Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started Support Policies Terms & Conditions Q. How does Ozone work?A. Unlike one-to-one Ozone, in the Ozone Rewards network, members earn credits or "trade dollars" that are put into their "Ozone Rewards Account" and can be spent on anything within the Ozone Rewards Marketplace. In one-to-one Ozone, your network is limited to people you already know. We want to help you expand your current network, and we've done all the work for you by teaming up with a Global Alliance of business owners who love to trade! The transactions are simple, and the possibilities are endless! Take, for example, a painter who trades $1,000 worth of painting services to a restaurant through Ozone Rewards. This painter can now buy up to $1,000 worth of products or services from any of the other members in the network. She could also choose to accumulate more trade dollars to make one larger purchase in the future. The more she trades with other members, the bigger her network becomes, and network marketing is a powerful business tool. Let us help you grow your business with the Ozone Rewards Network! Q. Who can Ozone?A. Any business or sole trader that can offer a product or perform a service can apply for membership with Ozone. You must be fair and equitable in your dealings with other Ozone members. Q. What does it cost to get started?A.
Q. When are the transaction fees processed?A. Transaction statements are emailed the following month. Transaction fees are processed between the 10th and 20th of each month. Q. Why would I want to accept Trade dollars instead of cash?A. You're not accepting Ozone dollars instead of cash. You're receiving new customers in addition to your cash customers. If you have idle time in your week or your shelves are overstocked, why not accept Ozone dollars? You can spend the new found revenue to offset business expenses, pay employee incentives, or enhance your quality of life. And quite often, trade clients will refer their cash paying friends and family when they enjoy the great service you provide them. Q. How is Ozone Rewards better?A.
Q. Why should I pay cash for my products or services and sell it for trade dollars?A. If you own a retail store and you have a product sitting on your shelves, why not get full value for it by listing it on Ozone Rewards for Ozone Currency? If you're in a service industry and have empty appointments, you can't sell today's empty time tomorrow, so post it for trade and bring in new business that generates revenue in your Ozone Rewards account. If your restaurant has empty tables, your hotel has empty rooms, or your radio stations have empty time, don't let it go to waste! Remember, when customers are coming through your doors, they always bring more customers! Q. Can I pay my rent and electric bill with Ozone?A. No. But you CAN save cash by trading for things that you would normally pay cash for, and use that money toward your rent and electric bill. Perhaps you can use your trade dollars to design a new website that attracts more cash customers. You can even use Ozone for business coaching that will make your business more profitable. Profit means more cash and cash pays your rent... so really, the answer is YES! Q. How should I price my product or service?A. We are all about you getting full value for your products and services. The price you quote to Ozone members is the same price you would quote to a cash paying client. Ozone is simply another method of payment, just like cash or a credit card. Remember that business owners are educated shoppers and price gouging is frowned upon. Q. What if I need to make a purchase before I have earned enough Ozone dollars?A. Your account starts with a $5000 Ozone credit line. Just like a bank, we encourage businesses to apply for a Ozone line of credit. You can qualify by posting products for trade in the same amount that you would like in credit. Once you are approved, you can use your credit immediately. Q. Do I have to pay income taxes on the sales I make with Ozone?A. If you receive too much additional business and can't keep up, Ozone will work to find additional businesses with the same product or service, so that the demand is spread out. Q. Does Ozone Rewards provide support?A. Yes. You can call 0800 469 663 to get account information and process transactions. There is also a member forum where you can ask questions and get answers. You can always call our office directly or send us an email your with your questions too. We'd love to hear from you! Q. Can I sell an item for part cash, part Ozone?A. The short answer is YES, the minimum amount of Ozone Trade needs to be 50%. Q. Who pays for shipping?A. This is between the seller and the buyer. |
