Promotion ideas.

I have some ideas of how Ebid can up its market share in the UK.

How about offering 'Nectar Points' ?, 1 point per £10 spent, or allowing sellers to sign-up to Enid Nectar in order to offer Nectar points to their buyers?.

Was it you who gave feebay the idea. Saw a TV advert last night, you now get nectar points on feebay purchases if you access feebay via nectar.com.

No, it wasn't me. I remember now, Greedbay started offering Nectar points a while back.
I wonder how hard it would be to set-up a similar system open initially to Ebidders only.
I'll throw this one open to anyone with experiance in the loyalty points business, as I have none whatsoever.

Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to do.

All we would need is a nice name like 'Honey' (what nectar gets turned into), or something similar.

I've just realised, I have an old friend who writes programs & websites. I will contact him to see how easy it would be.

In the mean time, I propose 'Honeycombs'.
The scheme would be an opt-in available for all sellers, regardless of status. Funding would be by 1.5% of FVF, this would cover a '1p per point' pay-out + administration charges. Unlike 'Nectar', this scheme will be world-wide, not just local to the UK, and would include all purchases.
