Tradesocials

Description:
Tradesocials rediscovered the way peer to peer trading is done. In all the existing services out there in the market peer to peer trading is just a transaction based model with no to zero interaction between the users. To enhance emotional connection between the users and social engagement we introduced two new concepts in peer to peer trading: Socials and Events. In Social, similar minded people can interact and trade items that suit their interests, that way conversion rate will go up as the trading will take place between the targeted audience. Events can be created and shared in socials, and within the system, this will increase the offline interactions between the users and boost the creation of likeminded communities in the hyperlocal environment. Community leaders will be generated organically, and users will follow them to get regular updates about their activity.

Process:
