What  is  Gaypon?  

Gaypon  is  website  that  offers  discounted  coupons,  gift  certificates  and  other  deals  for  local  and  nationwide  businesses  that  support  the  gay  community.  

 These  special  deals  are  not  strictly  targeted  to  the  lesbian,  gay,  or  bisexual  individuals,  but  rather  showcase  businesses  that  welcome  gay  clientele,  are  

proud  of  their  diverse  staff  &  may  sponsor  LGBT  events,  charities,  etc.  

How  does  it  work?  

A  user  subscribes  to  our  daily  email  at  DailyGaypon.com  and  starts  to  receive  emails  every  morning  about  our  deal  of  the  day  in  their  area.    If  the  person  likes  the  “Gaypon”  offer,  they  can  click  on  it  for  more  information  and  to  

make  a  purchase.    

Alternatively,  a  person  can  also  visit  the  website  directly  each  day  to  view  and/or  purchase  the  amazing  offers.    The  deals  will  also  be  posted  on  the  

Gaypon  Facebook  &  Twitter  pages  to  promote  the  deals  virally.    

How  do  you  use  it?  

After  the  purchase,  a  custom  certificate  is  delivered  via  email.  

 It  can  be  presented  via  mobile  device  or  

physically  by  printing  it.    

If  the  deal  is  for  an  online  merchant,  the  user  will  be  issued  a  unique  coupon  code  

to  use  at  checkout.  

Who’s  a  part  of  this?  

Gaypon  merchants  very  from  online,  national,  and  local  small  family  owned  businesses  that  want  to  be  a  part  of  this  revolutionary  new  way  to  do  business.    Gaypon  allows  people  to  try  new  things  and  discover  merchants  that  they  may  have  not  known  about.    All  while  saving  money  &  helping  the  gay  community.  

 Gaypon  donates  a  healthy  portion  of  our  proceeds  to  charities  and  organization  that  support  the  gay  community,  like  The  Trevor  Project  who  focuses  on  crisis  &  suicide  prevention  amongst  LGBTQ  youth,  and  Affirmations,  which  is  one  of  the  

largest  LGBT  community  centers  in  the  United  States.  

Why  Gaypon?  

Marketresearch.com  reports  that  in  2006,  the  buying  power  of  just  the  U.S.  lesbian  &  gay  community  was  approximately  $660  billion  and  is  expected  to  exceed  $835  billion  by  2011.    Headlines  later  claimed  “Gay  Buying  Power  to

community  from  $20  million  in  1994  to  $193.5  million  in  1999.
