Nach langer Planung und viel Parntergesprächen (finden Sie mal für über 2,5 mio. Produkte Gutscheine) ist heute www.dealhamster.com vom Stapel gelaufen.

Im wesentlichen handelt es sich hierbei um eine  Seite, wo man nach Produkten und Kategorien suchen kann und entsprechende Gutscheine und Angebote dargestellt werden. So ist es eine Art Brücke zwischen Produktsuche und e-commerce.

So finden Sie z.B.

Gutscheine für Bücher, Gutscheine für Kleidung, Reise Gutscheine, Gutscheine für Autozubehör, uvm

Bin gespannt auf das Feedback!

I’m currently playing around with optimizing a SME website – in order to understand more the needs of SME in regards to targeted advertisement, yellow page listings and cpc/cpa business models for SME.

The website: Fahrschule Klagenfurt is a driving school in Austria.
The website: Bester Baumeister Kärnten is a construction company.

I’d love to utilize my learnings for the startups I’m working with: www.tupalo.com, www.tripwolf.com, www.yellix.com, www.wikitude.org

keep you posted…

“The Truffle 100 for 2007 Listing of Europe’s 100 largest software firms is out and online. The good news is that 32 Euro software vendors have revenues greater than €100M (up from 30 one year ago).

The bad news is that all the Truffle 100 combined is generating less annual sales than Microsoft, and not quite double Oracle’s annual sales.

Getting back to the positive news is the fact that all of the Truffle 100 companies have sales of greater €20M. And that they make about €2.5B in profits a year (aggregated).” …more (alarm:clock article)
