2. You can lower your price to increase sales.

what does twoplugs and eeds means

twoPLUGS is an online service marketplace where people sell what they are good at to buy what they need. The name came from a vision where two electric plugs connect, where one plug represents a service and the other plug represents a need.

Hence our slogan: twoPLUGS, a plug for your service and another for your need.

Our currency name, eeds came from the word Needs. We figured eeds is the best word that can be used to meet people needs. We are clearly not gifted at naming things but hey we gave it our best shot lol.
