The Basics

What is Conscious360?

For businesses, Conscious360 is a structured strategy for managing and expanding your client and business-to-business referral networks, and attracting new clients. For conscious people who care about other people, their communities and the world, Conscious360 is the premier place to find the best local businesses, events and information in the Greater Denver Metro Area and beyond.

How do you ensure that your businesses are really conscious?

The Conscious360 referral network is community-regulated.  Businesses build credibility when someone becomes a fan of them, or writes a positive testimonial about them.  Their prestige is further enhanced when they submit articles in their areas of expertise, or when they themselves become fans of other businesses and write testimonials for others. As this website's features expand, it will be possible to sort the business directory by credibility in a number of ways. Businesses who are keeping their promises to be eco-friendly, community-supportive and spiritually developed will generate far more traffic than those who are not. As a last resort, there is a kick-out process for businesses who clearly do not belong in the Conscious360 network, and this is initiated by a complaint email to the Conscious360 staff.

Is Conscious360 just for Denver?

Conscious360 serves the Greater Denver Metro Area. But we get visitors and contributions from all over the world! People are eager to hear about conscious businesses, events and information. Conscious360 expects to expand to serve communities all across the USA and beyond.

I already have a Free Membership, how do I upgrade to a Premier Business Membership?

To upgrade from a Free Membership to a Premier Business Membership, click on the appropriate icon in the left sidebar on the home page.

I have more than one business. Can I have them all on the same account?

Our directory does not support listing multiple businesses on the same account.  We recommend that you purchase Premier memberships for the businesses that you want to have access to Premier features, and setup Free memberships for those businesses where you don't need those kinds of features.  So, you may want a Premier membership for your primary business, and Free memberships for any side businesses.  Just click "Sign up" at the top of this page and create a new account for each business.  You should give each new business account a unique Userid and password.  We are in the process of upgrading our technology to make it easier to manage multiple business accounts, stay tuned!

What should I do after I've registered?

If you have registered as a User without a business, we encourage you to sign up for our weekly newsletter.  Start searching our business directory for the products and services you've been looking for, and for promotions available only to Conscious360 users.  Check out the Event Calendar for events that you would enjoy. Browse our articles on topics that interest you.  And come back often!
