FACT: In the already growing number of rehabs, living sober places, detox facilities and other Christian accommodations for living; women are the fastest growing number of a percentage of residence.

Our Product…
Women’s Christian Sober Home
“Life Changing Spiritual Experience”
… Practical Spirituality Offered with Hope, Love and Tolerance for the Addict, Victim and Volunteer in the midst of their behaviors. We, who have experienced a Transformation by Grace, offer a Fresh Start and a chance at a new life. Everyone who visits our web site or Home, can walk away with helpful information… Section I : Customers and Consumers
Our Womens House…
When selecting a Women’s House, many consider the services offered, the management personnel, the location and the quoted success rate of previous attendees… services offered usually mean cable and wi-fi.
While many homes offer an abundance of women’s meetings and various formats, it is not clear of the promise and the overall experience the soon to be resident will have… whereas what should be abundantly clear is the intention for the resident to enjoy, “ a spiritual experience “.
Section I : Customers and Consumers
Testimony (s). A feeling in the air. Daily Formats. The promise of What is to come, if they chose to believe… leaving troubles at the door– these are the moments where fresh hope is born. Begin anew.
Our Womens Christian Home___
In starting the next chapter of their lives, our resident can rely and depend on forming a “ Life Changing Spiritual Experience “.
Many attempts are made daily in this effort. Tirelessly and almost effortlessly, our residents encounter an attitude of love and happiness from individuals and groups designed to re-enforce this desire. Knowing that is the goal does not give the resident a feeling of relentless attack on them having to have this experience NOW. Nor does it imply they MUST feel this to have a life changing experience. Section I : Customers and Consumers
It is in the air at Our Womens Christian Home and almost as if that experience becomes sweetly whispered in ones ears when dreaming in a deep sleep.
Our Girls can rely on the freedom to simply be, while gaining self confidence to face their addictive behaviors, inner demons, past mistakes and previous let downs… they were living differently then.
Grace overcomes these things. First Grace is felt, and then Grace is practiced. Grace is learned, and then it is earned. Section I : Customers and Consumers

Discovering Previous Behaviors, Pathways to a new life…
When picking a home to try and get rid of addiction, many people do this from a web site.

We have some of the next generation of business tools to help us become socially relevant…. We will have multiple web sites with word search optimization and meta tags.

Section II : Product and Marketing Plan
Key Market Factors – USA
Ω Orange County, California has over a 1,000 meetings a week and is considered as one of the very best “ sober experience places “ throughout the country. Amoungst the famous meeting places worldwide, it offers a magical feeling mixed with practical solutions; albeit, in a place referred by many as paradise.
Ω There are court systems that operate under the assumption that a percentage of first or second time offenders ( drunk driving or drug possession charges for an individual ) can possibly find a solution to the first or second time offender before they brandish lifetime effects upon themselves... Has this shown any indication of the next 15 years – anticipating growth? We think so.
Ω There are 65 million Americans without a credit card. By 2015, $380 Billion additional dollars will be deposited annually in pre-paid cards in the USA with approximately ½ being attributed to government programs. Source: American Banker.

None of these offer a complete “ Spiritual Experience “ as their mantra, immediately followed by a list of daily events that cater to a new beginning... Most offer a spiritual life pathway with twelve step meetings format… We offer all three = Daily events, Spiritual Experience and Twelve Step.
We have more daily events and programs that are designed for a better impact to help women discover personal breakthroughs. Truly, having a Christ Centered ‘Ultimate Vital Spritual Experience‘ by and for the people who needed help together – anonymously. That is the accumulative movement. Join us. Already, the new insight of a Christian Based Sober Living Home offers an alternative to sober living homes; aided by our daily events. Our services we offer are easily comprised of multiple non profits, corporations and service providers. Our customers visit and promote us, while having a “ Everyone who visits can walk away with a life changing experience “ to go so far as even reducing their monthly out-go or get informed on how to do so.
Niche markets, such as Regional Area Schools and local economies are our first Consumer Segments. Our Movement is easy to identify from a marketing standpoint, due to the local and national economy. Joining many services that are offering help (both federally and privately funded), customers and consumers can enjoy finding the resources they need to their immediate situation. Resulting in fresh starts and hope. This creates a fast referral network and marketing campaign by areas identified in our first regional campaigns. Look for Niche “Regional” Consumer Segments Section II : Product and Marketing Plan

