Definition:

 * CardLynk is a circular and completely self sustaining business model. It is designed to assist local community organizations and associations with their ever increasing financial needs, while supporting the local community merchants and consumers.
 * It is a circular mechanism of support: The Merchant offers discounts to consumers/members while getting low cost advertising to promote their business within the community for more exposure. Fundraisers sell the discount card and get merchants on board, and make direct profits from the 2 sources at a very high financial gain. The Consumer buys the discount card/key tag directly from any fundraiser and 50% of the card cost goes directly to that fundraiser, while the consumer enjoys the savings and discounts, from supporting merchants, for the entire year.

Objective:

 * To have this business model promoted around the world, and support those organizations that need financial assistance along with supporting their community, while letting the consumer increase their purchasing power as well as boosting business to local merchants, and still supporting the needy at the same time.

More Company Info:

 * The concept was created by Jim McKenzie 15 years ago and is now coming to market in 2008 with the help of Andreas Gadmer (CTO and co-founder). The business is based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
