This Little "Webpiggy" Went to the Market to Save Toronto Businesses and Shoppers Money
New social-media based “Group-Buying” sites such as www.webpiggy.com offer consumers a huge discount each day from a local business.
Toronto, Canada, April 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- As the recession continues to thaw, businesses and shoppers are looking online for new ways to connect and save money through a new trend emerging – “group buying websites” like www.webpiggy.com.
Since launching in January, Webpiggy arranges one deep discount with a local business each day based on the concept of purchasing power- the deals only activate if enough people buy it. If there aren't enough buyers, no money exchanges hands and the deal is void.
The offers are posted for a limited amount of time (a day or a weekend) and rely heavily on user-generated word-of-mouth to recruit enough buyers. For the featured business this is the best possible type of performance advertising –exposure to thousands of local consumers through email, word-of-mouth and social media as users talk about and share the deals online and offline with friends. At the end of the day the business has a guaranteed number of customers who have paid up-front (a closed sale) and the buyers have a voucher that gives them a sizable discount.
Deals range from 40-80% off restaurants, spas, gyms, theatre tickets, sporting events, go-karts and anything fun, interesting and around Toronto. The variety and scope of companies featured ensures that users will come across a company they have never heard of with a low-risk option to try the business out. For a businesses there is no up front costs – if the deal goes through, the website takes a fraction of the money collected and sends the business a cheque in advance of the new customers allowing a wide range of businesses to take advantage of this powerful marketing strategy.
Some companies that have been featured already: Mirvish, Mt. Everest Restaurant, T Café, quad Spinning, Original Motorcycle Gourmet Burger, Montfort, Wynn Fitness, Concepts Spa, Salon Libertè.
Webpiggy.com is one of the first sites to offer this buying concept to Canadians.
