Overview

Hot Deals, sometimes called Community Deals, are specials that a member desires to post for consumer viewing on your association's website. Member-to-Member (M2M) deals are also created here (Plus edition or greater with SEO integration). These specials cumulatively are also referred to as Advertising.

The member may submit one of these deals through the Member Information Center or a staff person may add a deal on behalf of the member. The Advanced Options tab allows staff to add, view, edit, remove, approve, and disable Hot Deals. These same features are available by selecting Advertising in the left-hand menu, where deals for all members may be managed together.

By default, deals require approval by a staff person if the member submits them through the Member Information Center, which can be set to send off an email to your staff. Regardless, the Task List will indicate the number of pending deals that need your approval. After approval, members are sent an automatic email notice of approval.

By default, deals will not go live on the web site without your approval. If you desire to have all deals automatically appear on your website without staff approval, select Enable on Auto-Approve Hot Deals selection in Member Login Area Options and Setting menu in the Setup module.

When new deals are added, subscribers to the eNewsletter Mailing list will receive an automatic email notification. Members are sent an automatic reminder email three days prior to the expiration of a Hot Deal.

Note: If a member has an active deal in place when they are dropped, an option will display at that time giving opportunity to disable the deal at that moment.

Hot Deals FAQs

  • Can I change the active dates of a Hot Deal after it has been saved?
Yes, the dates that the deal or posting will be displayed on the website (a.k.a. active dates) may be modified by staff as long as the deal was saved with no charges associated.
If the original deal was saved with a charge associated, then the dates may not be modified. If this were the case, change the status of the original event to Disabled and simply create a new event with the correct dates.
Active Dates may not be changed by a member in any situation.
  • How will I know when a member submits a Hot Deal?
The Task List in the left-hand menu indicates when deals are In Cart or Pending Approval. Click Hot Deals to view these. You can also be setup to receive an email notification when a deal is submitted via the Member Information Center.
  • Can members and/or other consumers receive notification of new deals?
Yes. Those wanting to receive an email each time a new deal is added should subscribe to the eNewsletter mailing list. There will be a link on the Hot Deals page on your website or you can register for them under Advertising->Hot Deals eNewsletter Mailing List. See “eNewsletter Mailing List” for more information.
