If you’ve wanted to provide a daily or weekly coupon to your local customers and prospects, Signpost might be worth a closer look. Pricing is a flat $99 per month and a 15 percent (maximum) commission to sites that generate the click-through. Ideally, they would allow you to start filling in some details or checking out the dashboards or more than “hey, we’ll call you.” As noted above, they are transparent with their pricing and how it works. Not a big deal, but that wasn’t my expectation. So, I tried to sign up and now I’m waiting for a sales rep to call me. Signpost requires your email and phone and after you click “sign up” it says they will contact you shortly.

You pay a commission to the content partner that is displaying your ad (via the Signpost system, of course) and they promise it is never more than 15 percent.

Signpost is a new venture-backed daily deal service that that lets small and medium sized businesses set up their own daily deal campaigns and online marketing offers on a DIY (do it yourself) basis.
