Rewards as high as $10.00 for sharing two photos of a restaurant dish weren't enough, despite having hundreds of participating restaurants.
May be because you focused your sales efforts at places where $10.00 was not enough, how about developing countries, like APAC and other places, where it really would matter ?
Social.Gifts sounds like a good idea, is it live ? I would be interested especially on reviews as most reviews on actual sites are fake. It would be great, if a review system exists with honest opinions about the product, with a link to the product.
Re: Dining.Gifts
The value of rebates usually represents about 25% of a typical restaurant bill. In markets where the average bill is lower, the reward for sharing two photos of a dish will be proportionally less.
Re: Social.Gifts
The primary focus of Social.Gifts is affiliate commissions. It offers a easy way to monetize your interests and hobbies: create a product collection that transforms into a sleek, mobile-friendly website, like the ones previously mentioned. Yes, the service is fully operational, though we are still finalizing the tutorials.
