Shanghai, China (RPRN) 12/12/11 — Warm Winter Deals & Shanghai’s Quality over Beijing’s Quantity -

Daily Deals follow the seasons as diligently as the weather in Shanghai. Well not really. While recently the 23 degrees celsius made it seem like Spring was back for a second time this year in Shanghai, hot selling deals have been bedding, warm underwear and warm plasters.

At least the buyers are well prepared in case the cold will come as the concrete walls make the insides of apartments colder than the outside.

Dataotuan has published the October 2011 Daily Deal Websites Report with the sub title, "Warm Winter Deals & Shanghai’s Quality over Beijing’s Quantity"In short an overview of our findings:

- Lashou made it this month to the no.1 position for the revenue ranking.

- The average price per deal decreased and the average Nr.Sold increased in Oct., which is against the overall trend in the last 5 months.

- The group-buy market in Tier 1 cities is much more developed than Tier 2 cities regarding revenue

- Beijing is the biggest group-buy market. Compared with Shanghai, over 50% more deals are launched in Beijing

- The average Nr. Sold per deal though in Shanghai is significantly higher than Beijing, indicating a higher deal quality.

- Seasonal deals are bedding, warm underwear and plasters.

We can imagine Beijing's quantity probably is due to a craving for warm underwear and warm plasters. Be careful where you stick them.
