Avantagia could be the company's new membership card. Similar to the Costco card or Amazon Prime, members will receive discounts, deals, special offers, and other benefits.
Membership will be a small annual fee. This will allow the company to build and renovate its new infrastructure, i.e. Provixia and Gyromino establishments. Members will receive free shipping, reduced delivery fees, discounts on pharmaceuticals, and other worthwhile benefits. We might also team up with other companies and together offer further significant discounts, such as on airlines, hotels, and gas companies.

At the centre of every Provixia store will be a massive stage. On that stage will be a working kitchen. This is where renowned chefs will prepare enticing meals and explain to the audience the ingredients, the utensils, and techniques required to complete each dish.
However, it is not enough to limit our audience to the people in the store. We will live-stream each meal, using the latest streaming technology such as Mevo by LiveStream.

   

....................................................................................................................................................

   

Every Provixia will have at least sixty end displays, albeit not the standard aisles  found in most supermarkets. Therefore there will be 20 displays for specials, 20 displays for new products, and twenty displays for product demonstrations. Companies will provide the staff and product and the customer will take advantage of food tastings.

The experience can be shown live online through live streaming the demonstrations on demostreaming.com.

An ingenious invention that could have a dramatic impact on our business.
