As a business owner, someone who sells to businesses and a life long tight-ar$s, this sounds pretty useful and exciting to me.
It will be interesting to see if a deal site can convince businesses to do things that are sort of discretionary; the big success with Groupon isn't about consumers buying the mundane (not so much "if 40 of my friends buy 1kg of chicken breast to cook with, we'll get a great deal!") but more the skydiving or treat/discretionary stuff. -----Original Message----- From: silicon-beach-australia@googlegroups.com [mailto:silicon-beach-australia@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jeromy Evans Sent: Friday, 25 February 2011 10:58 AM To: Silicon Beach Australia Subject: [SiliconBeach] B2B Deals sites - the next big battle front? Just last Friday one of the guys at SB Drinks pitched his idea for a B2B Deals site, which I thought could be useful for commoditised services like stationary and print. I remember thinking a lot of businesses must be jumping into this space. Coincidentally today Anthill Magazine launched AntMart, their B2B Deals site (http://antmart.com.au/). James seems to enjoy testing business models and he has a good network of businesses around the mag. What are the thoughts of the group? Is this the next big battle front, or is too early for Australian businesses? cheers, Jeromy Evans www.linkedin.com/in/jeromyevans -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
