be successful as adults. Kids that are never adopted & given a chance to have a forever family, are at a much higher risk of being a burden to all of our society. Click here to register on their behalf.
The Luttig Family Foundation is a newly forming charitable group with a mission of helping children in the foster-care system. The LFF will provide grants and other financial support to families that want to adopt children but are unable because of a hardship. Every child deserves a forever home and family that will love & support them without condition. The LFF would like to see the number of waiting children to be zero. Click here to register on their behalf.
Thanks again for checking in & please stop again soon!
Peace, love & cheers,
Tom

Bad Economy Got You Down Friend?

Hello my friends,

It's been a couple weeks since I posted last. So I thought it was time to jump in & get a note out to all of you.

First, I want to let you know that John M. is still working out the final bugs in the system and reconnecting with some of the companies TCA worked with in the past. He said is hoping to send out an e-mail notice with an update to all the members very soon. But he couldn't say exactly when that would be. So until then, we'll be patient and keep working to build the brand.

Now let's talk about this ecomony. There are a whole lot of people out there that are really hurting financially. I have no doubt that everyone reading this knows somebody that's facing difficult times ahead when it comes to money issues. It might even be you. I can honestly tell you that it's been hard here sometimes for the last few years. I'm pretty sure that most people would like to find some way to oversome these problems. Well friends, I believe that The Customer Advantage could provide some solutions!

If you do nothing else as a member, you'll save significantly on products & services from local businesses when you purchase a voucher through TCA. These merchants are willing to offer deep discounts because they're confident that if you shop with them once, you'll come back in the future. That's the whole idea of this type of marketing. We want to help introduce you to businesses in your area that you may not have known even existed.

So saving is very good. But we can do even better. Because The Customer Advantage is an organization that is built by members, for members, we share our revenues with ALL the members. It's very simple, for every person that you refer, you will be paid 5% of all their future purchases. The more friends and family you refer, the more you get paid. Plus I'd love to show you how you can easily grow this number into the 10's of thousands! This alone could represent potential financial independence. The best part is that it's all FREE!

If you'd really like to build a career and your own business with The Customer Advantage, you can do that too. Let's partner together and take what you & I do to another level! First, you can get involved as an Independent Field Coordinator like I am. What that means is that you'll be the person working with the business owners that get registered under you. Don't worry if you think you don't have the skills or experience to do this. You'll be supported by myself and right on up to the founder, John. We're all part of a team. A team succeeds when everyone is making sure that everyone else is doing well.

As a Field Coordinator, you'll approve new businesses to be part of TCA. Then you'll be the first line of contact when they start running their offers. Be warned, they might depend on you to help them with writing or coming up with ideas for their deal. So you'll need to be creative and well organized because you could be very busy! But don't worry, you'll be well compensated for your efforts. The formula is a little complicated but in it's simplest explanation, you'll get an additional 1% of ALL sales by EVERY business you manage. That could end up being thousands of dollars just for one deal from one business. Do you think you could handle that?

So if you're ready to say adios to your financial blues, contact me as soon as possible so we can move forward together! I know I'm excited. Are you? ;-)

Peace, love & cheers until next time,
Tom

TCA Motto - We Don't Succeed Unless You Do!

Hey Friends!

Well there wasn't a lot going on last week and I had some other things to do, so I didn't get around to getting news out.

There's still not as much happening as what I'd honestly like to see, but thought I'd post a quick example of what we'll do to help your non-profit, charitable organization or business too!

As a Field Coordinator for The Customer Advantage, I wanted to share a little about what we do for you. This is an example of a small table-top display letting customers and passers-by know about your efforts. This is just one example! We work with our clients to provide them with all the tools they'll need to promote their cause. All our work is custom created for your cause.

And there will NEVER be a charge for the services we provide!

If you work with a non-profit or charity and are looking for ways to raise money, please click on the picture. It will take you to the invitation site for the youth center. You can sign up there or send us a note requesting more information on how we can help your group.


Thanks for taking time to check in here! Wishing you my best :-)

Peace, love & cheers,

Working to Rebuild "Downtown" America

A hundred years ago, a city's downtown district was typically the lifeblood of commerce & economic development. One could purchase almost anything that was needed or desired. But the shift to motorized transporation & dispersement of the population into suburbs, brought about the malls and eventually, the now infamous, "big box" retailers.

