 The legal name of the company behind ChopDog.com is Uponz, LLC. (U post coupons –ponz).
The concept was to create a community of shoppers, businesses and
non-profit organizations each helping one another under the guidance of
an imbedded local representative or distributor. Small businesses can
post coupons for free and subscribers can search for them. When
purchases are made or coupons are used everyone benefits: the shopper,
the business and a non-profit.
The
founder, Bill Tymoszczuk (Bill T) and the management team believe in
helping others first, without a lot of marketing hype. “Our
vision is to build the largest performance based shopping community in
the USA - where every purchase and coupon used benefits a cause.
ChopDog.com can accomplish that goal, if we work together. We are
a team and you are part of it when you join.” Bill Tymoszczuk, The Big Dog.
