The COC was willing to provide these 50 tickets at 50% off the regular price. Considering that attendance to all COC performance exceed 90%, there has never been a need to provide a discount any less than 50%, and being able to hold this maximum discount would be the true test of TeamSave\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p>Working with TeamSave went extremely well, and we were able to get the offer up and running within 48 hours of our first discussion. The offer was \u00a0launched at midnight, October 12th, and by 9 am on October 13th, they had sold their first ticket. By 3pm that same afternoon, all 50 tickets were sold out.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did we demonstrate that team buying on the Internet works for Opera and is a legitimate and useful channel to sell last minute tickets quickly at an acceptable price. We also demonstrated that Ryerson\u2019s DMZ can successfully create entrepreneurial businesses that can deliver real results in the business world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are always looking for an opportunity to test new digital marketing tools or platforms for our clients.\u00a0One recent opportunity was with\u00a0TeamSave, a social buying website that helps consumers save money by purchasing services or products as a group.\u00a0TeamSave is one of the first \u00a0businesses to come out of\u00a0Ryerson\u2019s Digital Media Zone (DMZ); \u00a0an innovative [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":16823,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16,786],"tags":[173,105,174,175,176,177],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3399"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3399"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26378,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3399\/revisions\/26378"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
