Meet Phil, today he told a friend visiting from out oftown about his favorite restaurant, suggested a highend flower shop for his boss anniversary, and took
his girlfriend to his climbing gym for the first time.
Hes always referring people to that restaurantbut theyre not aware of it; his boss forgets whatflower shop he mentioned so winds up shoppingsomewhere else; and theres another great climbinggym in town that would be happy to give hisgirlfriend (and him) a deal, but Phils not aware.

How Does the
Referral Work?The process is simple andautomated and is easy for theVendor, Maven, and Customer.
Vendors create special deals and invite Mavensto participate
Maven promoters distribute these deals to potentialcustomers in the form of an 8 digit alphanumeric codeemailed, texted or written down for the customer.
The customer redeems this code at the vendor andreceives the deal.
The Mavens account is credited for the referral andcommissions sweep weekly via Dwolla or PayPal fromthe Vendors account to the Mavens account
