What started out as a niche topic has exploded into a worldwide web phenomenon. Social communuties are springing up everywhere for every interest imaginable, from photography to food and more. Success rates show that users love them, but the creators often have one problem: revenue. While the sites are mostly free, creating and hosting them isn’t.  Advertising tends to annoy users, and offers like premium memberships or virtual items often don’t pay off, as users tend to stick with the free version of the network.

Much like web shop customers, users of social communities mostly respond to special offers like discounts or a free trial period, which social network operators are able to provide with deal united. With our solution, users can get a premium membership or other features for free if they shop online and make a purchase with one of deal united’s top advertisers. The social community site then receives a portion of the sale to pay for the free membership.

Though user counts of social communities increase constantly, it's difficult to create revenue.

It’s a great deal for users: They get free access to the benefits of a membership that would normally cost money, and they purchase something they planned to buy anyway. These (former) users of the free membership are now able to get more involved with the community, and are satisfied users. The chances that they will become long-term paying members are also higher, since they get a glimpse into how cool it is.

deal united services can be easily integrated in many ways  to meet the ever-changing requirements of social communities and networks. You can use emails, personal messages, banners, pop-ups and messages in the payment process or offer us as a payment option.

deal united’s solution also facilitates customized targeting of customers, like those that only use the free version. This way, deal united – unlike regular marketing campaigns – gives community operators the opportunity to deliver the message to those users they want to address. What’s more, our service is completely free for community operators. Integration doesn’t cost a thing, and neither do the deals.
