With group buying becoming a phenomenon across Australia, OurDeal has six simple tips for businesses to make the most of the opportunities it presents.

Cudo.com.au the NineMSN affiliated Groupon clone that launched in September last year has taken the crown of the most visited site in its category just as rival Spreets was bought by Yahoo!7 for $40million.

Spreets, one of the many Groupon clones to startup in Australia has been bought online media company Yahoo!7 for around $40 million in the wake of similar deals by Channel Ten with OurDeal last year and rival NineMSN backed Cudo.

Jump On It, one of the myriad Groupon clones in Australia yesterday announced it has secured nearly $5 million in funding from US online group buying company LivingSocial.

Groupon clone ‘OurDeal’ has been bought into by Network Ten today, with the broadcast network looking to leverage its mass consumer reach to promote OurDeal’s discounts and offers.

Scoupon, the Groupon spinoff from the CatchOfTheDay team has entered the PR war with rivals Jumponit, Spreets and Microsoft and PBL backed Cudo.

Microsoft and PBL yesterday launched Cudo.com.au, yet another Groupon clone in an already crowded Australian market filled with the likes of JumpOnit, Ouffer, Spreets, OurDeal and Scoupon run by Catchoftheday.

Catchoftheday.com.au was founded in 2006 by Gabby Leibovich and his brother Hezi. Loosely modelled on an American concept of one deal, every day, the business has caught on in a big way in Australia, topping the Hitwise rankings in its category.

Groupon clone OurDeal is hoping online group coupon ordering won’t be an ordeal as it tries to replicate the success of Groupon clones Spreets, Ouffer and Jump On It in the Australian market.
