I believe one of the greatest ways we can advance our businesses is by learning from past successes and failures, both internally and externally… Internally (within your company), what actions were exectured this year that brought you the most revenue? Most interaction, shares, and social media influence? What actions did your company take that caused you the most headaches and wasted the most amount of time / resources? What about externally? Have you closely followed your competitors to see what they were up to? It’s important each year to create a SWOT analysis for your company that looks back on your actions of the past year, as well as one that looks forward to the upcoming year. Making a SWOT is one of those things I did while attending college, but never fully understood the value until I created one for my company

I believe one of the greatest ways

we can advance our businesses is

by learning from past successes

and failures, both internally and

externally...

Page 3: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Internally, what actions did your

company take this year that brought

you the most revenue? 80/20…

Page 4: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

What actions did your company

take that cause you the most

headaches and waste time /

money?

Page 5: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

What about externally? Have you

closely followed your competitors to

see what they were up to?

Page 6: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

It’s important each year to create a

SWOT analysis for your company

that looks back on your actions of

the past year, as well as one that

looks forward to the upcoming year.

Page 7: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

What internal strengths and

weaknesses do you, your

employees, and your

company have?

Page 8: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

What are the external

opportunities and threats that

exist within your industry?

Page 9: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries
Page 10: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Let’s take a peek at what

happened with eCommerce,

daily deals, and the coupon

industries throughout 2013.

Page 11: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

There were winners, losers,

movers, and shakers; and

common ingredients exist with

each of them.

Page 12: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Some of the common traits

of the winners…

Page 13: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Value Adds

Deal, coupon, and ecommerce sites that saw continued growth in 2013

implemented value added services to their services and offerings. To keep

your members engaged, you must provide more than a daily deal to both your

subscribers and merchants.

Offering your subscribers advice, recipes, local event information, community

events, etc. within email bodies can keep folks excited to open up your emails.

Likewise, the merchants you work with are unique, and custom value added

services are a surefire way to provide them with a better, customized service.

An added benefit is that these value-adds will also increase your revenue.

Page 14: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Value Adds

Not every business you work with may benefit from running a daily deal with

your company, however, they may benefit from running a free coupon

promotion. They may be in need of an update to their corporate website, or

mobile apps, photography and video services, SEO help, social media help,

etc.

Most of our Daily Deal Builder clients are smaller, more geographically specific

companies and can rely on their deepened connection with the local

community to differentiate from Groupon, Living Social, Amazon, and the other

Ecommerce giants.

Who doesn’t appreciate buying local, supporting local, and saving local?

Page 15: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Mobility & Innovation

Winners in 2013 capitalized on the increase in smart phone and tablet internet

users. People use, browse, and shop on their smart phones and tablets more

than ever and 2013 showed us that those who put a major emphasis into

building out their mobile applications, html5 apps, or native apps yielded better

responses from their subscribers.

Page 16: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Mobility & Innovation

Build a mobile app for your site! Let us help, or hire your own team to do so.

An HTML5 app will cost you about $3,000 and native apps will cost you about

$5,000 each. 2014 is only going to see an increased need for you to go

mobile.

Page 17: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Keeping costs low

Ecommerce changes every day. New technologies have helped level the

playing field with traditional retailers. Improvements to shopping cart software

have created a quicker, and more customer-friendly shopping experience.

Live chat has enhanced ecommerce customer service and helped keep

customer support costs lower. Using existing data and analytics could be an

opportunity for ecommerce companies to better understand customer

preferences without spending an arm and a leg gathering their own data.

Social media sites provide free or low-cost promotions and getting in front of

your target audience has never been easier.

Ecommerce vendors benefit from a structural advantage; you have lower

operational costs than a brick and mortar store. The winners of 2013 invested

heavily into new technologies and mobility, while maintaining very low costs.

Ease of Use

The easier it is for your

customers to buy from you,

the more buyers you should

have.

I believe ease of use is one

of the biggest reasons why

Amazon has continued to

dominate.

1-click purchases and

recommended products

make the site an absolute

pleasure to shop at.

Page 20: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

User Generated Recommendations

For years, I have been preaching that user generated recommendations are

the most powerful form of advertising that any company can utilize.

This was a big one for most of the winners of 2013. They made it as easy as

humanely possible to share their website and deals with friends and

colleagues. Those who ran contests and actually incentivized users to share

yielded even better results.

Page 21: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Some of the common traits

of the losers…

Page 22: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Customer Support Failures

In this day and age where a customer can simply visit

a Facebook page and immediately provide feedback,

staying on top of customer support is a must.

We have witnessed multiple companies go through

extensive customer support failures. When one of

your customers gets upset and has trouble with your

support department, they most likely will not be a

customer anymore.

In fact, there is a rather good chance they will work

against your business and tell others to NOT do

business with you.

Page 23: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Mobility

Just as mobility and innovation was

one of the reasons why the winners

of 2013 kept growing, it is one of the

reasons why many businesses

stopped growing.

As more and more people search

and shop from their smart phones

and tablets, the need for you to “go

mobile” increases.

Page 24: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Security and Fraud

Some people are still reluctant to

use their credit cards online.

Maintaining the highest level of

security and keeping your websites

live online is super important.

In November, Living Social’s

website went down for 2 days and

no revenue was generated.

Get trust seals and an SSL.

Page 25: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Low barriers to entry

Low barriers to entry are a constant threat in the daily deal, coupon, and

ecommerce spaces. It’s easy to set up an ecommerce business, even in a

garage. People can sell items via Facebook or eBay without setting up their

own websites. Low barriers to entry are a vital reason why staying innovative is

important.

Page 26: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Many major moves happened in

2013 and 2014 should follow a

similar path…

Page 27: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Businesses STILL want help marketing this holiday season so

they can capitalize on the increase in customer activity.

Page 28: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

They want new, loyal customers.

Page 29: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Businesses need help marketing.

Page 30: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

Page 31: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

trends by helping businesses run online promotions.

Deal Brokering

Connect with and represent businesses who have

either run a daily deal in the past, are thinking of

running a daily deal, or haven’t even thought about

it yet WITH one or many of the thousands of daily

deal websites that exist.

Page 58: Recap of 2013 for the Daily Deal, Coupon Software, and Ecommerce Industries

You walk into a sporting goods store. Arrange for them to run a deal on your deal site. Also, Have Groupon / Living Social / and 3

others run the promotion. In total, $155,000 is sold from the other deal sites. From the deal that you worked out, you cut yourself in 10% and generate around $7,000.00 FROM A SINGLE DEAL! That doesn’t include the 30%-50% that you generate from running the

deal on your own site!