* Some Linkage with Local Markets & Merchants Section II : Products and Marketing Plan
“New Dog”
Our Womens Christian Home has become a modern version of an initial “Christian Sober Living” system. The method of changing their adoptive behavioral traits (of any Woman’s addictiveness) in their lives, into a renewed and rejuevenated new woman means having them been transformed by grace. Being forever changed into a fresh new woman (who is now a non addictive practicing woman) who is excited to begin her life anew. Almost certain, this is accomplished by having a spiritual experience… we maintain this by offering a way to give back to their local and respective communities. The needs of others is easily identified beforehand by a very simple, timeless practice of tweens, teens and college students being acutely aware of their friends and family’s household situation. They then refer people and visits to our home (s).
Ω Everyone who visits, walks away with valuable information or help. They also get local organization or help from local people who can understand their specific situation or needs. They also get other organizations or people who can offer help, at discounted prices (if necessary) to keep the cost of services (if necessary) affordable.
Ω We have a ‘coupon alert system’, ‘Fone Pay GPS’ and social media “liking” (also with Web sites visitation). Being bothered by others is not necessary. Our Alert and Loyalty Rewards System is from Phone to Phone Servicing and email chains. We offer Texting while Providing Smart Phone Integration Partners. We have many security measures in place and assistance to provide a hassle and worry free environment. Not everyone is savvy to cell phones and their means to provide savings for items like food or entertainment. We have partners to assist.
Section II : Product and Marketing Plan Who will be socially relevant tomorrow?
Summary
In summary, we have adopted many of the simplest forms of connecting many non profits to customers and consumers who need them. Included in the following sectional summary is a look at Orange County as a rental destination, getting sober destination, as well tools for managing a Womens Christian Home as a ‘ no cash on premises ‘ spiritual business entity.
We have identified many historical and modern marketing trends that are heavily necessary in today’s modern culture. Providing a solution for an already common existing behavioral trait ( it is as common as breathing ) for an obvious need in today’s economy. Our intention is to have our Women’s Christian Home and Sober Living Spiritual Experience completely State of the Art. *** Rivaling that of Malibu , Beverly Hills and Newport Beach. We will have banquets, spa treatments and star power too. One goal, is to have an exquisite, Hollywood-esque functional banquet complete with TV Personalities. Women empowering women by giving back.
Section II: Product and Marketing Plan
The go to market approach requires careful selection of partners, well defined partnership objectives and a legally binding agreement. A regional go to market approach will provide the necessary “cover” to test our home and make any necessary changes.
There is a limited window upon which to become a relevant partner or associate / affiliate in the marketplace. Perhaps as little as 3 months. It is going to require some capital investment (i.e. $30,000 which we have committed already) to launch Our House, Women’s Christian and Sober Living Spiritual Experience.
We Develop a “WE CARE – WE GIVE BACK” beatitude(s) while offering a life changing – spiritual experience for our ladies ( our customers and occupants ).
Offering the best alternatives such as:
Womens Workshops, Bible Studies, Yoga Classes, Ju-Jitsu, Twelve Step Meetings, Addiction Counseling and Esteem Building Sessions. Learn healthy lifestyles to create and achieve balance. . . including diet, meditation and exercise while having fun in a positive, tolerant and loving atmosphere.
Develop the practice of progress and non-victimization attitudes among friends and family (i.e. stored value in our services). Secondary school reach nationwide through friends and family with local merchants. Section II : Product and Marketing Plan
Focus on partnering with Schools, Colleges, Groups, Civic Organizations and Churches ( included in our daily events ). Our Women will learn the new and esteemable behaviors, habits and non addictive flow from their personal breakthroughs. Through this practice of progress and non-victimization attitudes, there will be a “change felt” among friends and family (i.e. stored value in our services).

Orange County is the 7th Priciest Rental Area…
Feeling the pinch? Local rent prices hit a record high
Mrs. Sanchez is stuck in the one-bedroom apartment she shares with her husband, even though the plumbing is old, the place has cockroaches and it’s poorly maintained. But the couple pays $1,200 a month for their Santa Ana unit, and that’s about as cheap as rent gets. “You go somewhere else, they charge $200 more,” said Sanchez, 50. Relief is not on the way. Last year, asking rents for large-complex apartments in Orange County jumped 4.8 percent, according to a report from RealFacts, an apartment tracking service. And with vacancy rates low (5.2 percent), rents are likely to go nowhere but up. Orange County apartment landlords were asking an average of $1,781 a month for vacant units in large apartment complexes in the fourth quarter, up $81 from a year ago to an all-time high, according to RealFacts. “Asking” rent is the amount landlords were seeking for vacant units last quarter, not the amount existing tenants were paying. The actual, or effective, rent averaged $1,648 a month, up $50 or 3.1 percent, according to a separate report last week by real estate data firm Reis. “Effective” rent is the amount landlords collected after subtracting concessions such as move-in discounts. Those numbers made Orange County the nation’s seventh priciest rental market, ranking behind New York, San Francisco, Boston, Fairfield County, Conn., San Jose and Long Island. Nationally, the average rent is $1,124 a month, Reis reported. Source: Orange County Register

NFC for Merchants
Near Field Communicators (NFC). Example of our method applying to Servicers or Businesses involved in providing their services (in order for our customers to get their needs met).
A brief look back at a relevant topic to first illustrate safeguarding against today’s modern computer hackers…
I also told the truth to the Southern California Gas Company in 1996, where I could have just lied and had earned the bid for over 400,000 customers at a $7,500 profit upfront, and monthly residual profit of $5,000 per month. While estimating growth of 3% per quarter. Upgrades by third quarter estimated additional profit… the question back then was, “ so we would not control the data of our utility bill payers if you build us a system for periodic billing ? “ Meaning, if someone paid their gas bill over their phone, whoever transacts those funds, they would have knowledge of their purchasing history moving forward. I right away and unreservedly said, “ yes, that is correct ”… Unless we build a system or method to protect that information. The big banks back then seemed to be a suitable fit. Of course, the Southern California Gas Company could bank with whoever they wanted with my system. Today there does exist that type of data protection. I still would have answered that question the same. Who in their right mind wouldn’t? Especially after Southern California Edison paid a third party company a $100,000 for system similar to mine… it was a non-banking entity… they must have had a convincing data protection program to validate the cost… my system was $15,000, which cost me $7,500 to provide as a viable means for periodic billing and automation of revenue. It was considered green, or helping the environment then too, because there would be less mail or paper billing being generated. It also meant less jobs as well. It was a different time, economy.

What is a Payment Service Provider? ***WHY?
Ω A PSP offers merchants online services for accepting electronic payments by a
variety of payment methods including credit card, bank-based payments such
as direct debit, bank transfer and real-time bank transfer based on online
banking. WHY? We have Security Measures in place by not accepting cash at the door.
Ω Some PSP’s provide unique services to process other next generation methods
(Payment Systems) including cash payments, wallets such as PayPal, prepaid
cards or vouchers and even paper or e-check processing. WHY? No Cash at home (s).
Ω Typically, a PSP can connect to multiple acquiring banks, card, and payment
networks. Some PSP’s will fully manage the technical connections,
relationships with the external network and bank accounts. WHY? No Cash at home (s).
Ω A full service PSP can offer risk management services for card & bank based
payments, transaction payment matching, reporting, fund remittance & fraud protection in addition to multi-currency functionality and services. WHY? No Cash at home (s).
Ω PSP fees are typically levied in one of two ways: as a percentage of each
transaction or a low fixed cost per transaction. WHY? No Cash at home (s).

Is FonePays a PSP?
Ω Yes it was and could be still (at least legally). We found having multiple service providers would favor marketplace positioning and branding. Giving our customers, consumers and subscribers multiple choices; while instilling a vote of confidence so they can use who they trust. Fone Pay, Inc. P2P offers a lower cost solution to both the consumer and the merchant, providing a more favorable revenue sharing model than just Banks or credit/debit cards.
Ω Fone Pay, Inc. offers today some (but not all; we offer more of a modern platform) of the services of a traditional PSP to gain market experience , early customers and business partners.
Ω Fone Pay, Inc. objective is to evolve into a service provider platform for branded P2P service offerings in regional makets.
Ω When the investment is secured, Fone Pay, Inc. will become a Mobile Commerce Service Provider (MCSP) for regional markets.
Ω The differentiation between being simply a PSP and a MCSP is significant. PSP’s focus just on payments, MCSP’s enable and support multiple mobile transactions with multiple payment and promotional redemption options.
Section II : Product and Marketing Plan
What does an MCSP offer?
Ω A mobile commerce service creation and deployment platform which is easily customized to meet the promotional and transactional needs of its business partners.
Ω A subscriber management and accounting mechanism utilized to support branded real-time promotional offers and the associated funds transfer (payment) at a fraction of the cost of conventional electronic payment systems. This could be a hassle or worry free thing.

Market Summary and Return On Investment Plan
Ω We have $30,000.00 in U.S. funds committed already and have a few of the necessary items or property needed to open doors for our Womens Christian Home. Profitability is necessary but not the initial goal. We set our ‘sites’ on growth first, then profit, then the next stage (new market OR a four-plex apartment community to provide more customers AND be accredited where Insurance monies can be accepted). We can increase our revenue and profits at year two.
Ω It’s a series of regional victories leading to “ Opening our doors “ and ultimately, if we have performed well, then the strong likelihood exists that we will have not only a full house of occupants or customers; albeit, a waiting list.
Ω We set our ‘sites’ on growth first, then profit, then the next stage (A DETOX facility in a four-plex apartment community to provide more customers AND be accredited where Insurance monies can be accepted).
Ω Year Two or Year Three, The Gross Monthly Revenue can be $165,000 / month or $ 1,980,000 Annually.
Ω Market factors show that current homes operating in the capacity of a sober living home
( for women ) or a Christian home charge $700 to $1,000 per month per occupant or customer. They currently have a few modern practices that determine the amount of monthly charges… Location and modern furnishings as well as how many occupants or customers are in each room are the primary factors for monthly charges.
Ω What puts us apart is we have MANY other benefits to our customers... they benefit by the scheduling of many activities that are not only fun, they are rewarding and inspiring activities currently not offered elsewhere as a daily occurance. We do. Fundamentally our customers will choose to be our customers for the money factor, but also the “ WOW “ factor. It also is not known that occupants or customers receive a banquet or a non-accredited graduation ceremony at this level of a home. Where insurance is accepted at other places such as rehab (where costs can be $10,000 per month) it is known there are ceremonial activities. Not for the money they could spend with us.
Ω It’s a series of differences that sets us apart from other choices customers or occupants have, while we also have the desired location many seek… The magic that is widely known is the experience many have found here in Coastal Orange County… by the quality of spiritual people and meetings that are here. It is paradise here and it is still considered as a best sobriety destination ( close to the beach in Orange County ). We also have more meetings available here than other destinations. We have beautiful churches and many women pastors who give back to the communities that help us provide the vital spiritual experience many need. Identified as women looking for a vital spiritual experience are women who: (A) are needing to get or keep sober, (B) start anew from divorce or battering as well as (C) sufferers from a difficult stress or trauma.
Ω Is there a definitive number of Women in Sobriety on the rise? Look at this: a pill like Oxycontin can cost upwards of $100 per pill. Rusty Payne of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration said, “Heroin is a growing epidemic. People need to wake up and see what’s going on. People who would never be associated with a needle are now injecting Heroin. Heroin touches every segment of society.” Payne is correct, the disease of addiction does not discriminate.
Hospital officials have reported that overdose and emergency room visits have increased with thousands of people dying from using the drug. According to the DEA more than 3,000 people across the United States have died from Heroin overdose, a 45% increase since 2006.
According to the government’s most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health, from 2007 to 2012 the number of Americans using Heroin has doubled from 373,000 people to 669,000, a 100 percent increase.

