BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solavei®, a social commerce network whose mission is to make everyday commerce less expensive and even profitable for people, marks its first year in business by presenting the hundreds of thousands who joined Solavei in the past year with an attractive new offering – Solavei Marketplace. Working with First Data, a global leader in electronic commerce and payment processing, Solavei Marketplace now adds more value to Solavei’s social membership with card-linked cash back and discount offers from thousands of top national and local merchants.
“The explosive growth in our member base in our first 12 months validates our business premise and belief that social commerce will redefine distribution in the coming years,” said Ryan Wuerch, founder and CEO of Solavei. “We’re making people’s everyday purchases more affordable by shifting the large advertising dollars usually spent by brands to our members - directly rewarding them for sharing the value of Solavei with their friends and family.”
People join Solavei to enjoy contract-free, unlimited voice, text and data mobile service on a leading nationwide 4G network for just $49/month, and in the future Solavei will also offer its customers reduced-cost primary household goods and services such as general merchandise, broadband, energy, cable and financial services.
The Solavei social commerce network enables individuals to easily sign up, save money on primary goods and services and earn money when referring their friends and family through the Solavei platform. Solavei customers receive direct economic benefit for introducing Solavei to their friends with money earned directly deposited onto their Solavei Card. Members can then use their Solavei Card to receive cash at ATMs or make purchases everywhere Visa® is accepted.
“Solavei is an innovative leader in the social commerce industry,” said Mark Putman, senior vice president, First Data Prepaid Solutions. “With First Data’s program, Solavei will provide members with greater value across a wide selection of goods and services when they use their Solavei Card.”
Solavei Marketplace is an added benefit available for Solavei social members to access card-linked offers and discounts, automatically loaded from more than 16,000 large and small retailers nationwide including a majority of the top 30 largest U.S. retailers.
“Consumers can save additional money each month by using Solavei Marketplace to shop for goods and services they already buy,” said Wuerch. “Solavei Marketplace is a great example of how we’re dedicating our second year in business to offering more services, savings and value to our members.”
Solavei Marketplace is available now, and more information can be found in the introductory video on the SolaveiTV YouTube channel. To learn more about Solavei, become a member and start sharing, visit solavei.com.
