Localvantia-The Local Advantage

 

What is Localvantia?

Pronounced "Low-cull-VON-tee-uh" and short for "local advantage," Localvantia (launched on December 5, 2017) is a division of SFI and is designed to help you earn all your rank-qualifying VersaPoints each month by simply buying your groceries, fueling up your car, or dining at your favorite restaurants. The Localvantia website/search engine seeks to cover essentially ALL merchants with products and services consumed locally.

Localvantia is our powerful and unique program that lets you enjoy exclusive benefits, savings, and great rewards (including free VersaPoints, TCredits, Bitcoin, and more!) simply by shopping at your favorite local merchants.  

Yes, Localvantia means, for example, that you can earn unlimited FREE VersaPoints while simply going about your day--buying groceries, dining at local restaurants, fueling up your car, and so on, and with no additional cost to your budget!

It is not that simple as it seems, First of all you need to select a store and take a good photograph of it, upload on your Laptop & send to SFI headquarters for approval with its co-ordinates that you can get on Google Maps.

Once it is approved by the HQs, you need to approach the owner of the store, restaurant or Fuel Pump, as the case may be, convince him that the whole SFI Community would help in advertising his place locally to bring more customers.

But Localvantia won’t be just grocery stores, gas stations, and places to eat.  On the contrary, Localvantia is designed to cover essentially ALL merchants with products and services consumed locally.

And, as an SFI Affiliate, you can begin using Localvantia immediately! Simply visit the RW tab on your SFI homepage where participating merchants are automatically listed for you...then start shopping!

Here's how Localvantia works:

Localvantia is fueled by Rewardical digital rewards tokens.  Let's say you regularly visit a Localvantia restaurant in your area. With each visit, you collect Rewardical Tokens which are automatically added to your account balance (learn how you receive Rewardicals from merchants here). Then, whenever you want, just go to the Rewardical Exchange and redeem them for VersaPoints (or TCredits, Silver Bullion, Bitcoin, or whatever goodies you want)!

The Localvantia Merchant Referral program

Localvantia is a terrific program for earning rank-qualifying VersaPoints, etc.  But, as an SFI affiliate, there's a MUCH bigger opportunity as well.   That is, referring merchants.  For each merchant you refer, you can set yourself up to automatically earn 1 Rewardical for every 10 Rewardicals they dish out to their customers.  

Imagine referring a few dozen of your favorite local businesses.  Not only will you be able to earn unlimited Rewardicals for yourself shopping at your favorite stores, but you can also earn thousands of additional Rewardicals each month when those merchants award Rewardicals to their other customers!

Referring merchants is simple and easy. Just:

1. Visit your favorite merchant(s).

2. Take a good picture of their storefront.

3. Go to https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/lv_prereg and fill out the short pre-registration form for the merchant and upload the photo you took.

4. When you're ready, follow up (get instructions here (https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=230562). 

 Special Note: You must be an Executive Affiliate to be an Account Manager for pre-registered merchants. Learn more here.

Pre-registering merchants in your area will ensure YOU are credited for that merchant. That means when your referred merchant officially signs up with Localvantia and begins awarding Rewardicals to customers, YOU can be listed as the person who referred them and earn all the associated rewards.

Our pre-registration system also helps your area merchants get started quickly and easily. So, when you follow up with your pre-registered merchant, they can simply go to Localvantia.com and find 80% of theirbusiness listing pre-populated and ready to go. A few quick clicks later, and they can be off and running, live in the Localvantia.com search engine, attracting new customers...and earning you Referral Tokens!

COST TO MERCHANTS

Currently, for grocery stores, gas stations, and automotive businesses, they can participate for as little as 1/2% ($.005 for each dollar in sales). For all other types of businesses, the minimum is 1% ($.01 for each dollar in sales). Of course, it is in the best interests of the merchant to participate at the highest rate that is feasible for them, as this means a higher number of Rewardicals they’ll be putting out to attract and retain customers.

Hope it adds to your
