Description: This unique social/entertainent membership app, that offers members activities and events listed within 10 social/entertainment categories for only $7.99 annually, is the epitome of socializing. Organizers that are called Master Minglers plan the events from a list of categories the members have pre-selected and invitations for all events go to members whose race, religion, age, gender, distance limits, and social interest, align with the invitation. An example would be a 25-year-old woman who plans an event called a TV Watch Party. She invites a maximum of fifteen women, 20-40 years old to a TV Watch Party in her home to watch American Idol. The fee to attend is $5 and includes popcorn, snacks, beer, and wine. She lists her address, date, time, and parking instructions. The invitation is sent only to those who match the prerequisites and live within the members designated distance limits. Members RSVP. The options are endless. How about a 55-year-old Master Mingler who plans a Mystery Bus Trip for up to 45 members, male & female ages 45-65. Four hours of fun and surprises. Cost: $20, includes lunch, snacks and bus expense. Or, how about a Latino guy, age 40, invites male Latinos, aged 30-50 to a softball game on a Saturday morning. BYOB. The secret sauce to this business model is that the members, who pay $7.99 annually, also organize the events (Master Minglers) so there could be thousands of events going on every week without any cost to the company. There’s no shortage of organizers. They may be professional event planners, members with “organizing” in their DNA, members who want a specific event to attend so they plan it, and a member can markup tickets, food and drink to make the event a nice part-time business. Members also benefit from a partnership arrangement with a national provider of discounts to major attractions, Vegas & Broadway shows, movie tickets, hotels, travel, dining, sporting events - and a lot more. This socializing app is appealing to all generations for five reasons: possibility of finding romance, make new friends, expand one’s social life, make money, just have fun.
