DealBundle is a site that brings bargain hunters together in one virtual forum to post, review, and purchase the best online deals. Site users have the opportunity to search two categories of deals those that have been rated by other users as being Top Deals (having received a rating of at least 3 out of 5 stars), and New Deals (those that have yet to be rated). All posts are made by DealBundle members. The shopping forum is open to not only DealBundle members, but unregistered visitors as well. DealBundle takes the posting of deals a step further by rewarding members with a commission when their posts have been rated.
"DealBundle is a social shopping community created and supported by members! With DealBundle, users submit deals for review, then you the user, (our community) rates those deals on quality and popularity to promote to our main website, DealBundle. Deals that have been promoted to DealBundle can still be rated and commented on. In-fact, you can view the "Most Popular" within DealBundle from the homepage (it is populated in real-time, so check it often for the best of the best)!"
DealBundle has potential to be successful, as it is built upon a logical concept: bringing niche customers to a specific forum which is reliant upon other members’ incentivized effort. This model should potentially provide site shoppers with the best array of bargains, as deal posts are rewarded with commission, hence providing incentive to the members to continue positing great deals to potential buyers. In order for this concept to be successful, members must continue to post new and appealing deals.
DealBundle has existed for a few years, yet the number of deals posted, particularly the rated Top Deals, is not as great in numbers as some other online shopping forums. How will DealBundle increase the number and diversity of deals posted? How they will increase traffic to the website? An updated and more attractive interface may increase traffic, and make the site more competitive.
