Paris-based Wondersale is an online platform that centralizes seasonal group deals and promotional offers from major (r)etailers during four key spending times of the year. Our Sales events - Spring, Summer, Fall and Christmas - last 20 days each and bring together the top 100-300 merchants of France. In order to meet customers where they already are, Wondersale sells its deals via a Facebook storefront, the first of its kind in Europe. Our benefits are:
- For consumers, a new shopping experience while making their holiday purchases cheaper & more convenient
- For merchants, a high-impact & collective marketing initiative, when they most need share of voice
Wondersale.fr is our second business model after launching an earlier version of our concept in the Netherlands in 2010. Originally a voucher code website for special calendar events, we decided to move to the more lucrative French market and enter the group deal space in July 2011. We are excited to take this new step with partners who want to support us in proving that:
- Seasonal shopping is a lucrative trend in and by itself
- Social shopping at a mass scale is achievable and highly profitable
