iPropi is a service of word of mouth on the Internet. iPropi enables
Internet users to propagate ads through a large community as well
as to email addresses of their choice. iPropi gives the opportunity
to Internet users to solicit and reward their social network to optimise
their search.
This reward acts as an incentive not only for their friends but also
for the friends of their friends (and so on) to send on the ad to
their own social network until it finds a match! Ad creators are free
to set any reward (provided it is legal) and are responsible for its
payment in case their ad is matched through iPropi. iPropi will share
it automatically among participants who led to a match for a requester's
ad.
Thanks to the power of our patented email propagation service, iPropi
is the sole service worldwide able to bring a successful closure to
very specific ads in a fraction of the time that would be necessary
otherwise.
iPropi's commitment
to the requesters and propagators who propagate ads is:
 not to sell
or give personal data provided by its users: read our Terms of Service;
to use the
necessary means to protect its users against Spam.
| >>
Find
a match to your ad |
|
 |
1. Create
an ad, set the reward that goes along and send it to your friends
and contacts through iPropi in order to start its propagation on the
Net.
2. Your
friends then have two options to help you :
Either they
can fulfil the ad directly and submit a proposal to you
Either they
send the ad on to their own friends to connect you to a successful
match
3. Their
friends have the same two options then. So will the friends of their
friends and so on until somebody on the chain can fulfil your ad.
The "6 degrees of separation" theory shows that you are
most likely to find a match to your ad in less than 6 connectors.
4. Once
you have been connected to somebody who can match your ad and close
the deal, reward the "Big Winner" and the "intermediaries"
who led you to him as you had promised in your ad.
| >>
Propagate our users' ads and be rewarded |
|
|
Whether you
have received propagation from a friend of yours or you are hunting
rewards offered by iPropi requesters, iPropi makes it easy for you
to reach your goal.
1. Click on the "Propagate" button that appears
both in a propagation you have received or from the detail page
of an ad you are interested in. iPropi will take you directly to
this ad "Propagation page"
2. Enter
the email addresses of the person you wish to inform about this
ad, write a message to let them know what your email is about and
send it.
3. That's
it! Your friends may either :
Fulfil the
ad directly and submit a proposal to the ad Requester
Send the ad on to their own friends
Anyhow, if you lead to a person able to fulfil a Requester's ad,
you may be eligible for the reward attached to it.
| >>
Submit a proposal for an ad posted on iPropi |
|
|
 |
Click
on this button and iPropi will take you to the proposition screen
on the website. Provide a precise description of your proposal
so that the ad creator can assess it. |
As every proposal
must be processed by Requesters, Submitters should expect to have
a feedback soon after they sent their proposal! As a submitter; you
will be contacted either by the Requester directly or by iPropi in
case the ad creator you contacted is not satisfied with your proposal.
| >>
Be in control |
|
|
Our users'
freedom and privacy is most important to us. iPropi provides Requesters,
Propagators, and Submitters with flexible tools and services to
keep full control over your participation at all times. On iPropi,
you can:
Control
your ad exposure (Public or Private)
Set a limit
to your ad reach (max number of propagators allowed)
Decide on
the nature and value of the reward you offer for the people who
connect you with a successful match
Choose whether
to be automatically informed about ads in your categories of interest
or not thanks to iPropi filters.
Prevent
anybody in connection with iPropi to send you emails : a specific
user, emails about a specific category or even every email from
iPropi
Easily manage
your participation in iPropi's community through "My iPropi"

Step 1:
Describe your ad
We ask our ad Requesters to provide a complete and accurate description
of their ad.
Step 2:
Set a reward
Requesters can use either our easy (cash only) or advanced mode
(anything legal) to specify a reward. Rewards are a strong incentive
for your friends, their friends, their friends' friends to spread
the word on your ad through iPropi.
Step 3:
Spread your ad
Once you have created your ad, iPropi takes you to the "Propagation
screen". Write a message to ask for your friends' help, enter
their email addresses and let your propagation start!
Step 4:
Receive a confirmation email
Once your propagation initiated, iPropi sends you a "Propagation
Results". It is a confirmation email to inform you of the results
of this propagation and the status for each email address: some
of your contacts may have received the ad from another participant
in the propagation; others may have requested not to receive any
email from iPropi; some email addresses may be wrong. Requesters
may propagate again their ad anytime from "My ad" in "My
iPropi". On iPropi, you stay in full control of your ads easy
and always!

A. Check your
ad propagation tree
1- Check it
out
In order to view how the word is spreading on a specific ad of yours
in REAL TIME, check your ad propagation tree either way:
Go in "My
iPropi" / "My Propagations" and click on "View
how the word has spread for this ad "
In your weekly
"iPropi Ad Update", click on "View how the word has
spread for this ad"
2- Use it
Use it to see who has already propagated your ad and who hasn't
yet. You can contact your friends directly by clicking on their
email address.
B. Read the
"iPropi Ad Update"
1. Receive
it
Be sure to check the box "iPropi Ad Update" when you create
your ad in order to receive an email as soon as an event occurs
on your ad, or each week if no action is recorded. You can also
activate/ deactivate it anytime. Go in "My iPropi" / "My
Ads", and check the corresponding box.
