Is there a new way of shopping that would take the internet community to the next evolutionary level in our shopping practices? Yes, a correct mix of Social networking and the group shopping has sounded to be a possible answer. Such an innovative shopping methodology would not require using the credit card on line. Shoppers would bargain using web site but they will buy from their local stores. An aggregated shoppers group will be allowed to acquire quotes for their groups and a best quote will be picked from them and served to all in the group. One important feature of this shopping type is that it promotes the local business. Shoppers would be requested to get the quotes from their local stores for a group of people formed with the help of a web platform.
How will it work?
Any one who intends to buy a product should register their intentions to buy on a public web platform. The web platform will form shoppers into small groups that are intending to buy a product. These groups will be virtual since the details about the group members shall not be revealed to the other shoppers in the same group. When the web platform is able to form a group it would randomly pick up a few from the group and notify them about such group-formation. Those selected member representatives will be invited to acquire quotes for their groups and submit them to the web platform. Upon receipt of multiple quotes from the selected representatives the platform will evaluate them and pick the best one and send it to every one in the group. The members then can go to shop and buy the item in person on terms of the final quote that was served by the site.
Benefits of this new innovative shopping model :
Every one wants to enjoy the feeling of buying goods cheaper, that too the happiness doubles up when they themselves bargain and win the cheaper prices. Bargaining is human instinct and it needs to be satiated through healthy, happier and safer ways.
Though the traditional way of group bargaining may bring huge savings, they do not happen often due to several practical reasons. For example, one may not have trust in some one's bargain capabilities or one may not find others to bind into group in time or one may not have a huge friends and relative circles. The shoppers may get the groups easily in such social network based group shopping platforms and will not encounter any such awkward situations that generally occur when they bargain for known group of friends or relatives.
Triangular Quote Bidding
Even Vendors will also allowed to present their quotations ahead of group formations. The web platform also can try to make efforts in bringing enough number of quotations that will make the bargain much effective in bringing down the prices. This healthy triangular competition for winning a group will offer equal opportunity to every one in the game.
Shoppers are welcome to give their feedbacks and suggestions on this innovative shopping model.
