Luvocracy - Thoughts?
Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2014 3:40 pm
I signed up for the website Luvocracy the other day because of entering a blog giveaway. If you aren't familiar with the site, it is similar to Pinterest, but you can actually shop through the site. If someone buys a product through your tag, I believe you get a bit of credit to spend (you also get a $10 credit just for signing up).
In doing a little bit of research about the site, I came across an Etsy seller that really didn't care for the idea because Luvocracy is essentially making the purchase for the buyer. The buyer isn't ever sent to the actual site the item is being purchased from. She also questioned how they can give credits to people when they aren't marking up prices.
I was just curious about what opinions were here about this site. Karen, as a small business owner, I'd particularly love to hear your opinion.
