Kumbuya LLC.

Kumbuya is where you tell the world what you want, meet others who want the same thing, and connect with business willing to meet demands.

Kumbuya is an interactive social platform to bridge the gap on deal sites between consumers and merchants by allowing for the creation and offering of the right deals to the right buyers in relevant online/offline communities. Kumbuya also allows for the building, managing, and tracking of relationships between buyers and merchants.

Kumbuya rewards customer love and loyalty by offering the ability for anyone to create their own “deal of the day” to a business they are already fans of. Consumers such as bloggers can also create a Deal Community for their network, join a Deal Circle to share deals with friends, and put a referral badge on their blog to receive a referral percentage payout of Kumbuya’s revenue from any related closed deals! With the world readily available with a few clicks of a mouse, Kumbuya recognizes the importance of the written word, working to create a fluid relationship between consumers and the business they want to hear from for an epic win situation for all!

Businesses on Kumbuya can make money by either accepting deals created by fans or creating their own deals. With Kumbuya businesses get a unique advantage of tailoring deals to targeted communities that already express interest in the types of goods or services the kind business provides. A seamless relationship between a merchant and members using Kumbuya, cultivates customer loyalty in close knit communities with personal endorsement by fans.

Kumbuya was started by the team behind The Printed Blog as a response to the billions of dollars of advertising that is not bypassing bloggers and print newspapers.
