Two Indonesian daily deals sites on the loose
Valadoo is a general discounts site, where they offer daily discounts for spa, restaurants, entertainment, etc; putting them on a head-to-head competition with the incumbent DealKeren and Disdus. As a differentiation factor, Valadoo has 3 types of deals : individual deals, just a simple deal without any group buying necessity involved; group buying, where you have to fulfill the quota in order for the deal to be activated; and friends deals where you have 1 voucher and invite several people in order for the deal to be activated.
Lapar.com is more interesting, based on the name of the website it's a daily deals site that focuses on delivering discounts for culinary products. And another strong differentiation is that they claim the discount to be at the range of 70-90% per item, that's a big discounts especially for food lovers. Okay, me.
Lapar.com has a better chance of surviving because they choose to narrow their market and focus on niche items; well it's food, so it's not exactly niche but it's a perfect positioning for them to gain customer's top-of-mind consideration while looking for a culinary discounts. For now Lapar.com only serves Jakarta and Bandung, but it's more likely for them to expand their services nation-wide.
