3. Introduction to
Tuángòu (pronounced "twangoo"), which loosely translates as team buying
or group buying (also known as store mobbing), is a recently developed
shopping strategy originating in the People's Republic of China. Several
people - sometimes friends, but possibly strangers connected over the
internet - agree to approach a vendor of a specific product in order to haggle
with the proprietor as a group in order to get discounts. The entire group
agrees to purchase the same item. The shoppers benefit by paying less, and
the business benefits by selling multiple items at once.

4. Traditional Buying?
Buyer Restaurant offering 10% discount on
their special menu
In the traditional buying discounts offered by Sellers is generally less as the
targeted users who respond are very less and hence the Sellers can not afford to
give a huge discount. The number per day may be between 1 to 10 customers
availing the discounts. Every seller can afford a huge discount if they are assured
that the average discount availing customers will be minimum 50 to 100 0r more
daily when they offer a discount.

5. Has the Seller made good business?
• His business has only increased max by 10 customers for that particular day when
he has offered 10% or 70% discount .
• Considering it he will only get 200- 300 customers in a month.
• His business is not popular to attract the right targeted customers as he has not
advertised his business locally?
• He does not have a record of testimonials. What people like about him?
• No database of people who love what he is offering
• No dedicated online presence as he is a local business owner
How can he make good business?
• If he gets on an average of 50-100 customers using his discounted rate daily. He
can offer more discount to attract new customers if they are buy in bulk.
• How he can market a particular deal and make sure he reaches the right people he
is a small local business and does not have time or money to go online..

6. The Answer
• To achieve great results and make every discount
campaign a success & advertise/market his business
at a very cost effective rate is GROUP BUYING.
• Group buying sites let Sellers reduce customer
acquisition costs, reach new audiences, test and
market promotions, and sell excess inventory.
• Manufacturers that want to offload excess inventory
could also be benefited by Group Buying.

7. How Group Buying Works
• To illustrate this lets take an example, say The website Owner negotiate a
deal with a Italian Restaurant – if he bring 25 customers, how much of a
discount will the restaurant provide. Say, the restaurant agrees to provide
a 20% discount if he guarantees 25 new customers. So, he announce the
deal on his site and the deal becomes active only if at least 25 customers
buy the deal. If less than 25 customers sign up for the deal, the deal isn't
valid and all the restaurant gets is free publicity / marketing via his
website.
• Its a win-win for everyone involved – customers get a better deal, retailers
get more customers and the site owner take a cut from each unit sold.
Wondering How the Site Owner will get
his 25 customers……… Why the 25
customers will come to his website
only.. Will be explained in forthcoming
slides

8. Restaurant offering 10% discount on their
special menu
The Online Group Buying is the only solution that
will help every Seller to offer huge discounts as
the Online sites have pre registered customers
who are looking for the similar deals. Hence the
online sites can assure the Seller that they will get
minimum 50-100 or X number of customers every
-time.

9. In a nutshell
• Who are the major player, how they do it and what
the customer, the seller and the site owner will get
from it and what they do for it.
• How the Seller gets benefited?
•
How the Website owner manages everything &helps
the seller to make money?
• How the Customer is benefited and how he
manages his account on the site?

• Type 1 :- The deals get closed within 24hrs and if the “X” number of people buy the
deal the payments are processed for every users who bought the deal. If “X” no. of
people buy the deals within 24hrs then the deal ends and no user can buy it anymore.
• Type 2 :- If the “X” number of people buy the deal within 24hrs the deal does not get
closed and allows more users to buy the deal and after 24 hrs the payments are
processed for every users who bought the deal.
• Type 3 :- In this type of deal the admin adds the deal for 24 hrs and add the range as
mentioned below. The deal is active for 24hrs and in the end based on the no. of users
each user will get the deal for the same amount and then the payments will be

value, but can be lowered by adding the range of buyers.

18. Deal Aggregator
• Type 5 :- The deals are crawled from various popular daily deal websites and displayed on a
common platform. The deals are programmed to be automatically added to respective cities
from various sites. As the deals are crawled and aggregated on a common website it acts
more like a Spider crawler on the various websites hence they are termed as Deal
Aggregators The revenue generation model for this websites is mainly through affiliates
program and google advertising. Eg of the websites are :- Yipit, Dailyd, thedealmap etc.. As
the affiliate link is integrated by us every user that is referred from the site generates a % or
fixed $ per referral when the user makes a purchase on the original site which is crawled. We
crawl the website using RSS, API, or write a custom crawler & parser to read the XML from
the original site and link it dynamically with the affiliate link so the user can track their
earnings & referrals. Our site works with Groupon, Living Social, DealMap and more. We can
even add any other Groupon clones to aggregate their deals too into your website. The price,
the savings, the image, the buy button - basically everything is done automatically for you.
Advantages of the Deal Aggregator
The deals crawling from various sites are set on auto pilot so that the Admin or the website
owner does not need to do anything.
The Google Ads revenue is generated irrespective whether the user buy the deal or not by
clicking on the Affiliate link when they click on any deal on your site.
The deals open and close as per the original site.

19. The Deals from various sites are displayed together at a single place.
The deals from this sites can be shared using facebook & twitter as well. The
owner makes money as all the users click on the affiliate links to buy the deals on
the main websites like Groupon, livingsocial deals, KGB deals, Tipr,
Thedeals.com etc
