Trade Me launched Treat Me today

We launched Treat Me today, our brand spanking new group-buying site that will offer discounted deals in Auckland and Wellington, before spreading across the country.

Treat Me will harness the retro coolness of vouchers and coupons, kicked off by Groupon in the USA back in 2008. With the Kiwi market still in its infancy, we’re confident Treat Me will appeal to Kiwi advertisers and buyers as a place to find a great deal.

Just like Trade Me, Treat Me will be focused on providing consumers with more spending power and helping local businesses reach additional customers. It will operate as a separate business unit with a dedicated team, led by a smart guy called James MacAvoy.

Treat Me is in Auckland and Wellington now, and there are plans afoot to expand into other regions over the coming months. The first deals go live on Tuesday 22 March.
