Manage Hot Deals/Member to Member Deals

One of the benefits you can offer your membership is the opportunity to share special discounts or “Hot Deals” with other members and your community. Hot Deals, sometimes called Community Deals, are specials that a member desires to post for consumer viewing on your association's website. Member-to-Member (M2M) deals are also created here (Plus edition or greater with v2 or greater public modules).

Members may submit deals through the Member Information Center or a staff person may add a deal on behalf of the member. By default, deals require approval by a staff person if the member submits them through the Member Information Center, which can be set to send off an email to your staff. Regardless, the Task List will indicate the number of pending deals that need your approval. After approval, members are sent an automatic email notice of approval.

When new deals are added, subscribers to the eNewsletter Mailing list will receive an automatic email notification. Members are sent an automatic reminder email three days prior to the expiration of a Hot Deal.