Ω Is there a definitive number of Women in NEED OF Sobriety? Look at this from Nov /2012: “More California drivers tested positive for drugs – especially marijuana – than for alcohol during a first-of-its-kind roadside survey that safety officials say points to a serious and growing threat. One in every seven drivers checked on a weekend night this summer had illegal or prescription drugs in their system, which could make them dangerous behind the wheel, according to the survey released this week….” …” The survey-takers randomly stopped drivers at nine sites around California, including one in Anaheim. But Cochran said the survey did not break down numbers by city or county. Orange County Sheriff's Department Deputy Wayne Howard has seen the effects of drugged driving in the crashes he investigates for the traffic bureau in Aliso Viejo. The problem, he said, has only worsened in recent years, especially with prescription pain and anxiety medications.” Source, The Orange County Register, http://www.ocregister.com/articles/driving-378319-drivers-survey.html
Ω Having options available for the existing women who already live in an existing Womens Sober Living or Womens Christian Home, may mean they choose to spend their dollars with us / their time with us, due to Our House being a better suit for their budget.
I.E. If the Price for existing other homes remains to be $1,000 - $1,500 / month and it is
Currently not offering “ Daily Events “ nor a “ Banquet “ for a ‘ Graduating Class ‘ …
Wouldn’t they consider switching to Our House? It may appear cheaper for them.
It may appear “ More Appealing “ both financially and spiritually.
Section II : Product and Marketing Plan
Ω We have “ Costs “ for $1,000 a month for the first 5 months, then growing to a $2,000 a month for the next 5 months. Having more customers or occupants after 5 months assures us the additional expenses. Day Spa Treatments, Gym Memberships, Yoga on the Beach, Knotts Berry Farms, Meditations, Meetings, Bible or Christian Studies, Hair and Nail or Pedicures, Salon Experiences, Women’s Self Defense Classes, Dinner (s), Museums, Movies, Nature Visits, Music Venues and other esteemable acts such as helping others and donating time.
Ω Having many options available, if we have many experts who can donate their time and attention to our women customers, then the expenses can meet our demands.
Ω Our Banquet is comprised of a Catered Dinner Event with Women Empowerment Speakers. We also would have different Vendors who would provide additional funds to add to the event because they would pay to be there. In order to offer the attendees, friends and family members who are present, the ability to get quality items such as Clothing, Makeup, Perfumes, Purses, Leather Bags and various spiritual items and offerings.
Ω The Banquet Budget is $2,500 for each. The goal is to have two in the first year, although the second may push to the first quarter of year two. Vendor participation may help by $250 each as space rent, with their goal in mind to earn monies from those attending. This works well in the form of obvious gifts – from attendees to other attendees or family and friends of the graduating “class”. We could have five such vendors, raising $1,250 also.
Ω We have an expense in mind as $3,750 per month for our house location. This is to include utilities and rent. We would have utilities met estimating $750, while having the Investor or Grant Funds paying $3,000 / month. Section II : Product and Marketing Plan
Ω It is possible to have a word of mouth travel amoungst the Christian living and Sober living communities. We will pay to advertise our differences on many of the various recommended social medias (i.e. sober coalition, ect.).
Ω We will have a professional website and website optimization, complete with meta tag and various key word searches. We also have help with over 800 students in Florida who can help with various social media and blog remarks – due largely in part by our very own Associated Member who is Teacher of The Year 2015 in Florida – and got it approved in their school curriculum that they could do so if they wish. Giving back is self evident, even to an 8th grader.
Ω We have many differences on the Christian and Sober Living Landscapes throughout Orange County AND the Continental United States. We are actually only a fraction of the cost more than a nice category one home, by only $100 per month.
However, we will be giving a value estimated as a reduction to a customers cost per month of a perceived approximation of $300. Esteemable acts, Entertainment and sheer energy of their vital spiritual experience starts with looking at $100 difference to be at our home… at the lowest pricing of estimated current costs at other homes. We can look at the possibility of having a higher price tag per month, with a starting discount… it seems to be open for discussion. There becomes a standard in most living environments where a revolving door attitude may occur. We wish to be the new standard of living while providing a necessary and vital spiritual experience.
