Hunny is an all-in-one, social e-commerce platform based on the marketing power of influencers.  Members interact with influencers in specific categories such as sports, entertainment, fashion and beauty.

They are given curated opportunities to purchase products, discounted deals, and unique experiences not generally offered elsewhere. Members are rewarded in loyalty points for the time they spend on the platform.

Bringing all of these elements together transforms an immature influencer landscape into one that creates a bottom-line benefit for all key stakeholders.  Hunny’s use of top technologies like AI (artificial intelligence) and data analytics help advertisers and influencers better understand the behavior of their audience and how to engage them on any given campaign or post.

Big Data meets Deep Data for influencers.


That said, the influencer marketing ecosystem is far from perfect. A few of the persisting issues that brands and influencers are forced to deal with:

Think of our platform as a targeted, laser-focused e-commerce website where we take a deal-driven approach to connecting businesses with customers, while providing a higher level of insight and the branding power of influencer marketing.

Hunny works by engaging members in specific lounges that reflect their lifestyles. Members can view what styles are trending in the fashion lounge, score tickets to the big MMA fight in the sports lounge, or see what is happening in the entertainment world, all while easily navigating through the site in just seconds.

It is the ultimate social community experience. Hunny connects people to social influencers who share their passions and opens up a world of interactive possibilities.

Hunny plans to allow members to purchase unique experiences and deeply discounted products and services tied to sports, music, beauty and fashion, using their Hunny Reward Card or regular debit/credit card.

MEMBER JOURNEY:
It starts with AI and data analytics.  Members receive targeted, customized, unique experiences that match their interests.

As members browse Hunny’s curated content, they will be rewarded with Hunny Loyalty Points. The more time spent on Hunny, the more opportunities members will have to win unique experiences and other prizes offered daily.

INFLUENCER JOURNEY:
We are consolidating thousands of influencers under a single roof and allowing them to merge all social media accounts onto one dashboard. Our rich suite of AI tools provides even more influencer benefits, including user growth and social media brand campaign management. 

All the influencer needs to do is to join a lounge and press “send” to activate content and engage members.  The influencers will be compensated with a percentage of sales in their lounge and stock.

One of Hunny’s top features is its customized social shopping experiences.

Members receive targeted deals and deep discounts on products and services based on their interests.  From influencer meet-and-greets to unforgettable getaways, here is a glimpse at what we offer:

Hunny will also offer flash deals, best sellers, recommended deals, all-time favorites, and unique experiences -  making them available for purchase in one click.  We will target these offers to our members based on our AI and data analytics.

Members are rewarded in loyalty points for everything they do on the site, from window shopping to browsing influencers, as a thank you for the valuable data provided.

A Look at Some of Our Achievements:
