Yocal must be Ladybug The “Local Yocal” is that man or woman in town that’s lived there forever, and who knows about everything and everyone. They are a source of great information, entertainment and stories and always the go-to resource for any local information, news and opportunities.
Yocal is a technology platform that connects people to all kinds of things in their local community. Most importantly, it connects international businesses to local people in a way that is non-intrusive and secure.
Yocal uses cryptocurrency technology to gain traction, build loyalty and reward both businesses and consumers for being a part of our ecosystem.
The Problems That Yocal Aims To Solve
1.Personal privacy A wave of consumer distrust is building around the leading tech corporations and what they do with their users’ personal data. Consumer profiling, tracking, and personal information data mining is generating billions of dollars for these companies. From there the saying goes “if the product is free then you are the product”. We believe that consumer data should belong to each individual consumer and that consumer privacy should never be compromised.
2.Fragmentation of apps We live in a world where almost every business wants an app to be close to their customer - but “too many apps” has left the consumer’s experience one of clutter and confusion. We believe that hundreds of thousands of small businesses around the world would benefit from an easy to use listing service, where a business can be listed on an app and be discoverable in their chosen region/location.
The Local Yocal Solution
Yocal earns revenue from the sales that we generate on the platform - not from tracking users or mining user data.
We offer small businesses around the globe a state of the art digital platform where they can reach new and connect with existing customers. Consumers then discover these products and services in their local area using tracking-free location based technologies. Yocal closes the loop by offering a range of services which includes a shopping cart, checkout system, delivery mechanism etc.
How do we attract businesses? This is the most existing part of Yocal! Our vision is to allow entrepreneurs in every part of the world to register with us to become a Yocal founder in their community. The entrepreneur will then sign up businesses in their area and earn revenue from the new business they generate.
How do we attract consumers? At the heart of Yocal is an ever evolving entertainment engine that offers competitions, lucky draws, games etc. Everything on Yocal is rewards based.
Rewards are earned when the consumers use the app, refer friends, complete tasks, enter competitions, and support small businesses. Technically minded users can stake their rewards to earn more rewards.
