Business model
Membership groups or businesses with existing customers use BUMP’s membership platform to enhance revenue from their customers and to understand and act on a wealth of existing data associated with their members.
The BUMP system integrates seamlessly into any existing Website, providing client-branded access to a proprietary management tool offering their members exclusive access to high value brands and services at a discount.
Organizations can also use BUMP’s proprietary registration engine to create events and safely process transactions for subscriptions, anniversaries, billing, and renewals.
BUMP Network also operates its own business-to-consumer (B2C) paid membership program called “BUMP Advantage.” Members of the BUMP Advantage program are provided with extensive automotive-based benefits often found with groups such as the Auto Club (AAA) and other similar affinity programs.
It is also the first network to enable members to securely communicate with one another through license plates and smartphone devices via our consumer-facing Website, BUMP.com. Users can “claim” their license plate and a basic membership at BUMP.com for free, with the opportunity to upgrade to BUMP Advantage to access twice the benefits of, for example, AAA at half the cost.
