Local businesses are struggling to compete with large retailers and e-commerce giants. These local shops rarely have the resources needed to stay in the game. An innovative solution is therefore required to allow them to maintain a competitive edge.

FlipNpik is the first Collaborative Social Media tailored for local businesses.
It is operating in an Ecosystem based on the Blockchain technology, in which the value generated is distributed in an equitable and decentralized manner among all active collaborators. The primary mission is to contribute to the improvement of the local economy and to promote the circuits of local and responsible consumption.

The FlipNpik Platform
The FlipNpik platform offers businesses enhanced visibility generated by the participation of their community. The participatory model gives users-collaborators the opportunity to get rewards or remunerations for their actions.

Value Creation
Users-collaborators contribute to the value creation by enhancing businesses visibility through different actions, by adding new businesses on the app or by becoming an Ambassador Partner.

The FlipNpik token and the Flip Social
The FlipNpik (FNP) is a utility token, distributed and identified on the Stellar Platform. The Flip Social is a reward system dedicated to stimulate and retain the users of the Platform.

Sharing of the value
In return for their positive actions, users-collaborators receive Flip Social that they can use to benefit from instantaneous promotions, to discover and obtain products or simply to be entertained with the available games on the Platform. Ambassadors Partners receive a remuneration from their business when they actively contribute to increase the visibility of the business within the Ecosystem.

The FlipNpik token will be issued on the Stellar Blockchain.
It can be used by businesses to buy Premium services, users can deposit FNP to become an Ambassador partner and finally consumers will be able to use it on marketplaces. FlipNpik chose the Stellar platform for their scalable volume of transactions with minimum fees. Merchants will have a practical solution to promote their businesses and easily set up an online store at low cost. Thus, small businesses will have a new point of sale allowing them to reach new clients.
