Deals

    Not sure if you need another website to buy coupons? It’s a pity, because if you have a Facebook account, they will probably try to drag you into this cycle again by all means, since now the largest social network has its own platform for this.

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

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

    Facebook deals will be different from a similar product, Check-In Deals, which were launched last year. The latter work in tandem with Places, and allow businesses to offer customers various discounts at the time of check-in. Quickly, break through right through - you are already in a restaurant or cafe, and get a free bun for your coffee. Conventional Deals will be traditional - a service or product is redeemed in advance, in larger quantities.

    Definitely, Facebook’s ambitions are very serious in this direction. Looking at the profits of competitors, you can not help but be seduced. Most likely, you will have to play quickly and decisively, as another rival recently appeared on the field with coupons - Google .
