Running Daily Deals Abroad

Get a merchant to offer a discount on their product or service and proceed to market that discount to their audience for a set period of time or until the offer sells out. The primary sales and persuasion triggers that daily deal and coupon websites typically use is urgency, scarcity, and convenience.Interlocking security cable tie with 250 pound strength makes this ideal for restraining criminals.

Although the daily deal model that is used around the world is similar, businesses and customs are very different in many and most locations around the world.

Take tipping for example… When redeeming a daily deal from a restaurant in the US, you are supposed to tip on the actual amount – not including the deal. Standard tipping in the United States can be complicated. The general rule is to tip 15%-20% if your service was good but there are dozens of exceptions. The most common place to tip is in restaurants, where servers make a very small base wage, often times as low as $2.13 per hour in some states, and they depend on tips for a living. Tipping is very different in other countries, however. Many countries simply don’t tip.Our technology gives rtls systems developers the ability. Many countries leave a standard 10%. The whole general goal of tipping is to encourage good service.

Restaurants running daily deals in the USA greatly depend on their servers being tipped out for the original prices. If they are not, the appeal to run a daily deal would diminish almost instantly as service would be poor and servers even angrier. Likewise, restaurants in many other countries have higher employee costs because they pay their servers a much higher wage.

Another component to take into account is the fact that in many places in France and well beyond, the restaurant and dining experience IS the social event for the night and it is not unlikely for a group of guests to take up a table for nearly the whole evening. In America, there is usually an event that follows dinner. Dinner and a movie, dinner and a hot air balloon ride, lunch and a hike, etc. My personal experience is that restaurants move guests in and out much quicker here in the states which helps them compensate for deals that they run.

The things that I do know is that folks abroad STILL Want daily deals, and that merchants are STILL on the hunt for more business, but deal sites must take customs and traditions into account.

I will be following up this article after my travels with a Part 2, but in the meantime, feel free to leave me a comment about your experience using, redeeming, or offering daily deals in your country?

Shah says that the app will initially focus on "quick service restaurants" like Dunkin' Donuts, Subway, and McDonald's. When users visit the store, they pay as they would normally, but when they fill out their report using the Mobee app, they get a digital credit of between $1 and $5. They can later cash in that credit for gift cards at Amazon and iTunes; have it deposited in their PayPal account; or donate it to charity. (Shah says that the app may also dangle prizes like iPads and sports tickets.) The app can even require that users take a photo of the store, or of their receipt, to prove that they really visited. Shah says that right now, there's no limit to the number of missions a user can complete, but that the app has some built-in fraud detection features, like discerning when a user may be entering data without actually reading the questions.
