Eating out, Shopping, Sightseeing, Taking holidays, Spa treatments, among others. These are what many Filipinos love to indulge. Team dinner? Team Building? Group Outing or Reunion?
Buyanihan.com offers you discounts ranging from 50 to 90 percent on Goods and Services. Buyanihan is the first ever group buying website in the Philippines where Filipinos can find the best deals or discounts offered by commercial establishments in the country. They’re called discount vouchers or coupons and consumers in the US, UK and some countries in Asia have been buying them online to avail themselves of items or services sold at half their usual prices.
How Buyanihan.com's Deals and Offers work?
1. The deals are featured for a limited time only, not more than seven days. Buyers will be asked to sign up for the discounts and will be charged only if the minimum number of customers is reached and that will make the deal valid.
2. Group buying adds excitement to the buyer’s experience because those who like the discount promo so much will have to pass on the information to their social network to make the deal successful. If not enough sign up for the offer, the deal will not push through.
3. The easiest way to know about the different discounts being promoted is to sign up as a subscriber. Subscribers can even recommend to them what businesses they like to be featured on the website. “When consumers suggest deals, this gives companies 100% confidence that what is being offered is what buyers want" says Buyanihan.com founder Eddie Lee.
Cost-effective business strategy for Establishments.
Victor Fajardo, Buyanihan.com Vice President for Business Development says, “We’re the first to bring to the Philippines this business model. It is a cost-effective business strategy because a company can continue generating income even during their ‘off-season’ or ‘off-peak hours’. It is also a guaranteed means to increase brand/company awareness and bring in new customers to the business without resorting to paid advertisements. In a nutshell, the business, the brand and the customer base keeps growing. It’s a win-win.”
Advertising through E-newsletters, E-mail, Facebook, Twitter...
Eddie Lee concurs, “Companies, big or small, can turn their non-utilized capacities into upfront cash sales. Buyanihan.com features one deal at a time so that the company offering a deal enjoys the spotlight to itself. Through the website, our merchant-partners can reach directly customers 24x7. We promote the deals through e-newsletters, e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and other social media. In like manner, customers will share the information virally if they like the deal.”
