Differentiation & innovation points
ObjectivesPlantobuy.com is a social commerce service and more; much more.
(a) The ASK.YOUR.NETWORKTM concept
A powerful social utility enabling consumers to gather opinions, comments & ideas from people they know and
trust. With a click of a button, a user can ask (a) Facebook users (b) Selected Facebook friends (c) Twitter
followers (d) specific friends via e-mail or any combination of the above. The process is easy and fun, resulting in
easy-to-read purchasing hints, statistics, recommendations & trends.
(b) Personalized OFFERS
In absolute contrast with the *deal* range of services, plantobuy.com does not reproduce junk offers. We believe
in personalization and intelligent content delivery. Plantobuy.com enables highly targeted/ personalized offers on
exactly what you need, when you need it and with full anonymity. Our users will be able to select the offers they
find interesting and unveil personal data only to the retailers they select.
(c) WIDE RANGE of products/ services
Plantobuy.com enables registration and administration of virtually any buying plan across a large number of
heterogeneous categories (more than 200). In practice this means that consumers can do actual purchasing
planning & budgeting for all personal, family and small business related expenses. Plantobuy.com also acts as a
management tool for scheduling & administering spending.
(d) RICH, INTERACTIVE ADS
Users get access to an ‘endless’ feed of rich video content, including ads, all highly-related with the actual/
selected plan. Plantobuy.com redefines the advertising model known so far: users are being served with highly-
related ads, they can watch only those of interest, and they can submit feedback to the advertiser! Anonymously!

Expansion planning
ObjectivesWe are in search of funding in order to execute our aggressive marketing plan,
proceed with further product development, and quickly expand across Europe.
More specifically, funding is required in order to:
(a) Proceed with further PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Plantobuy already incorporates a range of innovation points regarding prices, social advice, ads
and personalized offers but there are more to introduce: we do have a large queue of additional
functions/ packages/ applications across a number of devices which will keep us way ahead of
any competition. Parallel development is required and thus we seek funds for outstanding
scientific/ engineering personnel.
(b) Expand across Europe, gradually become a GLOBAL SERVICE
We support this scenario by design – our IT architecture and expensive choices made, ensure we
can easily scale to support exponential user-base growth. Scalable software and intelligent
processes are already there – expansion is only a matter of hardware and human resources.
(c) Support MARKETING & ADVERTISEMENT PLANS
Advertising in both online & traditional media is essential. Plantobuy.com targets an
heterogeneous user-base which can be communicated more effectively using combination of
media platforms.
