landoflord 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 Hello,I'm trying the concept of group buying for home furnishing under BTO.sg. Something like Groupon. I'm open to suggestions and comments, but mainly do any of you think that it is feasible? Or the problems I'll meet.I believe its really depend on the product and the company itself. Example a dinning table cost 1k now grp buy 30%.If this table is from some well known company or brand.yes ppl might want to buy because they know this product or company. But if ppl dunno abt this do u think they will. Plus Groupon mean to say u only got 2-3 days or a week to think about this. That nt enough time to think about it, u might nt have the time to even drop by this company to take a look at the actual product before the deal is close.I guess most ppl will like to see and feel the actual product when come to furniture.But if its electronic stuff that a diff story. just need need to name the brand and the model.I guess the worse case u will face is what if the picture u see in the website is the same as the actual product.

jumpabout 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2011 Hmm. That sounds logical. But the 3 days thing is a restriction due to Paypal cos of their money holding policy, so i guess there's not much choice to go about it. Is 3 days really that rush to make a decision, especially if the discount is >30% than retail price? If it's held over a weekend, people can actually go down the shop front to take a look. Or another way I can think of is to have a preview a few days before the actual deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
