Whats this link for? Well there is a new growing trend in advertising. Right now it seems to be spreading like wildfire. The long name for it is "social media flash sale sites" the one above is for a site called WagJag.com, and yes it is a shameless self promotion because i work for the company that runs it. But there are others, in the area where I live (Ottawa, Canada) ten of them in fact, groupon, livingsocial, dealon, socialbuy, koupon, kahoots, swarmjam, teambuy, tuango, and wagjag. I'm sure there are more but these are the ones I've discovered so far. Personally I think that they are a great new marketing tool, allowing businesses to reach new customers and reconnect with old ones. But and yes there is a but, is this to much to fast so many sites diluting the mix. It was recently announced that google and facebook were going to be starting thier own sites, this I think proves that this is a venuture which wont be going away, because you know those two companies wouldn't do anything unless they thought there was money to be made. I think in the next 4 to 6 months you will see all the small ones disappear, and you will be left with the ones which either offered more to thier clients or had the better marketing paln to promote themselves over the others. It will be interesting to see in a few months what is now happening with this new frontier.
