    Businesses: How to Advertise

    Businesses create their pay-for-results ad with no cost up front. Ads are invoiced only after a customer claims cash back, and the business has verified his or her purchase or presence (a successful result). For $1 customer cash back, you'll pay $4. High-value transaction businesses may choose to offer larger rewards to attract more customers. Business with low-value transactions may choose to offer $.25, $.50, or $.75 cash back, with correspondingly smaller service fees. This advertising supports the promotional elements of the SHOPtheTRAIL campaign (events, billboards, flyers, and stories). Learn more now.
