Information is power and there's nothing quite as
powerful as getting something you want for half off!
The problem is that you probably don't that thing you're
looking for is half priced at some location. It's
almost sad. If only you knew! At the Zipper, we're
completely dedicated to eliminating sadness from the
world or at least,this type of sadness. In our big
assault on deal loss sadness, we introduce the Deal
Channel on the Zipper. Make sure to take with a full
meal!
So
what is the Deals Channel and how is it going to become
your new best shopping friend for local deals? Think
about how you shop for things. Yes, you may buy a bunch
of stuff on Amazon, Ebay, and online. In fact, on first
glance, you probably think that most of your shopping is
indeed online. Let's look a little closer. Been to
Target lately? Have you been food shopping as of late?
Of course, if you're notorious for eating out, there's
the Eats Channel for you but for the rest of us, a trip
to Safeway is pretty common. What about a trip to the
Mall even if it is for a Starbucks coffee or to window
shop. Throw in your favorite spot to buy cool summer
cloths or a local skateboard, sports, or ______ (fill in
the blank for whatever you're in to) and you start to
see that a lot of your shopping real is local shopping.
Okay, so we establish that in spite of the fact that any
year, we'll all be zooming around with jet packs and
living vicariously through the internet, a lot of our
dollars go to local spots. So now what?
Now
let's flip it around to one of those local stores you
like to frequent. They clearly have stuff that you like
but sometimes, they have too much one thing or they need
to make room for something else. They can run ads or
they can even partner up with one of the new darlings of
the internet such as Groupon but that's a little more
involved and it helps to be of a certain size in order
to do that. This is just a little trendy clothing store
that always seems to have their finger on the pulse of
what you and every person you likes to wear before it's
hot! If they run an add, the vast majority of the
people who see it don't know why that pair of jeans is
to die for (like your mom or Aunt Agnes) and you're
really busy...probably didn't see the ad in between
friends and homework and your part time job (not to
mention hoops practice). That's the information we were
talking about or better yet, a disconnect of
information. One of your favorite stores is marking
down one of your favorite brands by 50% to move it out
and you HAVE NO IDEA. Bring in the Zipper Deals
Channel.
This
is the place to find local deals from local vendors.
There may be threads by store name where you can check
out your favorites. They may be by age or style. The
best part is that it's all local and it's all instant.
If a store wants to blow out some really cool leather
jackets, boom they run it instantly to you smart phone
Zipper app. It's like the home shopping channels where
you see the numbers running down as people call in to
buy the remaining products. The store doesn't even have
to announce it. If a certain store is your favorite and
you see they're blowing out your favorite games, post a
Zip so other game heads know about it and then watch the
Swarm. It's all about information and connecting two
people or groups along an instant and intensely local
basis to make everyone happy. The Deal Channel waits
for you.
