AdoMado as they call it, is India’s first digital loyalty program.

Similar to any other loyalty program, people earn credits for a predefined set of action points and then these credit points can be redeemed for rewards and benefits.

Specifically the rewards and benefits include:

• Full 160 Character SMSes
  • They allow you to send full 160 character SMS for free. Apparently lot many user sites also do the same but either follow your SMS by another Ad SMS or add a footer advertisement to your message, but AdoMado allows you to send complete 160 character SMS ‘with no Ads’

• Offers and Discount Vouchers
  • There are quite a few exciting offers available online for people to redeem their credits points i.e.:
  • Rs. 500 Gift Voucher from HomeShop 18
  • Rs. 200 Gift Voucher from Logitech
  • Rs. 200 Gift Voucher again from HomeShop 18
• Donate to Charity
  • Thats the noble part, if any of the members are not that keen on the discount vouchers or free SMSes, AdoMado gives them an opportunity to donate their credits points to a social cause. For e.g.
  • You can simply send a kid to school by browsing the internet for 3 hours a day for an year.
  • Or plant a tree by sending few hundred invites for the site to your friends

Pretty soon even more causes and offers will be coming up…!!

Members can earn AdoMado credits by simply doing the following:

• Installing and Activating AdoMado Plugin
• Sending Invites and Referring Friends
• Connecting to Facebook and Twitter Accounts

I believe it is an amazing concept and every one should be a part of it, if not for the benefits, then atleast for donating to the noble causes.
