9. Marketing & Traffic Expectations
YourLocalSavings (YLS) uses a multi‑channel marketing approach that includes word‑of‑mouth distribution, rideshare partnerships, social media, SEO, paid advertising, and progressive email campaigns to engage local consumers. As part of our promotional strategy, YLS may offer incentives such as vacation packages or discount gift cards valued at $100 or more to encourage consumers to join our newsletter or create a free member account.
Consumers who create an account may also save businesses to their favorites, receive deal reminders, and access a personal referral link that allows them to invite new businesses to the platform and earn cash rewards for successful referrals. These incentives are designed solely to increase engagement and participation.
Our platform was built on the idea that effective advertising should be affordable and accessible for businesses of every size. YLS uses a “compound marketing” approach — similar to compound interest — where consistent, ongoing exposure creates stronger results over time.
We encourage all businesses to maintain a continuous marketing presence for at least three years. This long‑term strategy is the foundation of our pricing structure and is designed to help you steadily grow your customer base while remaining visible to local consumers.
Our goal is simple: to help your business attract new customers and stay active on the platform for as long as you choose to operate. A consistent presence not only benefits your business but also provides value to our consumers, who rely on seeing trusted, high‑quality businesses on YLS.
Our growth plan includes reaching more than 500,000 consumers over the next 2–3 years through multi‑channel marketing and distribution. While we work hard to increase exposure, YLS does not guarantee any specific number of customers, sales, or revenue. Results vary based on many factors outside our control.
10. Platform Development
YLS may update design, layout, and features at any time.
11. Content Ownership
You own your business information. YLS owns platform design and marketing materials.
12. Right to Refuse Listings
YLS may decline or remove any business that violates standards or harms the platform.
13. No Guarantee of Results
YLS does not guarantee customers, sales, or revenue. Platinum Add‑On guarantees traffic only.
14. Referral Program
You may earn a free month or monetary reward after your referral's first payment.
15. Limitation of Liability
YLS is not liable for revenue loss, customer loss, business interruption, or third‑party issues. Maximum liability is limited to the amount paid in the previous 3 months.
16. Governing Law
Texas law applies.
17. Barter / Trade Option (Optional & Case‑by‑Case)
17.1 Eligibility
Barter is considered only if the offered goods or services match or exceed the plan value and provide real value to YLS.
