Social network provides community & product evaluations

Social Sauce is an add-on feature to our Directory Sauce product. With Social Sauce, you can “turn on” a host of product-related community features that will give your site social networking capabilities to attract your visitors back time and time again. Alongside the Directory Sauce product directory, Social Sauce lets members set up their individual “profile of product usage,” highlighting their experience, expertise and insider-knowledge with every product in the directory that they’ve used in the past. Once they have set their product profile, a member is able to ask and answer question, and communicate with other members directly.

Social Sauce also provides in-depth research tools, including side-by-side product comparison, evaluation tools and the ability to set up groups around specific product or topic-interest. This provides a rich environment for product research and assessment, leading to increased product purchase and affinity.

By adding Social Sauce to your website, you will promote and facilitate deep interaction and affinity as you become the leading authority and the favorite social network of your users.
