At GOTYOU, we believe the nearly $1 trillion advertising industry is flawed. Digital advertising was designed for online transactions, not for bridging online promotions with offline sales. The reality is that over 80% of transactions between businesses and consumers happen face-to-face in our communities. So why should third-party middlemen control these essential local relationships? Businesses and consumers are paying a high price, while big tech reaps all the rewards. Paying for online ads with Google, Facebook, or others, and attempting to track their impact on local storefronts, is nearly impossible.
Founded in late 2022, GOTYOU aims to transform this landscape. Our founding team has been thought leaders in transforming how local businesses and consumers engage in the digital world since 2000. Using cutting-edge blockchain technology, we directly connect consumers and merchants within our local communities. With our universal rewards currency, consumers earn real cash for their actions, driving authentic engagement, building loyalty, and promoting growth without traditional digital marketing inefficiencies.
At GOTYOU, our mission is to empower users and merchants to control their digital profiles, fostering genuine engagement and collaboration. We help businesses build communities of active users who provide feedback, share experiences, and promote local enterprises. These users are rewarded for their contributions, just as businesses reward platforms like Google or Facebook.
We enable merchants to easily connect with customers already in their store, encouraging them to share how great the business is with others. By integrating local consumers into the value chain, we help businesses eliminate big tech intermediaries, keeping more resources within our communities. GOTYOU is dedicated to driving sustainable local growth, ensuring every interaction supports and strengthens the community.
This journey started 25 years ago, and over those decades we have connected over 100,000 businesses with millions of consumers through our platforms. Today, we are on a new mission to build a platform that truly re-energizes local communities. Traditional discount apps, coupons, BOGO offers, and third-party marketplaces eat up much of the profit for local restaurants and retail shops.
GOTYOU aims to change this by enabling millions of businesses and consumers to interact and engage directly, without a third party taking 20-30% of the transaction. Using Web3 technology, our app acts as a facilitator, not a middleman. Both consumers and businesses own their data and information, making it easy to get referrals, feedback, and promotion at the time of purchase, starting with a simple check-in.
Experience the fusion of trust, community, and impact with GOTYOU, where every interaction supports local businesses and strengthens the community.
