How bidorbuy ‘Deals of the Week” work?

Step 1: Create your Deal

Identify a product/package or service that you would like to offer customers at a discount. You must also have a number of these packages in stock in order to qualify. This deal must be very attractive in order to bring new customers as well as returning customers. Send us a sample listing and we will verify it, e.g. 50% off on a Cruise for Two valued at R15000, or PS3 250 gig at 30% off.

Step 2: Market your Deal

The bidorbuy team will create the banners and organise the marketing for your deal. You will need to provide us with the details of the deal and any images showing the contents of the deal.

Step 3: Run your Deal

Your deal will run for 1 week on bidorbuy. The deal will be advertised across the site including on the bidorbuy forum and on bidorbuy's Facebook fan page. A good Deal of the Week will attract potential customers to try out your business. If users do not purchase at the end of the deal you still would have received mass awareness for your business at no charge because bidorbuy will only charge you for successful sales.

Step 4: Confirm payment

Once your deal is done, ensure that payment has cleared or that you have received the funds before you deliver the service or product.

Step 5: Serve your new customers

One week is all it takes and you'll have yourself a new list of potential customers. Enjoy the sight of new and old customers to your business. Serve your customers well and you've got yourself clients for life.
