Australia’s First Niche Business Group Buying Site Goes Live

Sqwark!, as the first business group buying site, aims to cut Australian online retailers’ purchasing costs and help them grow their businesses, at the same time as providing suppliers to them with a new, totally performance-based marketing channel.
Sqwark! generally offers limited numbers of deals for a short duration. Taking its first deal as the example, it is an Australia-wide online accounting setup and integration offer at $99 for $1450 value from Dolman Bateman Chartered Accountant, with only 5 available.

OurDeal offers cheap deals for cheap dates

Group buying site OurDeal has launched a new offering to allow its customers to hide from their date that they are using a discount voucher.

Through “Friendly Date” deals, you can enjoy food in the great restaurants without leaving a hole in your wallet; have no menu restrictions, so you and your date can order what you want; and there can no vouchers.

For me, the highlight of this offer is that no one will know I use a group buying deal, as the bill will not reflect my voucher and I just need to slip my discreet booking card into the bill. That is really cool.
