Inuvo has launched an app called DealEx that allows merchants, whether local or national, to create and distribute deals.
It’s a similar concept to Groupon or Living Social, but with an affiliate twist for distribution.
DealEx is an application and not a destination site, and merchants are able to create a deal, which gets added to a feed, and then that feed can be used by affiliates to promote the deals.
Affiliates earn 10-15% of the sale of any deal when they refer a customer, and starting early next year, Inuvo will offer the option to brand the checkout process for the affiliates.
