Twongo Canada Partners with McDonald’s to Offer Team-Buying Deals
Cary, N.C.-Based Group-Buying Service is the First Social Savings Platform to Partner with Popular International Restaurant Franchise
Cary, NC, March 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Brad Halferty, president and CEO of Twongo, LLC (http://www.twongo.com), a social savings platform launched in 2010 that combines discounts, social media and marketing in a unique team-buying service, has announced that the company’s Kelowna, British Columbia branch is now partnering with international restaurant franchise giant McDonald’s. Through this endeavor, Twongo has begun offering residents discount opportunities at nine of the restaurant’s locations in the Central Okanagan. Twongo is the first ever team-buying, social commerce platform to partner with McDonald’s, and the effort will focus on increasing word-of-mouth marketing and awareness surrounding the regional launch of its McCafé brand. Residents will have access to the discount deals through Twongo’s company website, subscriber e-mails and Twitter and Facebook.
Twongo was first launched in Cary in 2010, and recently expanded into the Kelowna, Vernon, Whistler and Vancouver markets of the British Columbia province of Canada. Subscribers of the social savings platform enjoy significant price reductions in many retail genres such as dining and hospitality, entertainment, automotive, health and wellness, domestic, and lifestyle and beauty. In addition to expanding into British Columbia, Twongo recently gained traction in the Wilmington, N.C. market and is working through a myriad of private and public partnerships to establish presences in major cities across the United States and internationally.
Quotes:
“We are proud to be partnering with McDonald’s to increase their brand awareness in the Canada markets,” said Halferty. “We consider working with a franchise of this caliber upon just recently moving into the market a significant milestone for the company and our ongoing plans for expansion internationally.”

About Twongo, LLC:
Launched in 2010 by Brad Halferty, Twongo, LLC is a Cary, N.C.-based company that combines discounts, social media and marketing in a unique team-buying service, benefitting both businesses and consumers. Derived from the Chinese concept of “tuangou,” or “group buying,” Twongo partners with businesses to offer daily and weekly discount deals via daily subscription e-mails, Facebook, Twitter and Twongo’s website. As more individuals purchase the deals or “buy-in,” the discount increases, resulting in a significant consumer savings on goods and services as well as the acquisition of new customers and word-of-mouth marketing exposure for businesses at the fraction of the cost of traditional advertising. With a rapidly growing local subscriber base, Twongo saved Triangle residents over $1 million during its first year of operation. In addition to the Triangle, the company operates in Wilmington, N.C., and the Kelowna and Whistler markets of British Columbia, Canada. For more information, visit http://www.twongo.com.
