This document provides guidance on dos and don'ts for brands operating in the eDeal channel. It recommends that brands take the lead in deciding their eDeal strategy, protect their brand through strategic deals, and treat eDeal as a marketing channel rather than just sales. Brands should test new initiatives and players if the business model adds value. They should also work to generate "love interactions" between consumers and brands through deals that provide more value than expected. The document advises working in a beta mode and challenges common myths about eDeals and consumer behavior.
