Okay, so recently I'm having exams so I didn't do anything worth blogging about.
But this one sounds interesting so here I go! =P
Imagine this, you go to a fish market to buy some salmon. But because salmon is so expensive, you try to save cost by buying in bulk.
But then you realise that if you buy too much, the last of it wouldn't be fresh or you might not even finish it. It would also defeat the purpose of saving cost as you are paying more in advance. However, regardless of the amount you purchase, the stall will continue to sell their fish at market price to the other customers.
So you figured that if you gather all the customers to buy as a group, all of you could enjoy the discounted price and only buy the portion you need.
But if everyone does that, won't the owner suffer some losses?
The answer is yes, and no.
Yes, they would be losing in terms of profit due to the reduced price of their stock.
No, because they are also able to finish selling their current stock earlier and bring in new stock.
In business terms, it means a higher turnover rate which is a good thing. Especially when it comes to products that can only be kept for a while before it loses its value. (such as meat and vegetables)
They would also gain in terms of permanent customers which means better business in the future!
It's a WIN-WIN situation!
So, a group of young people assembled themselves and created GroupsMore! It means buying in Groups to get More discounts!
(or somewhere along those lines :p)
Every week, they'll come up with a new deal that they themselves would buy and share. That way, they'll know if others would do the same.
Since you'll only get the discount when you buy in groups, there is a minimum purchase before the deal is on. Once the target is reached within the given time period, the deal is automatically on. But if the target is not reached in time (which rarely happens), the buyers will be fully refunded within 7days.
Personally, I think their deals are the best and I myself have bought and shared many deals.
For example, I've bought and recommended the discount for ice-skating at Pyramid Ice (RM6). I referred it to my friend and she bought 20 of those for a club event!
Recently, I also bought the RM1 Gelare ice-cream voucher. Since it was only RM1, I was a little greedy and bought 30! =P
(Who wants to go e@Curve for ice-cream? On me! =D)
Deals I plan to buy:
Half price for futsal in very new and nice court!
RM60/10=RM6/hr per person! =D
Huge burger for only RM12.50! =D
RM1 burger! That's cheaper than Ramlee burgers! =D
Worth every penny! Half price? Count me in!! =D
So what are you waiting for?
