GoChime

GoChime is a platform that puts forward relevant offers to people based on their requirements across their social media profiles. Today, the start-up has raised $63,000 from various entrepreneurs and angel investors namely Walter Winshall, Rob Martin, Geoff Entress, Jason Seats and others.

The co-founders of GoChime namely Matt Walters, Josh Emert and Austin Evarts thought of direct marketing for social by studying people’s social media updates. Social media is a medium on which very many people express their needs, disappointments with products, after-sales services, specific requirements in a product or a service that they need.

For example, a person is going on a holiday and is looking for a good hotel. He might ask his friends on social networking sites to recommend hotels. That is where GoChime comes in. It eliminates the need for searching Google for products and solutions. It uses your casual conversations to know what you need, and delivers it to you.

GoChime passes down relevant brand promotions to brand loyalists who then match the products and services with the needs of customers. Those promotions that are not relevant are trashed, and those that fit the needs of customers are passed on to customers with incentives such as coupons, discounts, freebies and so on.

Because GoChime provides you with great offers on what you need, you not only save time searching for a product or a service, you also save money. One of the greatest advantage of GoChime is its timing. They will never spam you with offers you do not need. You get access to deals and solutions when you need them the most. In turn, brands get ready customers which they could not get access to otherwise. At GoChime, loyal fans earn rewards by promoting the brands they love and care about.

GoChime aims to use the new economy that is emerging on social. By providing a link between brands and customers where brands can provide customized services to customers, GoChime is ready for the new future of buying and selling.
