Power of social e-commerce for your shop
Group Buy brings the most acclaimed & universally proven social e-commerce feature to your shop. Now in a jiffy, enable customers to buy products together with their friends & family, driving overall orders & customer growth efficiently.
Why Group Buy?
Better than traditional e-commerce marketing
Traditional e-commerce has relied on marketing to each shopper individually to get sales & growth. This leads to higher acquisition & advertising costs for businesses. With the increasing adoption of social media and instant messaging apps like WhatsApp, every user has the potential to become a promoter, create awareness, and influence other people in their social network.
Customers bring more customers
Group Buy steers customers to share the group-buy deal in their network to get the discounted price. Such organic invite & product recommendation coming from a friend or family member makes people join in the deal quickly.
Advantages
- Makes shopping a fun social experience for your shoppers
Group buying products online replicates the established offline shopping behavior of people buying things together with their friends & family in stores. Discussing a product on apps like WhatsApp before buying brings a pleasant social angle to online shopping.
- Brings customer trust & store validation
A user knows best about which of their friends are likely to join them for a given store & product based on their interest. For a friend, a direct message personally inviting them & sharing the deal goes a long way in building immediate trust & validation for the product and also the store.
