Europe's First B2B & B2C Voucher Site Launches in the UK, and Promises to Put an End to the High Commissions Charged by Voucher Sites.

Everydayoffers.co.uk is a voucher site with a difference. It is the only voucher site in Europe to market B2B services such as lawyers and accountants. The site, owned by renowned marketing firm Naxtech is also the only voucher site not to charge business owners a commission per sale. Competitors such as Groupon and KGB Deals are notorious for taking up to a 50% commission per sale, leaving retailers very little room to break even, thus forcing them to become reliant on up-selling. However, everydayoffers charges businesses a flat fee which starts from £100 to list their deal on the site (currently completely Free until the 1st of May 2012). Additionally, the deal can be listed for up to twelve months, or until the deal is sold out. The policy is fairer to businesses, and can help to stimulate the economy in a season when it is most needed. Steve Mitchel, who works for the Castle Inn Hotel and Conference Centre in Surrey echoed the fact that voucher sites need to be fairer: "We placed a deal on Groupon, and we just about broke even. The deal price was £45, and Groupon took a 40% commission. Out of the 600 vouchers that we sold, we only up-sold to 200 people. Additionally, Groupon pay the businesses once the voucher is redeemed. This meant we had 2 - 3 customers that had cancelled their purchase with Groupon, but we did not know about it. It costed us a lot of time in administration."

Steve has a deal listed on everydayoffers.co.uk, and made his first sale on the site within 24 hours of the offer going live.

Valerie Lothian, an Author and business coach from London was saddened by the treatment she received from Living Social.

"I tried to place a deal on Living Social, but they turned me down because my services are B2B."

Groupon recently have recently come under fire from The Office of Fair Trading, and have been given just three months to improve their practices. The consumer watchdog gave the site 6 area's to improve in, including refund and cancellation policies in accordance with current regulations and accurate, honest and transparent reference prices on deals where adverts which compare an original 'reference' price against the sale price.

EveryDayOffers.co.uk is not only fair and transparent, but the point of sale takes place on the businesses' website - meaning the trader receives the funds straight away. Deals are researched thoroughly beforehand, and the pricing points are investigated too. The site itself has an ease of functionality, and has a feature similar to Google Maps which makes it easier to spot local deals, which is essential for driving back repeat custom. With voucher sites increasingly being scrutinised for their practice to both consumers and business owners, it's evident that there is a need for alternatives in the market, and everydayoffers.co.uk presents a real voucher site that is fair to both consumer and businesses. Steve Mitchel from the Castle Inn Hotel and Conference Centre confirms this:

"In my opinion, given the choice between Groupon, KGB Deals and Everydayoffers, I believe business owners would go with everydayoffers because they are fairer. I believe the site has a good chance of getting a big share of the market."
