Early Adopters 

We are looking for proactive companies who will be known as ‘early adopters’, to support, sponsor and advertise through the portal in its early development. We would encourage ‘early adopters’ to be open minded and see the potential in this project and become involved at the earliest opportunity to give it the best possible start. The project is for the benefit of the community and non-profit making, any money generated will go back into the project to provide more resources in the community, in effect a social enterprise.

The benefits to your business would be:

• Engagement at ‘grass roots’ level with those who are socially excluded
• Being able to put something back into the community
• More enhanced profile of your business in some areas difficult to penetrate
• More enhanced profile of your business with the key organisations we are, and aspire to work with
• The fulfilment of a social responsibility that many of us take for granted in a tangible way
• Helping to deliver a sustainable community based initiative

Your business is successful and you may feel the time is right to put something into the community that both supports the community and in turn your business in a way that is not too demanding on its finances. Being an early adopter means as our unique visitor rates grow, your company will have the opportunity to promote through one of the more innovative ways to new customers.
