Treat Me launches mobile deal platform

Written by Paul in General at 9:49am, Tue 1 Nov 2011

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.

The first Treat Me Now deals are set to emerge in Auckland and Wellington on 1 December. Businesses can sign up now, with zero commission charged for deals loaded before 24 November and going live between 1 and 22 December. The plan is to extend Treat Me Now into other centres in 2012.

Treat Me Now will have an interesting angle in relation to unused deals. It’s going to be impulse-proof, so if you buy a deal and don’t get around to using it, you’ll get a credit you can use to purchase other deals.

People will be able to buy deals via a new Treat Me Now mobile app, and Treat Me Now deals will also be displayed on a dedicated section of Treat Me’s website.