This new competition and shift in our way of living, devastated many of the small, locally owned & operated, retail establishments on our Main Streets. These businesses often occupied quiant and many times, historically significant buildings featuring beautiful architectural designs. They had character like the store and were fun to shop in. You also had the opportunity to see the actual owner. However, in a typically price driven economy, many of these were unable to complete. The result of years of this decline, was to see shops closing and empty storefronts as one drove through town.

Recently again however, many of us have realized that for a community of any size to have an excellent quality of living, it needs good schools, smart leaders, plus an active, diverse & vibrant downtown as well larger retailers. If an individual wishes to walk across a gigantic stretch of an asphalt parking lot to purchase cheap underwear, that is they choice of course. However, many would also like to peruse unique displays along shady walks at a more leisurely pace. And who among us doesn't want to see the "little guy" do well and prosper? It's the American way.

But the "little guys" need help if they're going to continue to survive against their big box challengers.

One problem small business owners constantly face is marketing. Just letting people know you exist can be a lot of work. Then getting customers in the door and purchasing is another matter to contend with. Spending money without certainty of return on investment is scary & difficult. Especially when faced with a usually limited advertising budget.

Several years ago a company called Groupon was created with a somewhat unique idea to fill these needs. As it turns out, they did a pretty darn good job of it too...for a while. Within a couple short years, Groupon's owners got an offer to buy them for six billion dollars from Google. They promtly rejected the offer as being to low for what they were making in profits.

Unfortunately for Groupon, their business model has lead to problems for the company. Expensive marketing, bloated over-staffing and unhappy business clients currently leaves the company in a vulnerable state. Their stock continues to decline.

TCA founder John Milanoski knew there had to be a way to take this model & turn it into an entity that benefitted everyone. John knew that decentralization and streamlined processes were going to be key to making his idea a success. John knew that the businesses TCA worked with needed to be treated with dignity & respect. John knew if his plans didn't "work" for them, the whole thing was doomed to fail. John knew he needed an organization that would be by it's members, for it's members. John wanted everybody to win or he wasn't going to spend his time trying.

So The Customer Advantage is what came from all of this! Simple elegance.

Subscribers sign up for a free account & receive an e-mail every day with a product or service that a local business is offering for a discount. The discount will always be at least 50%, if not more. The subscriber has the option to purchase a voucher which is then redeemed at that business. But there is never a requirement to buy anything. So far, this is just like Groupon.

But let's talk about where things get way, way different. Whereas Groupon has chosen to spend it's profits on buying costly campaigns and paying dividends to it's stock holders, TCA is doing something different. They share a majority of the profits with folks like me (& you too maybe?)! They can do this because TCA pays it's members to spread the word instead of using other costly gimmics. It's so simple, it's almost hard to believe!

In addition, Groupon has also chosen to market their services more toward larger companies. TCA is looking to work with the many locally owned, "mom & pop" operations that make up a majority of employers. The Customer Advantage believes that together, we can rebuild our Main Streets to their former glory!

So here's a quick picture of how it all works. After you get your free membership, if you happen to see an advertisement for something you need or want, simply click the button to purchase a voucher. Print it out and take it in to be redeemed.

If you have a friend that might be interested in the offer too, you just forward them your e-mail. Tell them if they'd like to take advantage of the special, they just need to click your link to register. It only takes a minute & it's free. Chances are, they'll appreciate the fact that you were thinking about them. When your friend makes any purchases through TCA in the future, you'll get rewarded for inviting them in! Check out my previous post for more on that. Talk about exciting! That's all there is to it friends. Done. Finito!

So what's next?

The primary mission for me going forward, is to find businesses that have used Groupon in the past, have thought about using Groupon or are simply in need of some new customers. Even if they used Groupon and didn't like them, they'll like us! TCA uses independent Field Coordinators, like myself, to help merchants get set-up & run their offers. We're compensated based on our performance. Hook me up with these people & I can make it very much worth your while!

As you can see the program really does work for everybody. Businesses are in complete control to get guaranteed, paying customers for a guaranteed, fixed cost. Subscribers get a fantastic deal, keep shopping dollars in the community and they get paid just for helping to share. Not a bad deal if you ask me! :-)

But I need your help please.

I'm also really wanting to work with non-profit and charitable organizations that are trying to raise money for their causes. As such, all future invitations from me will be in support of an organization I work with.

