The Thrill of the Challenge: Finding a Group Buy Deal

OfferMe BDM, Erick Teresa, discusses the process he goes through to find great Group Buy deals for Christmas.

I can't believe we're almost there already. Another year has passed right before our eyes and we'll all look back wondering where the last eleven months went. Chances are, like everyone else, you went through your highs, lows and in betweens, but you're happy you made it. With 2009 coming to a close, we can now look forward to the most exciting time of the year: Christmas. It's that special time for giving and receiving gifts among your closest family, friends and loved ones. It's also an opportunity to say thanks to these special people in your life that have continually supported, loved and cared for you.



Buying a present is never easy and considering Christmas is just around the corner, many e-commerce and retail stores will start flashing “Big Savings” posters in front of your eyes. A lot of different products will also start hitting the market influencing you to buy. And making sure you get a competitive price is a must, which means spending hours comparing prices between different stores from all around town. This tiresome, time consuming process may leave you feeling confused, drained and downright frustrated.

To give you more insight about OfferMe and how we can make your life easier, today I thought I would give you a window into my world.

Every day whether I'm at work, going out or lounging around in front of the television, I look for deals. When I step into the office I look at what our buyers are requesting and immediately start looking for a deal. After scouring a wealth of eCommerce stores and eRetail outlets, I speak with our extensive seller base and negotiate a competitively priced deal, trying to ensure it's one of the best deal on the market.

I also spend late nights and weekends researching which items are popular and how much they are selling for. If I'm watching TV and notice an item for sale during the commercial break, I'll write it down and research it online. If I'm out with my wife when she's shopping for jewellery, shoes, clothes, accessories – the list goes on and on – I'll compare the costs seeing to it that we get the best price. In fact, I currently have a pile of catalogues sitting on my desk that I scour each day, trying to see what's hot and at what price.



Chances are, you probably think my actions are a little crazy or even over the top. I wonder the same thing sometimes, but I actually enjoy it. I am relish the challenge of finding great deals based on your requests. Forget spending your shopping nights and weekends looking for a deal because at OfferMe we do all the hard work for you.

Simply register your interest on an item you want and, if the demand on OfferMe is high enough, we'll do our best to find the best deal we can. Once found, chances are, we'll Group Buy it. Then all you have to do is simply book your item and sit back while your item is delivered right to your door.
