.

But we all have health-related questions

And the process of easily finding trustworthy answers is fragmented

Friends/Family Today, Melissa goes one of two ways for answers Google

Millions of people have similar health interests and challenges

and the majority search the web to find health information and to purchase products
80% of internet users search for health-related information* 9% of Amazon.com sales come from Health, Wellness, Beauty - 3rd most demanding line of business on Amazon (Internetretailer.com)

*Pew Internet and American Life Project - 02.24.12

In the future, Melissa will go to

Her trusted hub for virtual health content, where Google and her friends/family will be combined.

The Health & Wellness Hub

A community where you can discover, curate, and share health media with your favorite people and brands.

The first of its vertical

Specialized Content

The power of community & relevant health/wellness content

High Social Engagement

Business Model
Health & Wellness Businesses pay subscription fee to have their own Profile Page
Database directory for all Blumers to easily find new service providers that their friends/family use

Example Acupuncturist, Allie Friedman, pays Blume $50 a month to promote her business: show health video clips/ share health content, include flash sale promotions

Rev Share Model

Example: Blumer sees an image he/she wants to purchase, he click on the image and it leads him/her to the marketplace to purchase and Blume takes a cut of that transaction

Business Model, Contd

Blumers Cost to Acquire a Blumer (CAC) Businesses Cost to Acquire a Business Owner (CAC)

$195,000/50,000 Blumers
= $3.90/Blumer Lifetime Value of Blumer(LTV) $10 * 3 months * 2 years = $80

$195,000/500 Business Owners

= $390/Business Owner Lifetime Value of Business Owner (LTV) $50 * 12 months * 2 years = $1,200

CAC is always < LTV
