Deals

Not sure if you need another site to buy coupons? It’s a pity, because if you have a Facebook account, you’ll probably try to pull you back into this circulation by all means, because now the largest social network has its own platform.

Officially, deals are being offered so far only in Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Diego and San Francisco. Naturally, coverage will expand to the extent possible and the participation of the users themselves. However, there is no need to worry about it - most likely the new platform will quickly get both sides of the participants due to the tight integration with Facebook and a large audience.

A typical example of a transaction is similar to the one we see in Groupon or other services, plus some FB-specificity. For example, you can buy a coupon directly through Facebook and place it on your wall, or share it with friends. Each transaction is likeable, you can write comments on the wall of the transaction, adding another social layer on top of the usual “coupon site”.

Deals on Facebook will differ from a similar product, Check-In Deals, which were launched last year. The latter work for a couple with Places, and allow the business to offer the client various discounts at the time of the check-in. Quickly, run through and through - you are already in a restaurant or cafe, and get a free bun for your coffee. Ordinary Deals will be traditional - the service or product is redeemed in advance, in larger quantities.

Facebook ambitions are definitely very serious in this direction. Looking at the profits of competitors, it is impossible not to be seduced. Most likely, you will have to play quickly and decisively, since another rival recently appeared on the coupon field - Google .
