Z: Please introduce yourself and your project.

We are a deal site based in Limerick and operating since July 2011.

Z: How did you end up with daily deals? (Why daily deals?)

It is a fantastic way to market businesses old and new without any risk to that business. They only pay for paying customers coming in through their door. It is a real win-win situation for them. We also love to find new, maybe unusual businesses or services that people would not normally come across and introduce those. Who knows? Some eurdeal members may end up with a life lng hobby after one of our deals!

Z: How would you define your market? How do you try to be different?

Our members would generally be very busy people with a lot going on in their lives. They also love to try out new things when they come along and are very very fast to recommend a business or service to their family and friends.

We are different because we have a close relationship with our members, our customer service is second to none and we also donate a portion of our sales to charity!
