Consumers get to save lots of money at their next outing and local businesses get word of mouth exposure on Facebook and Twitter.\u201d says Karl Chong, founder and managing director of Beeconomic.<\/p>\n \u201cThe concept of group buying power has been around for decades. But Facebook and Twitter have made it possible to coordinate group discounts in a much bigger market. Beeconomic does just that \u2013 we set a target for the minimum number of buyers to \u201cBy featuring only high quality merchants, Beeconomic positions itself as a city guide on cool things to do at an attractive discount, rather than a coupon service.\u201d<\/p>\n With Beeconomic, everyone is a winner (of a great bargain)<\/strong> Here is something new for Singapore.

\nactivate a deal. If enough people buy, the deal is on; otherwise no one gets the deal,\u201d Chong adds.<\/p>\n
\nBeeconomic is able to negotiate deals with businesses in Singapore that are only possible by guaranteeing a certain volume of sales. It is also beneficial for consumers as Beeconomic is really a platform for organising all forms of collective action \u2013 including group discounts \u2014 and it lets people sign up for a Beeconomic deal and only be charged if the \u201ctipping point\u201d is reached*. This removes the risk of participating, because customers know that they only pay if enough people join to get the discount. \u201cWe feel that Beeconomic is going to change the way businesses in Singapore reach new customers,” says Lori Villafuerte, general manager of bliss spa, Singapore.
