The Pros of Online Group Buying for Businesses

There are benefits of Online Group Buying for businesses people. As in the businesses people will get advantages of doing Online Group Buying. Else, what is the purpose of the businesses people doing that?


By using the technique of online group buying, businesses people can push away their old stocks or old models stocks from their company. Some of the old stocks will not have people purchase because there is new models to replace it and people tend to look for the latest product but not old version product. So, businesses people can use the technique of online group buying to push away their old stocks by having some discounts and promotions, or vouchers. For example, few outlets of Secret Recipe has not much businesses during 6pm to 10pm and the cakes in their refrigerator cannot store for more than a day. Secret Recipe can come out with a voucher or promotion that only valid for 6pm to 10pm and only for cake, maybe buy one free one? Or maybe buy one and the second one has 30% discount offer? Depends on the company. Then, Secret Recipe can fill the seats and at the same time, Secret Recipe can clear the cakes during the cold timing.


Besides that, by using the technique of online group buying, it is still profitable for businesses. Why said so? Let's say maybe Tenji has promotion on online group buying and the price is only RM40 and the normal price is RM66. The company is still earning because consumer probably can eat for RM20 plus only. Therefore, online group buying is a smart choice. Other than that, another example is Tenji, they gave consumer 20% discount offer, and when consumer bring the first friend to dine in, then the consumer will get 30% discount offer and the friend will get 20% discount. Then the flow comes like that, a person bring a person and another person bring another person. That's the benefits for the businesses by using the technique of online group buying.

The Tips of Online Group Buying

Why people used to shop online with a group of people? There must be reasons. It might be some people who just shop without thinking rationally. Maybe they just buy because they think it is worth. Or maybe they just buy the product following the popularity.

Now, we're here to share the tips of online group buying. Shop rationally, think twice before you buy the product.

1. Think carefully, count smartly.
Think twice and calculate, is that really a good deal? Consumer can do some research by asking friends and family around or went somewhere to find out. Because we won't know the actual price of the product. But just because they stated there 50% offer, people believes it. But it might be the seller purposely raise up the actual price and says that it was a promotion, so that people believe it and they are earning. It is not possible that the seller do this but they are losing money. It might be possible they do this way for advertising their product, who knows? Therefore, consumer has to find out the truth and the actual price of the product before they decide to purchase.


2. Read the find print carefully and contact the merchant.
Some of the deal has terms and conditions on their fine print such as "only valid on weekdays" or "3 days in advance is required for appointments". Every different deal has different terms. Consumer has to read carefully then only decide wants to deal or not. Some of the deal does not written the information correctly or does not written information on their fine print. Therefore consumer has to take action to contact the merchant to find out whether how it actually works.


3. Beware of the numbers of buyers and be flexible with redemption dates.
Some of the company will set the limited numbers of buyers so that they would not be over purchase and they can handle they job. Imagine if there are 1000 consumer have bought the voucher and they voucher are only valid for 3 months. The company might be full of booking everyday and the voucher will be useless. Hence, consumer has to beware of the numbers of buyers and also the date of expires.


4. Beware of phishing sites.
Be careful with phishing or fake websites that  looks like a real group buying website. The phishing sites might cash out your money indirectly through paying transaction.
