Site outage this morning
We had a slight problem at 8:25am this morning that caused the site to be unavailable for a few minutes. We’re sorry about this and have extended all auctions that were due to close between 8:25am and 9:25am by 1 hour.
Treat Me launches mobile deal platform
Our group buying website Treat Me launched Treat Me Now yesterday, a new instant deal platform that will see people able to sign up to receive great deals from businesses in real-time.
Treat Me Now (www.treatme.co.nz/now/) is a new way for deals to be distributed in New Zealand.
It’s cool for consumers because it’s totally convenient and gives them a world of choice, and cool for businesses because they can create, upload, and unleash deals when it suits them. More...
Back to the future for Daily Deals
We hate delaying any new initiative, but sadly we won’t be kicking off the 1-day powered Daily Deals on 1 November as planned.
Delivering a strong consumer-centric mix for Daily Deals is critical and we’re not quite there yet. As a result we will continue with the existing form of Daily Deals, and hold fire on the relaunch until next year. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Meanwhile if you’ve got some quality products in good numbers that you can offer to our members at a great price we’d love to hear from you. Just flick us a note through the Daily Deals contact page.
Trade Me Jobs Bounty Hunter
We’ve just launched a new section on Trade Me Jobs called Bounty Hunter which should help job advertisers find the people they’re after.
Through Bounty Hunter, you can forward Bounty Hunter job listings to friends who are suited to the positions. If your friend gets the job and they mention you referred the job to them, you could receive $1,000.
