Let me walk you through one Eveoy customer, end to end. Her name is real. We won't use it. Let's call her Maria. Maria lives in Santa Monica, CA. She signed up for Eveoy six months ago, after a friend told her about it. She made a profile. She told us where she lives, what she likes, what kinds of stores she'd want to visit. A few weeks later, a business we'd never worked with posted an order in our app. They wanted 40 real customers (women, 25 to 45, who lived near their Santa Monica flagship) to visit the store, stay 10+ minutes, browse the new spring collection, buy something they liked, and take photos. Our system matched 47 women to that order. Maria was one of them. She tapped "yes" in the app. We sent her the store's instructions: where to go, when to go, what to look for. Tuesday afternoon, Maria drove to the store. Our app confirmed she was physically there (GPS checked). She walked in. She browsed for 22 minutes. She tried on a sweater. She bought it. She took two photos: one of the store, one of her with the sweater. She left. Our system pinged the business: Maria visited. Here are her photos. Here is the time stamp. Here is how long she stayed. Here is the purchase. The business paid $24.99, plus the sweater at cost. The sweater money rang right back through the store's own register. Maria got paid for her time. The business got a real customer, a real sale on its own register, and two real photos it now owns forever. That's the whole transaction. If Maria hadn't shown up (if her car had broken down, if she'd gotten sick, if she'd forgotten), the business would have been refunded automatically. We don't bill for no shows. Ever. You'll notice what's not in this story: There's no ad. There's no click. There's no influencer. There's no agency. There's no report to sit through. There's no follow up meeting to "look at the data." There's a customer. There's a sale. There's proof. And there's a refund if she doesn't show. That's it. That's the platform. We've done this over 230,000 times. Same mechanics. Different businesses. Different shoppers. Different stores. Every time, the business gets the customer, the sale, and the proof, or a refund. That's verified foot traffic. It's not a number on a dashboard. It's a transaction. Brad Co Founder and CEO, Eveoy
