 Think about eBay for services. That's ePERKS. ePERKS - Giant Perks is a new marketplace search engine, where a consumer can find the best deal for a given service. And the name says everything: it is a marketplace to get Gigantic Perks: when you are buying a house, you can have 20% cash back, when you are selling a home, you can have one week vacation in Hawaii or maybe a new blackberry when you are buying a new car. The service had launched yesterday and the website is clean, easy to navigate well elaborated. You can search for Real State Agents, Car Dealers or Home Contractors using your Zip Code or just typing the name of your city.  It's great for consumers because they have access to thousands Offers, Cash back, Discounts, Perks and Expertise and they have the freedom to choose any service provider based on many criteria when they are ready.  It's great for services providers because they have access to truly motivated and intent driven buyers and sellers, access to consumers who are looking to and will contact them instead. And also the opportunity to earn consumer business through many avenues. You don't need a web page to offer your services. It sounds a great service and I'm waiting them worldwide.
