SM'ART O&O SERVICES
E-Communities.Coop: Out on your Own
OUR GOALS: To open a Social E-Commerce Marketplace where every E-CO Hub can deliver traded-services opportunities from home, direct to their own Diaspora and other E-CO Hubs globally. To provide collaborative, enabling and ICT based services from Ireland in fields of Innovation, Education, Finance and Traded-Services that will take Communities from Dot Bust period of a decade ago to the current DotCoop Boom.
FROM DOTCOM BUST TO DOTCOOP BOOM
Every Country is a Nation of Communities, people who reside in Villages. So what happens when the Co-op Movement joins forces with the TeleCentre Movement in those Villages? They create a eCoop, Jobs are created and Trade is enabled. What kind of Jobs & Trade? Smart Jobs and Traded-services exports. With what Content? Culture Content, led by Homecoming Tourism, Sustainable Tourism & Culture Tourism. Who are the target Audience for these traded-services? Their Diaspora who always 'belong' there too (as so well articulated by late author John O' Donohue in Eternal Echoes) and, acting as cultural ambassadors, outreach to their Diaspora Communities in their new neighbourhoods in other countries. How can these services be delivered? Online, Offline or over Mobile/ Smartcell, whichever local capability and capacity allows. So what new role does TeleCentre need to play? Provision of more tutors for Education including Computer Skills (eg. ICDL. FDIC Money Smart....), for Development Training workshops and in promotion of Social Purchasing-driven Personalised Online Shops. And what role does the Co-op play? To broaden their horizons from products alone and to embrace traded-services, in a new kind of business, and to focus on a global marketplace where there is a vast latent demand opportunity among their own Diaspora for services in the Social E-Commerce Marketplace. What new role does Village need to play then? To create the environment by 'building' a virtual Community Development Hub, a so-called (optionally virtual) "E-CO Hub". What role do Individuals need to play? To contribute Ideas, innovative ideas, that will result in Smart Jobs and to open their own Traded-Services businesses - virtual businesses with none of the traditional and unnecessary costs any longer required, operating from home, selling into a global market where there is a global shortage of services; those with the necessary language and cultural empathy. What will all that achieve - it will create a Community's own Jobs/ Trade, opening a road out of poverty to a better way of life; and together they will create an eCo-op or DotCoop Boom (www.coop). This in the end is all about people, in villages and with their Global Communities - no longer is it about Economies, its about people's own Innovative Ideas. To quote Charles Leadbetter: "In the Economy of Things you are on your own. In the Economy of Ideas, you are what you Share".
VOXLABS® : WHAT WE DO as a new business model for creation of Virtual Communities for Social Marketplace; where Vox Franchise® is a sister franchisor that enables the bringing together of Community Service Providers as content providers from Multi-National Corps, Globally Integrated Enterprises, Co-ops, Credit Unions, Banks, Colleges, Brands of every ilk, M-SME's, Causes & Movements - all for delivery through VoxLabs' Franchised Outlets @ VoxWorld.Coop. These Outlets were developed to become just one single "Community Service Provider", serving all Communities big and small.

In return Global Communities are expected to acquire traded-services capacity from Homeshore Communities to satisfy major and existing shortfall among Employers worldwide for skilled workers and related services.

It is dedicated to bringing together Communities and Affinity Groups who are themselves driven by a desire for real change in their circumstances, all sharing a sense of cooperative common cause, and fuelled by a mixture of compassion & enlightened self-service. Together they can enable their Homeshore Communities to build their own self-sufficient, interactive Global Neighbourhood eCommunities. VoxLabs is primarily intended as a bolt-on for existing M-SME product and service providers, to collectively generate new business through added creativity, innovation and enterprise.

VOXLABS® is a Virtual E-Business, registered in Ireland. It operates on minimal overheads, utilises E-Teams being specialist consulting teams assembled on demand to mininise your costs; and works with many other people, as well as local organisations, global corporations, colleges and others so we can grwo exponentialy with you and your Community. The VoxLabs new business model has been created and developed, tested and trialled in a co-branding distribution in over 40 countries worldwide. It is now available in three versions - offline, online and mobile; commencing with offline version.
VOXLABS® MARK is an independent certification mark or label where you can stand apart from all brands, corporations, organisations and promote yourself to other the Community Co-ops. It differs from other Marks - like Fairtrade which promotes products and guarantees that Fairtrade Suppliers are getting a fair deal - in that it is concentrated on Traded-Services & Franchising activities rather than on commodities or other products.
VOXLABS® INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR) supports an original concept in independent local Community Development, specifically through Social Innovation. It is powered by Vox Labs® E-CO Pak patents and other IPR. It has created multiple concepts including micro-shop & micro-storefront patented Dispenser (the 'Shopper Stopper', or 'Presenter') and presents a calalogue of new and innovative opportunities for you so that we can grow with you from startpoint ('SM-art Start') to worldwide success for you and your Community. VOXLABS® Model you can now grow from one single product, service or combination of both; from low to high volumes; export to one or to many countries; act as a standalone provider or collaborate with model's partners in Ireland and use your own, a licensed, a generic or your Community Brand; or even cooperate with fellow Industry or other providers in one co-created offering to Diaspora Marketplace.
VOXLABS® MODEL where you can proceed to open either smallest shop in shop in the world, VOXLABS® Shopper Stopper in store; or one that can grow until you have open access for your Smart Community to the biggest, virtually untapped, latent Marketplace in the world - the Social Marketplace, one that is inhabited by about 4 Billion people. On ethat has an estimated, largely unfulfilled, marketplace demand worth over $5 trillion and with so-called frozen assets of over $10 trillion. This Marketplace is much bigger than the DotCom bubble that burst in past decade, but which paved way post Crash for the unleashing of a DotCoop boom that is now happening around us, if without much fanfare. The recent financial collapse worldwide is the awakening call that heralded the arrival of this very different and Community-driven era. There within, significant latent needs lie largely unmet for everything from accessible, affordable and convenient low cost (and free) money transfers, bank accounts, financial services (including insurance & mortgages that meet their needs), cellphones, ICT Kits; but even more so - for education, jobs, trade & shopping; and most of all - to meet the many essentials of life including food, healthcare, transport and the basics of life like clean water and a roof over our heads, that which many in rest of world still take for granted. With the advent of Internet and Communications Technology in last decade or so - real and powerful solutions are becoming available today. On closer examination, however, the developing world has as much or even more to offer the developed world - being to fill millions of skilled jobs now vacant in the global shortage of doctors, nurses, careworkers, teachers, technology-driven jobs and many others. Even more important - there is not enough funded colleges with available capacity to fill the demand that really exists in next decade and more. And the developing world cannot afford many of these services in doctors, nurses, teachers that the developed world take for granted - they must earn the money first, and that means they must have access to exports. Since there is limited production capacity among that Marketplace of some 4 billion people - they need to rely on digital products like culture, education, traded-services - and that in turn need collaborative partners in marketiing, technology, logistics, funding etc. These are all available from or through VOXLABS® Model in Ireland. All that is needed to start is the backing of you and your community - its your initiative, so its up to each on eos us to do it. The overall solution lies in Social Purchasing - leveraging the power that lies within Community emigrants, migrants, diaspora and their role as ambassadors of their culture into what has been called their global neighbourhood communities.
