How Does the Dosh App Benefit Users?


Saturday, November 17, 2018

How Marketing 3.0 Has Redefined Objectives


An Austin technology entrepreneur, Ryan Wuerch engages as CEO and chairman of the Dosh app, which rewards people for digitally purchasing items through cash back to individual bank accounts. Ryan Wuerch recently posted a company blog article on the topic “Why We Don’t Have Relationships with Brands Anymore.” 

The background is a dramatic shift in how consumers relate with brands, with the product-focused Marketing 1.0 giving way to the targeted, data-informed and consumer-focused strategies of Marketing 2.0. 

The emerging Marketing 3.0 paradigm is described as “values-focused,” with an emphasis on the concept that the client inhabits a complex and changing world in which brand preferences reflect shifting needs, finances, and relationships with products. 

In many cases, this involves doing away with engrained barriers. For example, Lyft has expanded by minimizing traditional taxi driver/passenger distinctions and emphasizing a human, peer-to-peer “friend/friend” experience. Similarly, Starbucks has ubiquitously expanded through understanding that customers are not simply product consumers. 

Through pursuing omnichannel strategies, Starbucks has been able to engage customers holistically and enrich their lives in personal ways, including through social responsibility channels that reach them emotionally. Data has transitioned from being a way of targeting products to specific demographics to one of integrating products and corresponding values within a person’s daily life.

Programs at the Michael Carter Lisnow Respite Center


Ryan Wuerch is an accomplished entrepreneur who has led Dosh in Austin, Texas, as CEO since developing the cash back app in 2016. When he is not providing Dosh with immediate and long-term strategies, Ryan Wuerch spends time contributing to a number of philanthropic organizations and community groups, such as the Michael Lisnow Respite Center outside Boston. 

Located in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, the Michael Carter Lisnow Respite Center serves hundreds of families and children living with disabilities. The Center maintains a number of programs designed to support these families, notably the Weekend Respite program. Children in the Weekend Respite program often have significant and complex medical needs that typically prevent family members from spending time away from their home. Through the program, families are afforded one weekend per month during which time they can relax, plan to dine out, or see a movie. 

Meanwhile, the Monday and Tuesday Overnights program is a weekly service directed towards families with the highest degree of need, including single-parent households or families led by elderly adults. Working parents can also take advantage of the Michael Carter Lisnow Respite Center’s After School Care program. Additional programs include ongoing Respite Care for Children, the Adult Day program, and Employment Support for Individuals with Disabilities.

Entering its 19th year of running the Boston Marathon, the Michael’s Miracle Marathon Team is currently accepting pledges for 2018.

Dosh - Enabling Travelers to Access Cash Back on Purchases


Ryan Wuerch serves as the executive chairman, founder, and CEO of DOSH, an Austin, Texas-based company whose app and technology platform helps consumers and businesses get cash back. The founder of the company, Ryan Wuerch guided the launch of the Dosh mobile app, which offers users the opportunity to earn cash back while traveling. 

The app can be used when dining out, booking travel, shopping at retail establishments, or shopping online. After downloading the Dosh app and linking it to your debit and credit cards, Dosh searches over 100,000 brands and merchants for rebates and coupons that match your transactions, then puts the cash back in your Dosh wallet without the user having to do a thing. At that point, you can view your cash back easily through the app. Then you can transfer your cash back to a bank account. 

One benefit of the app is that it searches for cash back opportunities in real time. The benefit of this approach for those who travel light is that it does not involve scanning receipts, cutting coupons, or even presenting to app to a merchant when shopping. Dosh searches, finds, and deposits the cash back into the user’s wallet automatically. Travelers simply shop and spend as usual while they visit destinations across the globe and allow the cash to add up. Booking travel arrangements through Dosh also offers access to the best prices, plus additional cash back each night.

In addition, Dosh provides other services and features that include:

Hydration Demands for Running a Marathon


 A two-time Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Ryan Wuerch founded and chairs the board of DOSH. Outside of his professional endeavors, Ryan Wuerch enjoys running marathons

Preparing for a marathon involves more than just training your body to handle the rigors of the race. One of the most important things marathon runners need to monitor, both in the days leading up to and during the race, is water intake. 

Dehydration is a serious problem that can negatively impact your performance. Conversely, if you drink too much water, you can suffer from hyponatremia, which, in its most serious instances, can lead to brain swelling that causes seizures, among other life-threatening complications. A 2005 New England Journal of Medicine article showed that 13 percent of the participants in the 2002 Boston Marathon may have been affected by the condition. 

Hence, it is important to stay hydrated in the lead-up to a race, but to avoid drinking water when you're not thirsty. Do the same during the marathon. Most runners consume less than 16 ounces of water per hour when racing.

Five Basic Traveling Tips


Ryan Wuerch developed the Dosh mobile application with a focus on helping consumers and businesses by reducing the wasted spending on advertisements and transactions and transforming it into cash back for users. While leading the development of Dosh, Ryan Wuerch also focused on features that help travelers find the best hotel prices and also get cash back on the booking. After using an app like Dosh to save money on their next vacation, travelers should keep these general tips in mind before heading out on their big trip

1. Stay hydrated on planes. Planes can reach elevations of up to 30,000 feet, which can increase the risk of dehydration and altitude sickness. Long flights can be particularly prone to this, so drink plenty of water and go easy on alcoholic drinks. 

2. Take advice from locals. When looking for a place to eat or something new to do, talk to the locals to gather advice and identify popular locations or eateries. Locals can direct you to unexpected places and favorite places to eat beyond franchised chains and fast-food dinners. 

3. Embrace spontaneity. Fight the urge to plan every moment of your trip, and leave time in your schedule for unplanned excursions. Embarking on unplanned excursions can lead to new and exciting experiences that may become some of the best moments of your trip. 

4. Separate money sources. Avoid keeping all your money in one place. Find various hiding places in your luggage for your money, and make sure you stash extra cash in a hidden location for use in an emergency, such as a lost wallet. 

5. Pack accordingly. Pay close attention to the kind of weather you will encounter when traveling and pack accordingly. Bring sunscreen and light clothing to warmer places, and remember to pack coats, gloves, and layered clothing if traveling during the winter.
