The customer gets discounts when and how the retailer choses. Just like when the yogurt shop offers the free yogurt after 7 purchases or when a store offers a discount on older merchandize. The discount is offset by the income the retailer gets from the shoppers shopping else where and increase in volume. I spoke to a lock smith who spends $20,000 a year on an ad in the yellow pages. Small businesses spend money on marketing all the time and FlexKom is just another way to market their business. The cost of the marketing is in the form of discounts.

My town is made up of about 70% chain stores like Marks & Spencer, Next, Boots, Primark etc etc. These multi national stores WILL NOT sign up to Flexkom.
Another 20% are banks/charity shops/estate agents. The remaining 10% are small, specialist independant stores like picture framers/gift shops/niche fashion stores, a sandwich store. Why would they all join this scheme? They are basically handing over there profits to Flexkom for the priviledge of swapping discounts with each other?
Where does this blogger live? Is he trying to say there are no small businesses? This guy has no idea how FlexKom works, handing over profits, ridiculous statement. It's what VISA and Master Card did. They came in and offer nothing for their service. And businesses are handing over profits to them that is true.

Again this guy has no idea how FlexKom works

It would if it in fact did come from NEW people joining but it doesn't it comes from sales happening in stores.

The money from the sale of the Franchise never reaches the customers. The money from the sale of merchandize if circulated and the increased is a result of marketing and bringing more customers to the FlexKom retailers. But it is to hard for this blogger to understand because he doesn't understand the power of technology and the power of smart phones and apps. Some money will come from Google losing business to flexkom. pay per click for instance is making Google billions. Some of that money will be spent with us instead. Flyers and news paper ads some of that will be spent with us. SEO marketing. Some of that money will flow over to FlexKom.

Money from the bigger chain stores. As FlexKom can help the smaller retailer take back some business from the larger stores. The larger stores and e-commerce has taken a lot of business from the smaller retailer. FlexKom is a system that can help the smaller stores get some business back.
