Posted on 06. Sep, 2010 by SNS Research in Idea
We can save buying together? Of course, always do when we buy more, get discounts. But hey, I need only a few of any way you can buy in large quantities and when I get all my friends together. But who says you have your friends over resolved? You can get one easily on the internet without a problem, no matter if you buy one or ten!
Tuángòu – the original concept which loosely translates as team buying or group buying (also known as store mobbing), which started in China. That′s the idea behind a new breed of “group buying” Web sites — at least one of which may be valued at more than $1 billion.
Group buying has been one of the biggest web trends in 2010 and it comes with a simple principle, if there are enough people to buy, it comes with a huge discount. The discounts are so super that sometimes people land up getting 50% to 75% of the product cost. However if a number is not reached, the deal is not viable and does not go through resulting a no deal.
Even investors today see this as a hot trend and millions of dollars are being invested in such group buying sites. The catch here is simple – one single site cannot possibly cover the all the local markets and all the cities of the world. At the end of the day, it’s all saving money, every penny saved is every penny earned!
