How it works
Manairge does three jobs: it turns a WhatsApp message into a listing, it matches the two sides, and it makes sure nobody has to trust the other one. Everything below is the detail behind those three.
Part one
Small business owners do not fill in web forms. So there is no form. The lowest-friction thing a shop owner already does forty times a day is send a WhatsApp message with a photo — that is the entire listing flow.
"Hi, I have a kedai runcit in Setapak, the front lightbox. RM 150 a week. [photo]"
That is enough to create a listing. We reply asking only for what is missing.
"Opening a milk tea branch in Setapak next month. Want foot traffic within 2km. Budget RM 1,200."
Also enough. No campaign builder to learn, no minimum spend to negotiate.
Consent before anything goes public. A message to us is not permission to publish. Nothing appears on the site until the owner confirms in that same chat. Phone numbers are never shown publicly, and are masked even inside the platform.
Part two
Demand briefs sit on one side, available spots on the other. Matching runs on city, category, catchment and budget — then a human checks the shortlist before either side hears about it.
City, placement type, weekly budget, dates free. This alone removes most mismatches.
Spots with real scan history rank above untested ones for the same price. That is the whole moat.
Early on, every match is eyeballed before sending. Bad matches burn phone numbers, and numbers are the asset.
Owner sees the artwork and the money. Advertiser sees the spot and the numbers. Either can say no.
When several advertisers want the same spot for the same week, the owner sees all of them side by side and picks one. The rest are declined automatically and refunded in full — no spot is ever double-sold, and no owner is ever pressured to take the highest bid.
Part three
The placement is the permanent asset. The advertiser is a temporary tenant. That single design decision is why owners never reprint a poster and why scan history accumulates instead of resetting.
Printed once, stays forever. It resolves through our server, which knows which advertiser is currently renting that spot and forwards accordingly.
Used on: shop fronts, vehicles, packaging, counters, uniforms
One short link per spot. Click, source and downstream conversion all resolve to that placement.
Used on: Telegram, Pinterest, Facebook, group chats, profile bios
A short spoken or written code. Redeeming it attributes the customer to that placement without any link at all.
Used on: platforms that strip or disable outbound links
Each channel has a different tolerance for outbound links. Video platforms in particular tend to make captions and comments non-clickable, leaving only the profile bio. A placement measurable by one carrier only becomes unsellable on those channels — so every placement ID can express itself as all three, and the right one is chosen per channel.
| Channel | Best carrier | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Physical spot (shop, vehicle, bag) | QR code | Customer is present with a phone in hand |
| Telegram channel or group | Link | Links are clickable and previewed |
| Link | Pins carry a destination URL natively | |
| Facebook page or group | Link | Clickable in posts and comments |
| Short-video platforms | Promo code | Captions and comments commonly block links |
| Instagram stories or bio | Link + code | Link works in bio; code covers everything else |
Part four
The most common reason a deal like this falls apart is that one side is asked to go first. Escrow removes that question entirely.
Before anything is printed. DuitNow, bank, card or USDT.
Not the advertiser's account, not the owner's. Held and visible to both.
Owner sends one time-stamped photo of the ad in place. The hold releases.
No proof, no payout, full refund. There is nothing to argue about.
Proof photos stay public. Every past campaign leaves a time-stamped photo on that placement's page. Over time that gallery is worth more to the owner than any description — it is what makes the next advertiser book without asking questions.
Whichever side you are on, one message gets a straight answer — including "your spot is probably not worth listing yet", if that is the honest one.
Questions are free.
