Access · Sponsorship · Shared growth

Fund the work. Own the result.

Walk the Beat is the founding sponsor and working template for this model. It backs the mission; RezConnect.store pulls the platform, people and delivery together. Now we’re inviting more organizations to grow with us.

Nobody has to take on more work. Share the good news, support the mission and be part of something good.

The starting point

Access that already pays forward.

The $97 monthly plan is the working foundation: access to the RezConnect platform, a local student affiliate earning alongside the business, and a nonprofit chosen by that student receiving support.

Professional Access
$97/month

One monthly payment. Three direct outcomes.

Here is where the $97 goes each month:

$40Student affiliate
$7Student-chosen nonprofit
$50RezConnect

Paid monthly while the account remains active.

The founding sponsor model

Walk the Beat showed how it works.

A sponsor can support the mission and get meaningful work done without taking on the work itself. Walk the Beat is the founding sponsor of this approach. RezConnect.store assembles the platform, specialists and delivery so each organization can contribute its piece and keep growing.

01

Define the outcome

The sponsor names the mission, audience and result it wants to move forward.

02

Fund the scope

The right tier supports both community impact and an agreed scope of work.

03

Let RezConnect deliver

RezConnect.store coordinates the system, specialists and execution. The organization owns the result.

We invest in each other. We stay in growth mode. Everyone contributes—nobody has to carry the whole load.

A separate advertising offering

Community Screens

Local sponsors make a shared digital-display network possible. Their messages get seen in the places people already gather, while RezConnect.store creates the artwork, organizes the messaging and manages delivery from the enterprise level.

Digital display sponsorship

$500per year · per screen network

An approved advertisement on the Community Screens network.

One local buy-in. Professionally managed from end to end.

Each participating venue gets its screens and its own access. Sponsors provide the goal, offer or announcement; RezConnect.store handles the creative and the network.

  • 01We create the artwork and message so the sponsor’s ad is clear, consistent and screen-ready.
  • 02We schedule, control and manage approved content across the selected screen network from one enterprise system.
  • 03Venue access stays local, while broader community messages move through a simple approval process before they run.

Example: an organization can submit its Christmas poster for approval and, once approved, have it scheduled across all 38 screens in 15 participating venues.

Annual access · People development · Delivered work

Three ways to invest deeper.

Beyond Community Screens, organizations can join the full program, help develop the people who make the work possible or fund a defined business build-out. Each level connects the investment to a practical outcome.

Full Program Annual
$997
One annual payment

The $97 monthly access foundation, paid once for the year—bringing the organization fully into the program and saving $167 over twelve monthly payments.

  • Professional access to the RezConnect.store platform and its full tool set
  • Student affiliate participation, onboarding and the pathway already built
  • A student-chosen nonprofit remains part of the pay-it-forward program
  • The same full-year access for $167 less than twelve monthly payments
  • Annual terms and payout details confirmed in writing before activation
Shared Impact Partner
$5,000
Develop people. Deliver the work.

The work has to get done, and the people who will carry it forward have to be developed. This level brings both together without putting another job on the sponsor’s plate.

  • Start with the outcome, the people involved and the practical work required to move it forward
  • Merchants choose their path: use the tools themselves or plug into the $97/month flow and let the full system work for them
  • RezConnect.store coordinates the platform, artwork, support and operations around the agreed outcome
  • Shared campaign planning, sponsor recognition and community marketing
  • A repeatable model built to grow with more sponsors and communities

Funding mechanics, deliverables, mission contribution, timeline and approvals are confirmed quietly in writing before launch. Investment supports growth but does not guarantee financial results.

The self-funding route

The Flow: How a Venue Becomes a $10,000 Sponsor Without Spending $10,000

The venue opens the door with 20 trusted names. RezConnect.store handles the selling and the full scope of work, turning those existing relationships into a $10,000 Founding Partner sponsorship.

  1. 01

    Give us 20 names

    The venue gives us 20 community champions—best customers and supporters who want their name on the screens and want to back the community.

  2. 02

    We sell the sponsorships

    We offer each community champion a $500/year Community Screens sponsorship, placing their name in advertising on the screens.

  3. 03

    20 × $500 = $10,000

    The community champions collectively fund the full sponsorship.

  4. 04

    The venue gets the full scope

    The venue is recognized as a $10,000 Founding Partner. We do the screens, artwork, platform, automation, marketing and scope of work.

  5. 05

    The venue shares in the raise

    All the venue had to do was provide 20 names—and it also receives its share of the money raised.

The venue spends $0 on the sponsorship. Its relationships fund the $10,000 investment, and RezConnect.store does the work.

After the $500 buy-in

The Champion’s Journey

Community Screens lets each community champion see the system working first. From there, the relationship can grow with the champion’s real needs.

  1. 01They begin with the $500/year Community Screens sponsorship and get their name into the local advertising network.
  2. 02They invest $997 annually for full access to the platform, supporting themselves as we demonstrate its value.
  3. 03When they have real needs, they can step up to advanced SaaS solutions at $497/month, including voice AI with Angie.
  4. 04Voice usage is $0.20 per minute, and they only pay for the minutes Angie actually talks.

A simple cost comparison

The Angie Math

$120/day

A human at $15/hour for an eight-hour day costs $120 whether the phone rings or not.

$12 for one talk-hour

Angie costs $0.20 per minute and only charges for the minutes she actually talks. One hour of talking across the whole day is $12.

She sounds great, answers questions clearly, never misses a call and keeps everything organized.

A warmer front door

The Welcome Box — Where Champions Come From.

Pulling a door handle as a salesperson is one of the hardest, bravest things in local business. These are people who may have practiced their pitch for three months and walked in anyway.

The Welcome Box honors that courage. It replaces the dreaded cold drop-in with a polite system—turning the coldest moment in local business into the warmest.

At every participating venue

“We welcome your business card — drop it here.”

A physical box at the entrance. A QR code beside it. A better way to begin.

From a brave introduction to a community connection.

  1. 01A Growth Partner drops in a business card, scans the QR code and lands on the merchant’s digital welcome page built by RezConnect.store—the merchant’s online digital mailbox.
  2. 02The merchant posts exactly what it needs from anyone who wants to do business. There is no awkward confrontation, only a clear and respectful path forward.
  3. 03Each card becomes a lead in the merchant’s CRM, and Angie lets the merchant know when new introductions arrive: “You’ve got 3 new cards.”
  4. 04Every Growth Partner who drops a card can also become a prospect for a $500 Community Screens sponsorship—adding their name to the network and backing the community.

The Welcome Box is the top of the funnel. It feeds the 20 names, so the merchant does not have to come up with community champions—the box collects them.

The grassroots spirit

Every dollar counts. So does every voice.

No one has to fit a tier to take part. Give what you can, spread the word and help more people see the good already taking shape.

$5

If five dollars is what you have, give five.

A small out-of-pocket contribution still helps the program move forward.

$1

If one dollar is what you have, give one.

Grassroots programs grow because people choose to participate at every level.

PR

If you cannot give, share the news.

Be a PR person for something good. Tell a friend, introduce a sponsor or help the story reach the next community.

Bring the outcome

Let’s put the right scope around it.

Tell me what you want to accomplish, who you want to reach and what you want to support. RezConnect.store will organize the right package and delivery team—so your organization can grow without adding another job to its plate.
