Well so long as it ran like Amazon everything will be fine.
Maybe there is need for middle-men in Jamaica, because of the security, shipping and logistics but if all the company is doing is acting as a conduit, how long before that model is eclipsed?

I would have love to see some of these folks who made a buck invest in something really unique, such as manufacturing.

IrieSocial seeks to assist people discover more of Jamaica and Jamaican products and services and offers Caribbean businesses a breakthrough into the global market.

The prime targets of IrieSocial will be tourists, members of the diaspora and native Jamaicans.

Three main deals will be on offer.

<span style="font-weight: bold">These include a daily deal, a flash deal and a brand quiz.
</span>
The daily deal is risk-free advertising set to bring in new customers. It will not attract a cost; only a transaction fee on successful sales.

IrieSocial will create the message and send the deal to subscribers, who will in turn purchase the deal after which a cheque, along with customers, will be sent to the advertiser.

<span style="font-weight: bold">The flash deal is to help reduce waste by selling products and services at a discounted price. This will be done through low-cost digital discount coupons that will be sent to the subscribers who will present them when accessing their deals.</span>

The brand quiz is a set of quizzes designed to help improve brand awareness and, in the process, help consumers learn about a product.

The brand quiz will teach the consumer exactly what they need to know, as well as about new products, services and prices.
