Chicago-Based Deal Site Opens With Lollapalooza Ticket Giveaway
WhereYouShop enters the booming and competitive world of the online deal industry by giving away 500 Lollapalooza tickets...
Online, June 27, 2011 (Newswire.com) - WhereYouShop, the newest deal website to hit the market, is generating buzz in Chicagoland courtesy of its buzz-worthy promotional giveaway: 500 single-day Lollapalooza tickets to be given away throughout the month of July.
"We are entering the online deal craze with a unique perspective, and bringing 500, free Lollapalooza tickets to the table, just sweetens the deal," said Zachary Bambacht, WYS Promotional Manager. "Our website is all about giving subscribers superior deals on products and services only in their customized, street-level shopping areas.
"We understand a Chicagoan may work in the South Loop, go to school in Evanston and live in Gurnee, which makes a deal in the West Loop inconvenient and unattractive. A buyer might go out of their way once or twice, but the likeliness of being a loyal customer, sadly, looks like Chicago's chances of an endless summer."
With this in mind, WhereYouShop uses their patent-pending software to allow users to define their shopping areas.
"Our site is for consumers who want deals where they already shop, wine or dine and for companies who want more than a one-time sell," said Bambacht. "We are also the first deal site to offer a keyword-based search engine, which allows people to view ongoing deals in their work, school or home neighborhoods."
Upon initial review, WhereYouShop's business model may look familiar: WhereYouShop teams up with companies to offer deep discounts; Subscribers can view deals either on WhereYouShop.com, by email or the website's Facebook and Twitter pages; and, to redeem, WhereYouShop vouchers can be printed or shown to businesses via smart phones. That's where the similarities end.
WhereYouShop users benefit from WhereYouShop's search engine, which creators promise will always return the best-value deals located WhereYouShop.
"Ongoing, searchable offers, our patent-pending technology and our email policy put us and any competition miles apart," said Bambacht. "If we don't have a deal that suits your pre-designated neighborhoods, we'll leave you alone and email you when we do."
Where You Shop expects to enter other markets shortly; a Las Vegas location is preparing to launch soon.
