ePerks has an aggressive pricing model. It will charge a fee for providers to be listed on ePerks.com so for example, a car dealership can get exclusivity within a 50-mile radius for $1K per month. In addition, ePerks will take a 19% referral fee on any real estate transactions and return to the buyer 80% of that fee.

ePerks plans to make these offers worth it by driving a lot of traffic to the site. It is launching a marketing campaign with nationwide radio ads, TV commercials and online ads throughout Q3 and early Q4 of 2007. Its radio ads have already begun playing nationwide starting July 30.
