Word of Mouth: still the best publicity out there

Over 475 000 customers (list to back it up) without ever having spent a single dollar in advertizing

Our loyalty program, the result of a consumer market research done back in 2005, has led us to gather and maintain a membership of over 475 000 members simply by listening by way of our courtesy line available 24 hours a day.

We made sure to carefully include what they asked us for:

• Privileges and cash rebates rather than points (rebates coming from what our merchants are saving on their advertizing costs). To see one of the tools that are put at your disposal to get yourself known by our members, visit the Participating Merchants section on our Web site.

• An involvement within their communities by supporting their nonprofits organizations related to health care, education, and children.

• An emergency service available 24 hours a day, unique in North America, giving them safety and a peace of mind, and all this on a global scale.

• A list, updated every 2 months, of the participating merchants in their area, as well as a reminder of the privileges they get out of their Avantage Maximum card, is sent to all of our members by regular mail or e-mail.

• Finally, a unique residential protection program against burglary will be offered to all members.

It’s all free!

The Avantage Maximum concept, exclusively developed for small and medium businesses, allows our merchants (over 1600) to:

• Increase and retain the clientele that we have allocated them, with the help of the membership cards issued with the name and telephone number of their business.

• Take advantage of the customer base of our participating merchants.

• Promote their business on a permanent basis (see the Promotions section).

• Be involved in their community.

• Have the opportunity to display their job openings free of charge in the new section of our Web site: Community Services.

• Have access to our graphics designers and marketing and promotions specialists.

Meet one of our specialists so he/she can develop a marketing plan with you that is adapted to your business in order to replace your advertizing costs with new customers. Free consultation.

Conditions to take advantage of the program

1. You must have been the owner of the business for over 2 years or be referred by another participating merchant.


2. You must not have ever been convicted following a complaint made with any official or professional organization during the past 5 years.