2. Use the
information
The "iPropi Ad Update" provides Requesters with an overall
picture of their ad evolution.
The "Status
on your ad propagation so far" box shows:
The depth
of your ad propagation telling how far the propagation you initiated
goes
The total
number of people informed thanks to you and your friends.
From there,
you can:
click on
"View how the word has spread for this ad" to have an
instant access to your ad propagation tree
click on
"Boost your ad propagation" to send your ad on to more
people
The "thank
or remind your friends" box provides you with the information
to:
thank your
friends who have already sent your ad on to their own friends
remind your
friends who haven't yet that they can help you very easily.
Just click on their email address to contact them directly.
The "Proposals"
box shows you a summary of all the proposals you have already received
for you ad, including:
Proposals
to reply
Proposals
to read
Log in and
go in "My iPropi" / "My ads" to read the proposal
details, answer, accept or refuse them
| >>
Propagate
your ad onto more people |
|
|
Raise your
chances to win and propagate your ads several times to more people!
You can send an ad on to more people anytime either from your iPropi
emails or from the website.
Don't worry!
You won't stack your friends' inbox. iPropi will filter your propagations
so that you do not send twice the same ad to the same email address.
From the
website
Go in "My iPropi" / "My ads", open the ad "Details"
page and click on the button " Propagate + ".
From an
iPropi email
The " Propagate + " button appears in the following ad
specific emails:
The "iPropi
Ad Propagation Results" email
The weekly
"iPropi Propagation Update
| >>
Reply,
refuse or accept proposals |
|
|
Once you have
initiated your ad propagation on iPropi, you will receive proposals
quickly. It is your duty to reply to these proposals in good faith.
No proposal must remain in suspense.
When reading
a proposal email, you can only reply to the Submitter. To either
accept or refuse a submitter's proposal, you need to log in iPropi's
website where all submittals are automatically stored. Go in "My
iPropi" / "My ads" and select the ad at stake.
 |
you
wish to obtain more details on a proposal. |
 |
you
wish to reject a proposal; iPropi will inform the submitter
on your behalf. |
 |
you
wish to accept a proposal as it is a good match to your ad;
you have decided to close the deal with either the submitter
or the person he/she has connected you with. This submitter
may be the "Big Winner" then. |
iPropi traces
propagators who led you to this person and let them know that they
are eligible for a reward as "intermediaries" according
to the reward parameters you had set at your ad creation.
| >>
Reward
the "Big Winner" and "Intermediaries" |
|
|
Once you have
accepted a proposal and clicked on the " Accept " button,
you have several options to reward the "Big winner" and
intermediaries.
 |
Requesters
can exclude the submitter who made a matching proposal. Indeed,
a submitter may be not only the last intermediary but also the
person who closes the deal (for instance, the submitter is also
the person who buys the product for sale in the Requester's
ad). In this case it is fair that the person who forwarded th
ead to this submitter is rewarded the "Big Winner"
premium. It is up to requesters to asses the situation and act
with the submitter agreement to avoid any dispute. |
 |
In
case the submitter is really the last intermediary who connected
the Requester with the person fulfilling the ad, he deserves
to be rewarded the "Big Winner" premium. |
 |
If
an ad is entirely fulfilled with this matching proposal, then
Requesters should close it to avoid receiving any further proposals.
On the contrary, they can leave their ad open in case their
ad needs more proposals to be totally fulfilled. |
iPropi provides
a full array of services to ensure a prompt and fair closure of
every ad. However, Requesters, Propagators and Submitters must be
aware of the exact scope of iPropi's services. iPropi will:
trace the
"winning branch", i.e. the chain of people who connect
you to the submitter whom you have decided to close a deal with.
Calculate
the reward for which these intermediaries may be eligible according
to the reward parameters you entered at the time when you posted
your ad.
Inform participants
in your ad propagation of its outcome and of the reward they may
be eligible for
It is your
responsibility as a Requester to follow up with the "Big Winner"
and "Intermediaries" to arrange for the reward payment.
Requesters are responsible for the payment of their reward. As there
may be situations in which Requesters may modify their rewards,
we trust that Requesters will do so in good faith and with the participants'
agreements so that everybody wins on iPropi!
| >>
Close
an ad without a winner |
|
|
When an ad
does not succeed, ad requesters have several options:
TO RENEW
their ad duration: ad will be renewed for 30 days
TO CLOSE
" WITHOUT A WINNER " either because they couldn't find
a match at all or because they could find a match without iPropi.
As soon as the ad is closed, every participant is informed by iPropi.
In case
a participant disagrees with a Requester's decision, he may notify
iPropi. We'll forward him the message automatically. Please note
that iPropi will not participate in any dispute settlement.
Your ad might become out of date as well. Then, we ask you to close
it with no winner so that every participant is informed. Participants
might dispute the closure of an ad. iPropi can easily provide the
necessary information to interested parties in order to settle this
dispute. Indeed, any ad clearly states a requester's promise and
iPropi keeps also every proposal that has been made to a requester.
