In the article, Kent details Horowitz’s job duties which include “developing Zavee’s customer base of merchants including restaurants, salons, service providers and retailers that will in turn, attract discount-seeking consumers.”

Consumers do not pay any fees to join Zavee and never have to purchase discount coupons in advance, they simply register a credit or debit card and when they make purchases at Zavee merchants they earn a cash back reward, each and every time they shop or dine.

Through Zavee’s unique marketing platform, merchants are able to create offers that attract new consumers and also reward loyal ones. This becomes the basis for the long-term relationship building that distinguishes Zavee from other programs such as Groupon and Social Living.

Zavee also assists the merchant and consumer relationship via social media.

“Many small businesses are not using social media as an everyday part of doing business,” stated Horowitz in the article.

Zavee makes that interaction easy, and Horowitz works with the Zavee merchants educating them about the benefits of the Zavee platform.

The article also provided tips from Horowitz on building relationships and trust in the business world and in the office.

“It was an outstanding article,” said Horowitz, “I have been receiving amazing feedback from people who said how the column detailed the core benefits Zavee is bringing to both merchants and consumers.”

“We are honored that so many outstanding causes and charities have joined Zavee,” said Ron Stack, COO of Zavee. “When we created Zavee, we wanted to benefit not only the local businesses and consumers, but also the outstanding organizations that do so much for our community.”

Joining Zavee is free for causes and consumers. There is a simple sign up section on the website and as soon as consumers are registered they can begin receiving cash back rewards every time they shop and dine at hundreds of Zavee stores and restaurants in South Florida. Zavee shoppers then earn Care Shares™ from Zavee for every purchase they make. Zavee converts the Care Shares into cash, which it contributes to Zavee member civic and charitable organizations selected by the shoppers.

For the Causes, signing up is also very simple and it brings the opportunity to earn donations. Organizations who promote Zavee among their members will have a greater amount of funds directed their way.

“Many organizations have been dealing with a lack of donations due to the economy, but Zavee provides a way for them to raise funds simply by having their members join our website,” Stack commented. “In addition, by being promoted on our website and through our social media and public relations campaigns, we are increasing awareness about the missions, activities and needs of these organizations.”

Zavee works with member causes to promote its Care Shares™ program to consumers. One major initiative is the Cause Challenge, in which Zavee causes compete for contributions based on the number of new shoppers they refer. Zavee recently held their first Cause Challenge in which Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, The Milagro Center and The Delray Miracle League each received a $500 donation from Zavee. The second Cause Challenge is being scheduled for March and Causes who would like to participate are encouraged to join Zavee and apply.

Zavee LLC, based in Boca Raton, is a community-based Web site that offers cash back rewards to shoppers and diners who visit Zavee merchants. As part of their first Cause Challenge, they are pledging $1500 to these charities as a match for each new member signed up by the end of the year. It’s free and easy to sign up. The donations will be awarded at La Cigale, a Zavee restaurant, in January at a party for the charities.

“We created this Cause Challenge to give everyone the opportunity to help charitable and non-profit causes this season,” says Ron Stack, COO of Zavee. “Signing up for Zavee is a great way to both give back and get back at the same time. Joining now assures that these causes will receive our contributions, while new shoppers begin receiving cash back rewards.”

Sign up now at www.zavee.com to help these causes:

Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, Inc., a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization with the sole mission of shipping monthly “We Care” packages to our United States servicemen and servicewomen serving overseas. Since 2003, our goal has been to send that little bit of home to assure they are not forgotten. To date, FSO has benefited over 100,000 individual military personnel. Information: www.forgottensoldiers.org .

The Delray Miracle League is a charitable organization that provides children with mental and/or physical challenges an opportunity to play baseball as a team member in an organized league. The children are paired with able-bodied volunteer “buddies” who assist them in batting, catching, throwing and running. Every child gets a turn at bat and in the outfield and every child crosses home plate. The point of the game is less about baseball and more about fun! The benefits gained by everyone involved are tremendous. The child’s self esteem grows, he or she makes friends, becomes less isolated and just becomes a regular kid, not a kid with a disability. Information: www.delraymiracleleague.com .

The Milagro Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, provides a superior arts education after school program to the children of Palm Beach County’s most disadvantaged populations. Milagro, which means “miracle” in Spanish, is a unique arts-integrated educational and cultural arts facility which serves as a catalyst for community collaboration, individual transformation and social change by providing enriched learning opportunities.
