Retail webite Scoop of the Day launches to offer daily discounts
ScoopoftheDay.com.au, a new website offering consumers a discounted offer available only for 24 hours has launched this week.
It follows a similar model to retail site Catchoftheday.com.au which claims to sell an average of $1m worth of goods each week.

Initially available only to Sydney consumers, Scoop of the Day has signed up local businesses such as restaurants, bars, hairdressers and spas to offer discounted vouchers.
This is not a clone of catchoftheday.com.au … its actually a clone of http://www.ouffer.com and Spreets.com … and of those two I think Spreets has already tanked. Good luck scoop of the day, Ouffer has awesome deals.
Yeah, it’s just like Spreets.com which launched only recently too. They say they have a deal a day but it’s more like one deal every 10 days. So yeah, it;s not looking great for them…But, I Iove the idea behind these sites and will be keeping my eye on them, especially for restaurant deals. Must check out this Ouffer.
Hey guys, I’m a part of the Spreets team. It’s a very busy space with lots of players already. Probably not room for too many winners though and the press release above is the same story we’re all chasing. Worth a good battle though. We’ll certainly all be better fed and massaged as a result.
Yep, we’re doing deals when we get them, so not every day right now. We’re ok with that.
Note, you can get this comment for 58% off the normal price if you retweet “I love http://spreets.com“. 😉
Hi, what is a Spreet?? My money’s on Scoopoftheday, these guys know what they are doing. Yesterday 50% off at a trendy bar/restaurant and today im getting a facial for half price! Oh, and all these sites are modelled after Groupon, a very successful site in the US. I guess Ouffer was just first to market..but I expect they will be getting a run for their money. Scoopoftheday’s got me for the time being..
Hello, I’m Bekim, from http://www.offerme.com.au. We were first to market in this space in Australia and launched in August 2008. Mick’s right, it is a busy space and growing every day which is great news for consumers who want to experience group buying power and save money. There are excellent deals to be had in both products and services and if the US is anything to go by we’ll see tremendous growth in the category and collective buying communities in the next two years.
I thought that:
Catchoftheday was a photo gallery displaying images of smiling fisherman with their trophy fish?
Scoopoftheday was a website for Gelato businesses?
There are a few sites popping up – hey if they offer value and can make money in the process – good on you and enjoy the ride 🙂
Hi,
thought you might like to check this out.
Catchoftheday is launching Scoopon.com.au on Monday
Fantastic to see the Sydneysiders getting all these awesome deals.
I’m from http://www.crowdmass.com.au and we’re about to launch in Melbourne – featuring one Melburnian business every week.
At the end of the day – sites like ours are bringing consumers great deals (and new places to try), and business owners new customers. It’s a win – win situation 🙂
Keep up the good work Braden, Mick and Bikam! Love what you guys are doing up there in Sydney and hope you all the best.
