Types of Price Records

SaveNowClub supports two types of price records: price offer and price paid.

Price Offer

These are currently active price quotes offered from sellers, for example, this offer on 2020 Ford Expedition MAX XLT, it was posted on 2/1/2021, and it will stay valid until the listed product is sold or the price gets changed by seller.

Here is another example price offer of a price offer for a used SUV near Chicago area.

Price Paid

These are past price paid records contributed by other buyers. This is an example price paid for 2020 Toyota Highlander. Since these records reflect transaction already happened, they generally do not expire.

Components of Price Records

Each price record is made up of 3 parts: public information, private information and dedicated mailbox

• public information: accessible by general public, includes product/service name, price, area/zip code, and public description
• private information: accessible by owner and buyers of price record only, includes
  • available to both owner and buyers of price record: dealer information, deal making descriptions
  • available to only owner: source URL, vehicle VIN
• dedicated mailbox: optionally attached to a price record, accessible by owner of price record or group members of a buying group only. See section below for more details

Dedicated Mailbox

As you create a Price Record, you may choose to add a Dedicated Mailbox to it, the mailbox comes with these handy benefits

• collaborative communication to seller and peer-to-peer communication
• one-click mute incoming emails
• reply directly from your personal email account
• each inbound/outbound message is tagged with price record link so you can easily trace it back to its original intent.

Collaborative Negotiation

You may collaborate on email negotiation with dealer to nail down the deal by checking collboratively negotiate box.

What Is Buying Group

Buying Groups are price records that are on sale that allow multiple buyers to purchase a product at a discounted price. Buyers who make purchase will get actual products / services in return.

Benefits of Buying Group

If you are organizing or about to join a Buying Group, consider the following advantage of SaveNowClub’s Buying Group vs. Google Form vs. WeChat Groups vs. Facebook Groups

Membership Management

• Membership information of a Buying Group can be modified or deleted, while it’s not possible to do it on Google Form
• Group Members' email addresses will be verified while Google Sheet does not verify email addresses of sign up members
• Advantage over Facebook Groups: Members may remain anonymous to the public and to each other group members, while you have to show your real name in Facebook Groups

Marketing Advantages

• Buying Group page is public and easy to attract new members while keeping membership information private, but Google Form address is usually private and cannot generate organic traffic.
• Advantage over WeChat Groups: the fact that SaveNowClub buying group has a public page and allows dealers / brokers to join makes it easier to attract sellers to make offer to the group and to reach a deal, while WeChat Groups are private and lack a public page to attract sellers to make an offer.
