Businesses Save With Daily Deals

Recently M3 Deals and Better Business Bureau teamed up to provide an exciting new resource for consumers and local businesses through CentralOhioB2BDeals.com. The newly launched site will function much like other successful daily deal sites such as Groupn, Living Social, kgbdeals and Google Offers. However, Central Ohio B3B Deals will have a unique twist. All the services and products will be from local businesses to local businesses with a goal of reducing shipping and other operating costs. Better Business Bureau accredited businesses can sign up to offer and receive daily deals. The fact that all daily deals are offered by companies accredited by the BBB increases buyer confidence knowing that all business are held to BBB Standards of Trust.

While mainstream daily deal sites have helped consumers save millions of dollars on just about every thing they could want to eat, buy, see or do, no site has previously specifically focused on the needs of businesses to reduce their cost of operations through daily deals.

CentralOhioB2BDeals.com offers business an opportunity to network with new business leads. Participating businesses will have the ability to buy and sell all the items they need to operate their businesses at substantial savings. Money saving daily deal opportunities unique to business including janitorial services, accounting services, web design, photography, equipment providers and movers and countless other business orientated daily deals will be offered. In addition to featured daily deals, the company also offers “side deals” on a several services and products business owners need every day. Central Ohio B2B Deals offers an incentive for businesses to refer their friends and business associates. Refer friends and earn $10. There is no limit to the amount of referrals subscribers can earn.

Launched in April 2011, RapidBuyr.com is another B2B daily deal site catering to a specific market of small and mid-sized business. Initially the company offered national daily deals and has since launched local deals in many major cities through an exclusive collaboration with American City Business Journals (ACBJ). Featuring deep discounts, the daily deals will offer buyers 30 to 70 per cent off on services and products important to the small business market including software, hardware, IT outsourcing, web development and design. Other offered daily deals include office furniture, office equipment, local services and local locations for business meetings and events.

As businesses discover the power of daily deals, not just for selling their products and services, but also for saving money on the diverse array of services and products needed to support their business, a proliferation of Groupon clones is not surprising.

“What’s so great about the daily deals space is that it has no limits. It works in every space,” stated John Amato, the founder of MarketSharing.com, a soon to relaunch daily deals site that targets small business. “You can look at any geographical area, and they’re crushing it, or any vertical—wine, travel, anything—and they’re crushing it.“

 Both consumer and business owner remain enthused with daily deals. Daily Deals are a marketing strategy that works.  According to a BIA/Kelsey estimate, daily deal sites have topped $3 billion in generated revenue and are expected to reach $4 billion by 2015.
