Greenback

  • The Greenback card was a membership driven savings program that I started
  • Simply put, I was driving traffic to local businesses
  • The business would come on board the membership and offer savings to anyone with a Greenback Card
  • I personally went door to door and signed over 100 businesses within 60 miles of Billings, MT which all paid $99/month to be part of the membership. Then I turned around and sold Greenback Membership cards to people all over the region for $40/year so they could save money year round at participating locations.
  • Shortly after starting this company Groupon launched. It was only a matter of time before groupon took marketshare all over the US. That ultimately ended my startup company! Next!
