 |
|
Dealicious is a social commerce company in Korea for foreigners. The website is in English and will offer lots of coupons on things like spas, restaurants, bars, etc,
The owners are throwing a HUGE launch party in Hongdae on Saturday the 16th. It's going to be a BLAST!!!! It only costs 1,000 won if you buy the ticket in advance on their website http://www.dealicious.kr/ (that's 90% off!!!!!!!!!)
According to their website, the Rocktigers are playing (if you don't know about them, you NEED to check them out), there's going to be a DJ, you get one free beer, and there's a HUGE raffle going on.
I've been in Korea for awhile now and this is the first company I have seen that is FOR foreigners. It's a great concept! So, please goto their website http://www.dealicious.kr/ or "like" them on their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/DealiciousKorea
Let's support companies that support us!! |

Wow the amount of social commerce companies popping up lately...
My friend just got a job at Groupon Korea which is spending tonnes on advertising lately. Kupang and Ticketmonster advertise allover Facebook. WeMakePrice ads at the movie theatre. And my girlfriend just started a campus specific social commerce site with her friends. |

Are there enough English speakers (I presume this is what is ACTUALLY meant by "FOR FOREIGNERS") to make this work?
And why's it so exclusionary? It seems to me that excluding 99% of the people who live in this country doesn't seem too wise.
Good luck. |

There is, if you had no competition. The problem is these social commerce sites are a dime a dozen and putting up a website doesn't have a high operating cost. And i guess you didn't notice their site has a Korean version.
I think these sites are doomed to fail. The success depends on the deals being offered and the bigger names will inevitably squeeze out the small ones because they'll have more buying and negotiating power with the big brand names, etc. Groupon Korea knows this is the only way they're going to be able to compete in this market seeing as they've arrived late to the party. |

Where is the "social" in these social commerce things anyway?
I don't see any social in them. You just turn on the app, pick a coupon, use it.
it's not like you have to gift these coupons or recommend them or anything. |

I guess you didn't notice that the OP said that it is "FOR FOREIGNERS". Maybe it wasn't the OP's intention. Maybe they meant "It's for Korean, Japanese and English speakers." That would make more sense. |