If you'd like to sign up for a TCA subscriber account, please click here. This will take you to the invitation page for the Stoughton Area Youth Center. Rewards from from your future purchases will help support programming for the kids. You can learn more about what's going there via their Facebook page or web-site.

If you have a group that you're trying to raise money for, contact me. I'll help you get set-up and also start promoting your organization here too! I want to help as many people as I can. :-)

Until next time, I wish you peace, love & cheers,

TCA Is Looking For Partners!

Hey friends!

Well Spring is just days away now although the weather here is still more winter-like than many of us would prefer. It seems like most people I talk to are ready to get back outside again in warmer temperatures! I couldn't agree more. :-)

Since I'm sure you've got lots to do, today I'm going to keep things a little more brief.

I'd like to ask you to do something quick & easy for me if I could please? The Customer Advantage is looking for non-profit organizations and charities that would be willing to partner with them to get the word out about what we're doing. In return, TCA is going to give 5% of all future sales for anyone that signs up through their link.

It's really simple. Just sign up for a free account. Then share the link with other members of the group. There's nothing to buy or sell, and no purchases are required.

What makes this program so special is the way the founder, John Milanoski has structured it to give back to the members. This is accomplished in such a fashion that there could be literally thousands of people contributing to your organization! This is because TCA pays dividends on all purchases of members through five levels deep. Let me give you a quick example using the number 10.

Let's say that your group is the point at the top of pyramid. Now you & 9 other people register for their account. We'll refer to them as Level 1.

Then the ten people on Level 1 each find ten of their friends and family to sign up. We'll call these 100 people Level 2.

If everyone on Level 2 finds ten friends and family to sign up, that's another 1000 on Level 3!

If Level 3 all get ten to sign up, Level 4 is up to 10,000 people!

Finally, if Level 4 get their ten signed up, add another 100,000 people as Level 5.

In all, that's 111,110 people contributing 5% of all future purchases to YOUR organization.

John Milanoski is determined to make a positive difference with The Customer Advantage and I agree 100% with his plans. So I'm looking to help groups get registered. When things start rolling here soon, you'll be in a very good position to capitalize on this great opportunity!

One of the things I'm doing is helping to promote anyone that signs up through one of my existing partners. Here's a link to a new group called The Luttig Family Foundation. Yes, it is a non-profit organization that I started and am working to promote. Please read more & contact me with any questions.

Peace, love & cheers to you all,

TCA Works for The Luttig Family Foundation

Hello again friends,

If you've read any of the previous posts here, you're already aware of The Customer Advantage founder, John Milanoski's desire to see his company doing real good in the local communities where we operate. So one of my projects is this blog to share a little bit about the different groups TCA is helping. I'm hoping my words might inspire some of you too. :-)

Today I'd like to share something very special with you. This time it's my story. I'd like to tell you about my dream to help families through a new charitable foundation I'm creating, called The Luttig Family Foundation. Here's a short overview to give you some idea of what I'd like to accomplish. I'll definitely be sharing more in future posts and you can always check out my Facebook page here too.

I came up with the idea of a foundation several years ago. My parent were big into the concept of community service and giving. I guess some of it wore off on me too. But I didn't know what purpose it would serve or how it would be funded. Over the last year, these questions have been answered.

It started after my mom passed away back in 2009. I came to the realization that I was already the same age as my father was when I was born. Yet I had no family or even any prospects on the horizon. Who would care for me when I got to be his age? Right now? Chances are nobody. So I wondered, would I spend my final days or even years in some "facility" with no one there that truly loved me? That idea was not very pleasant to me. As I contemplated my future, a number events pointed me in the direction of adoption as a way to build my own family. So I began a journey which has been frustrating at times and inspirational at others.

One of the most significant obstacles for me was, quite honestly, money. I needed to remodel a bedroom and unfortunately, because I was doing the work myself & had to finance it on the installment plan, it took longer than I really wanted. I also needed to get a physical exam but have no insurance and was required to pay out-of-pocket for this. But even though cash flow here has been slim, I was willing to take on the extra costs as part of my quest.

These hindrances were the inspiration to answer my first question. The foundation would help adoptive & foster families with financial assistance. Specifically, my intention is to help families that want to adopt kids that are considered "special needs" cases from the U.S. foster-care system.

At any given time, there are around 125,000 kids available for adoption. Many of them have medical or other issues which make them more difficult to find permanent homes for. Yet we know that there are lots of families that would take these children but don't currently have the ability to do so. There's lots of reasons and thankfully, money can solve many of these problems!

