3. Introduction
My name is Gilles Desplas, I’m a French startup creator with more than 25 years of
experience. In July 2013, based on our professional experience, my associate William
Maugein and I, decided to launch a digital marketing agency.
After a few month of activity and many customer meetings, it was clear that instead of
explaining how to give more money to Google or Facebook many people wanted
alternative solutions to do business on the web and specifically through social networks.
We found only one solution: Involve social network users in the loop !
Kissnshare, the crowd-selling machine was born !
- Gilles Desplas, CEO and Founder
4. Conclusion :
Companies have products
to sell and social network
users have the power to
recommend: we must
create the rewarded online
word-of-mouth.
Problem 2 :
Billions of social network
users want to earn money
by lending something they
own, why not their ability
to share?
Problem 1 :
From small businesses to
multinational companies,
they want to reach
potential customers
through social networks.
Problems
5. Solution
Kissnshare is a selling platform based on both sharing economy
and crowd-engagement concepts.
Kissnshare connects social network users and companies for
a unique partnership that will forever change the way to sell
on the Internet.
Kissnshare rewards social network users for sharing
companies’ products, with real cash !
6. Word-of-Mouth Marketing
Word of Mouth Marketing (WOMM). Isn’t this really the original social media platform? I grew up with the
famous Faberge commercial that showed a woman who “told 2 friends” about the product and how “they
told 2 friends … and so on … and so on”. Hasn’t WOM always been a powerful way to influence business
results ?

8. How it Works – Enterprise Side
Once the deal is shared by Kissnshare users, the customer can
follow the Deal’s statistics through his dedicated dashboard.
Kissnshare sets up a Deal’s conditions with a customer.
A Deal represents a special offer on products, a negotiated
commission for the platform and a time frame.
Kissnshare hosts a fully branded, short-lived, online store
featuring the deal, it’s what we call a Popup store.
9. How it Works – User Side
Kissnshare generates a personal link to the deal’s popup store.
Users register on Kissnshare using their social network account.
The platform features the available deals and users select what
they want to share.
Users can follow their sales through dedicated dashboard.
Users share their unique link with their friends, they earn cash
when a sale is closed through their link.
10. How it Works – Technical Workflows
Each link for each user sharing the Deal is generated
and recognized by the online store :
