Taggle is leveraging the power of the internet to build a 'Group Buying' marketing platform that offers a win-win situation to both consumers and merchants. In other words, with Taggle, merchants pay for performance-based marketing and consumers receive attractively priced offers.
Taggle leverages the internet and more specifically, social and mobile networks, to create a community of shoppers who come together to give merchants volume business in return for bulk discount. This way, merchants are guaranteed a minimum number of customers who pay less as part of a mass-buying plan. Taggle partners with varied businesses ranging from wellness to beauty, travel, adventure sports, fast food, fine-dining and several others
For the merchants, 'Group Buying' creates a new marketing opportunity that is both measurable and cost-effective with the lowest customer acquisition cost. The idea is simple and cost effective-harnessing the power of collective buying to enable bulk discounts and offer great deals to customers. It not only provides a way for people to save money through the presented deals, but also helps them discover fun local activities they can enjoy at affordable prices.
For consumers it is an age old concept of ‘ bulk/ volume discount or institutional pricing’ being offered to companies earlier and now applied to them when they buy as a group through Taggle.
taggle.com is the flagship product of Taggle Internet Ventures Pvt. Ltd. The company has been funded by Battery Ventures and Greylock Partners -- renowned blue chip venture investors who have invested in several leading internet ventures including Facebook, LinkedIn and Groupon, to name a few.
Commenting on its launch, John Kuruvilla, CEO and Founder of Taggle Internet Ventures Pvt. Ltd said, “We are delighted to present an experience where the Good Life in Bengaluru is about to get better. Our focus is to redefine and encourage online Group Buying in India. For the retailer its customer acquisition at the lowest cost and a tactical marketing channel that is performance based. The new website promises enhanced value by taking customers beyond the ordinary user experience into something exciting and revolutionary by leveraging the power of both the Internet and the mobile.”