The next question was how to provide on-going funding of the foundation without the constant need for actively raising money. I'd rather be giving it out than trying to collect it. Then I was introduced to TCA & John. That answered the second part of my question. The money that will be generated through this program should be sufficient to aid many families with their desire to adopt.

Now I'll admit, I have a lot of work to do to really get going and there's still a ways to go before I get there. But I'm looking forward to the challenge and doing something that will help bring kids home to a permanent, loving family.

If you're interested in helping, there's a number things you can do. Of course, financial donations won't be turned away. Initially, I'll use this money to help with getting all the pieces in place so we're sure we're doing everything by the books. But once we get going, it will all go to the families in need. Next, at some point in time, I'll need to set up a board of directors. This group will help in guiding the foundation. If you'd have any interest in serving, please let me know & I can get you more information as we get to that point. Finally, if you haven't already, please consider signing up for a free account here with The Customer Advantage. When you make a purchase (not required), 5% of the sale will automatically go into a fund for the foundation.

For myself, I still have yet to find a child to move into my new bedroom here. But the search continues and I'm sure it will happen soon. There's too many kids in need for my home to go unfilled.

Well thanks for taking time to read & get to know a little more about my plans. I'm very excited about what the future holds. Not only for me but for the kids we will help know what it's like to have a safe, stable home with a family that loves them.

Wishing you peace, love & cheers as always,
Tom

Help The Rockin Lazy J Ranch with TCA!

Good day my friends,

As you be aware, the founder of The Customer Advantage, John Milanoski, has instructed his Field Coordinators to seek out ways of giving back to our communities. I have chosen to share his brainchild, TCA, with charities and non-profit organizations in hopes of helping them help the people they serve. So far we have already signed up several great causes which we'll be high-lighting here in future posts.

Today I'd like to share a little bit about The Rockin Lazy J Ranch. This charitable organization is the project of a gentleman named John Morrison, whom I met through a Facebook group dedicated to foster-care and adoptive families. John's life story as a foster child is terrible and sad but also incredibly uplifting and inspirational. He is a true example of what the human spirit is capable of achieving. We wish John the best of luck on his venture and hope we can help him be successful.

The following excerpt is directly from his Facebook page. The mission at the ranch is...

"To touch the lives of those children in need!! Those children in Texas that need homes and a loving family. Or goal is to cater to those in need of long term care, those that will be it the system for the rest of their childhood!!

If you were in my shoes would you be doing the same, would you be willing to give the remainder of your years to make a better life for a child that is not your own?? I do not ask for this cup to be taken from me, I take it freely, knowing that at anytime, I could walk away, but I choose not to! I have a great need to do this not only for the kids that I can help, but for my own peace!! What I want to offer them are the things that were not offered to me, hope, love and a purpose in life, this is my purpose!"
- John Morrison

If you would like to help make a difference in the life of a child in need, please consider signing up under John's link to The Customer Advantage. It's completely free and there's no obligation to buy anything ever! But if you do find a deal that you like, 5% of your purchase will go directly to The Rockin Lazy J Ranch.

Do you have a non-profit or charitable organization that could use some help raising money? Please leave a comment and we will contact you about what we can do. You can also write us at TCAWorks4U@gmail.com

Wishing you peace, love & cheers,
Tom

TCA Works for Non-Profit & Charitable Organizations

Now here's a bit of good news for you today! Did you know that non-profit and charitable organizations can sign up for a free Customer Advantage account and get paid for simply sharing their link?

IT'S TRUE!

TCA founder, John Milanoski, is a very civic minded man. One of his goals is to give back to the community. So John has instructed his Field Coordinators to seek out groups that are looking to raise money for worthy causes. This could be anything from a center for youth to a sanctuary for injured birds to a home for foster children.

Is The Customer Advantage Right for your business?

An interesting article I came across about whether or not working with companies like Groupon or The Customer Advantage is good for business.

I represent The Customer Advantage. It's probably not for every business out there. But when carefully thought through and executed, this program can bring more new customers in a single day than may have been in a year!

We offer a service very similar to Groupon & Living Social but with one really big difference. We are an organization built by members, for members. We share over half of our gross revenue with the members! So if your business is a member, we share with you too.

I would encourage you to check out this page & consider joining yourself!

Thanks!
