Enter4Pets is a e-platform for socially aware and enlightened entrepreneurs and consumers who want to help abandoned animals and make the world more just, green and fun place. TERRITORY OF OPERATION
The whole world. HOW IT WORKS
Enter4Pets platform is envisioned as a socially aware e-trade with primary goal of helping the abandoned animals. Entrepreneurs from the whole world would have an opportun
ity to present and sell their products through the platform by creating their own web-shops, and in return they would pay a fee for every product they sold according to their liking or according to a predetermined percentage. Setting up of products onto the platform would be free, but each user would be required to collect a certain number of points. User would need 1 point in order to be able to set up 1 product on the platform for 1 month. The points would be collected by signing petitions and running other actions that lead to protecting animals (signing the petition = 1 point, setting up petition = 10 points, etc.) If the user doesn’t want to sign any petition he would be obliged to pay alternatively few cents. Consumers would also have an opportunity to earn points and they could spent it by being allowed a certain percentage of decrease in prices or discounts on a one-time basis. The products that would be selling through the platform would underwent the evaluation based on the following criteria: 1. how they treat environment; 3. how they treat consumers; 4. how they treat employees; 5. certificates and marks of quality. Consumers would also have an opportunity for evaluation and they would rate communication with the seller, delivery and quality of the products. The sellers who collected the greatest number of points would be awarded with a free advertising and interview. The money from the fees would be directed to:
1. building the animal shelters according to the most up to date standards. This building would be at first directed mostly to Croatia, and after that, to other countries , particularly to countries of middle, eastern and south-east Europe where the problem of abandoned animals is the most present. For designing the asylum a tender would be announced home and abroad in order to provide as much as possible quality solutions.
2. buying the food, equipment and vaccines for abandoned animals;
3. campaigns toward protection and decreasing of quantity of abandoned animals;
4. helping business projects including protection and help of animals. ADDITIONAL POSSIBILITIES
