FAVER

People don’t have the time or money for “trial-and-error”consumerism. We all waste hours doing online research in an effort to help us make "the right" choice around how we spend our money and our time on products or experiences. This process is not only time consuming but, worst of all, online reviews are often fake and can’t be trusted. Consumers prefer trusted recommendations from verifiable people in their personal network, who they know they can trust, and who have already taken the risk of trying something new. There isn’t a technology for easily getting, giving, managing and organizing recommendations from trusted friends for personal interests.

FAVER is a free app to help you give, get and organize word-of-mouth recommendations from your trusted friends, to help you quickly and easily find your next favorite book, movie, tv show, travel destination, video game, restaurant - anything. FAVER helps you avoid buyer’s remorse and enables you to quickly find the best of everything, based on the experience of the friends you trust who share your interests, who have already “been there, done that.” FAVER does this by helping you organize your network into trusted “clubs”, based on your interests, and enabling you to easily obtain a recommendation from a trusted source whenever you're in the market for a new "thing".

From there, you can organize these curated recommendations into personalized "Bucket Lists" for planning and future reference.

Surprisingly, studies show that less than 10% of word-of-mouth recommendations take place online; that means we receive over 90% of our most valued consumer advice offline. Why is that? The answer is that these recommendations tend to take place during every day, face-to-face conversations as we talk with our real-life friends about positive experiences we've recently had. We're naturally inclined to share cool things with the people we care about.

The problem is, most of these face-to-face recommendations become lost to our feeble human memory. FAVER inserts itself as the platform for capturing that valuable recommendation in real-time so you can call upon it when you're ready to: read your next book, watch your next show or plan your next travel destination. Especially now, as we find ourselves with less face-to-face time than ever before, FAVER allows users to capture valuable recommendations when wanted and needed. 

FAVER is free to users because revenues are generated from affiliate marketing relationships and personalized, user-welcome, ads which are tailored to users’ personal interests and offerings they actually care about, validated by their trusted friends.

Life is short. FAVER empowers consumers to maximize precious time and money and live life better.
