Welcome to the Aussie Retail Rescue
There is no question that Covid-19 has accelerated online shopping to extraordinary numbers globally. Pre-Covid, we never imagined that 2021/22 would see online shopping in Australia as the necessity it has now become for most people.
It is the perfect storm! Mass lockdowns, online mobile devices and very high demand for home delivery have created a vastly different shopper. The shopper is now sophisticated.
The 20-yr old ‘Legacy’ online Marketplaces are to Explore My Store what fossil fuel vehicles are to electric vehicles. They simply won’t last!
Online shopping needed to be re-imagined, and we have just done it! Explore MY Store is now shopping the way it should be.
Covid arrived when Australia was seeing a “global retail apocalypse” ravage merchants shores. Big brands we all grew up with disappearing forever!

An Australian fightback had to be conceived. We had already lost the manufacturing industry. Now the retail Industry is under severe threat. That’s why we have created the Aussie Retail Rescue plan.
Our programme unites thousands of Australian Merchants to be showcased to all Australian shoppers and no middle man takes a cut of the sale. Period!
The fallout from the pandemic; the invasion of foreign stores; the costs to promote an online presence have all placed serious pressure on Australian Merchants.
Many are falling into bankruptcy with losses from last year too big to overcome. The next twelve months will be even worse for some! Lost livelihoods, broken families, associated health issues, community pressures, etc. This is serious! The future of the ‘Lucky Country’ is at stake here.
Australia needs to stand up and rally, they need to forsake the giant self-proclaimed emperors especially Amazon, eBay, Alibaba and Wish to name a few.
We may all long to see shopping return to the ‘High Street’ but in the meanwhile, at least shop online with Australian stores.

Membership Pass
Own one of the Exclusive Limited Edition Explore My Store (EMS) Membership passes (Total supply limited to 5,000 only)
Exclusively on the Solana blockchain for Aussie merchants an exclusive limited-edition membership access that will provide lifetime discounted access to the ever increasing benefits of Explore My Store premium services.
BEGINNING OF THE NEW WAY OF MARKETING
Membership is very exclusive. There are only 5,000 Premium Membership passes available ever for merchants in Explore My Store. Most of the raised funds will be used to market the platform to the millions of shoppers all-around Australia to Rescue Aussie Retail. We want to bring the power back to the Australian merchants and keep the profits in Australia.
WHY NFT?
The Membership passes will be minted in the form of NFT (Non Fungible Token) on the Solana blockchain. This provides your ‘Access Key’ to all of the existing and future benefits of the EMS platform at significant discounts. There are also other exclusive benefits beyond just discounts. Instead of having recurring membership access fees, we are offering an investment in the NFT asset. Holding the NFT provides lifetime access to all membership programme benefits, at the same time if you decide not to use premium services in the future, you have an option to sell your NFT asset in the secondary market and recover your investment or even make a profit.
BENEFITS
Having only 5,000 membership passes available and 35,0000 existing merchants means, only 14.2% merchants can buy one. New Merchants are joining every day and we’re targeting 100,000 in the next 12 months
When we have 100 thousand merchants or, if some merchants buy multiple membership passes the percentage available decreases. We expect this will increase the desirability and price on the secondary market. You can do the math
Those who hold 1-3 membership passes will have a 15% discount on all premium services provided by EMS. One membership pass can be used per store and if you have several brands you can use the benefit of each pass to promote each of your brands
If you hold 4 or more membership passes you will have a 30% discount on all premium services provided by EMS. The 30% discount applies to each brand managed by the merchant who has an associated wallet with 4 or more passes
Some merchants and investors will buy extra membership passes to sell later at a profit in the open market
Membership passes pay for themselves very quickly and you can do your own math on ROI
Being on the Blockchain means safety, transparency, and certainty is assured
MINTING CRITERIA
We want to keep the membership passes exclusive to Australians therefore 80% of the total supply will have the whitelisting process (reserving process) allocated from day one for those who own Australian stores with an ABN. 20% of the supply will be available to the public for investment/resale only purposes but can only ever be used by Australian merchants when it comes to claiming the membership benefits.
MINTING PROCESS
The total supply will be divided into 3 batches where the 1st batch will have the supply of 1,000 membership passes. The 2nd batch supply will be 1,000 membership passes. The remaining 3,000 membership passes will be minted within the 3rd batch. The Whitelist will be on a first come first serve basis.
PAYBACK CASE STUDY
The payback case study shows the payback (in days) of the investment when merchant is using full service premium package.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is EMS?
An eCommerce platform that has re-imagined the online shopping experience; it keeps profits in the host country and puts local merchants first. You know of Uber or Airbnb, right? The biggest taxi and accommodation businesses in the world… they don’t own a taxi or a room!
Explore My Store (EMS) is the biggest shopping center in Australia and they do not own a shop! Already, EMS has listed more than 35,000 Australian merchants, and new merchants are joining daily.
What is Blockchain?
The blockchain is an open searchable Immutable public ledger for recording transactions.
What is Solana?
Solana is the fastest and least expensive blockchain in the world and the fastest-growing ecosystem in crypto, with thousands of projects spanning DeFi, NFTs, Web3 and more.
What is an NFT?
NON Fungible Token (NFT) is a unique cryptographic token that exists on a blockchain and cannot be replicated. NFTs can represent real-world items like artwork, real estate or membership access. “Tokenizing” these real-world tangible assets makes buying, selling, and trading them more efficient and less expensive while reducing the probability of fraud.

How to buy Solana and USDC?

You can buy Solana after creating an account, passing the KYC process and buying it by using your credit card. Also check our Telegram group https://t.me/exploremystore_AUS for more details instructions and support.

What will the mint supply be?

How can I benefit from investing in EMS Memerbship pass if I am not an Australian merchant?

Why USDC on Solana blockchain?
We want to build the best ecosystem possible for our community. Seeing that we expect an array of features of which most actions will require a transaction. Other Blockchain such as ETH will limit profitability or affordability for many, and the network can become heavily congested. Solana on the other hand is very fast, very cheap, and has a lot more scope for growth currently. USDC is a “stable coin” pledged to USD and therefore the value of the membership pass will not be impacted by the volatility of cryptocurrencies, but will have impact only from the amazing and increasing value Explore My Store provides to its growing daily # of merchants.
Minting date?
