Click Frenzy owner Global Marketplace buys NZ online marketplace GrabOne

Prep your wallets for, New Zealand. Click Frenzy is coming across the ditch.

What's the key learning?

  • Global Marketplace, which owns Click Frenzy, has bought out NZ online marketplace GrabOne for $16.7 million.
  • Global Marketplace will gain access to GrabOne's consumer and merchant database.
  • This means it will have fast and easy access to data about NZ consumers, like their age and purchasing history.

Click Frenzy launched in 2012, and it's amassed a whopping 1.7 million customers, and attracted some top-tier board members like RedBalloon founder Naomi Simson. It's also been growing at 40% each. year. 

Global Marketplace is looking to launch across the ditch, so it bought NZ daily deals and e-commerce site GrabOne in a $16.7 million deal. Which means NZ could get its very own ClickFrenzy sale soon, and Click Frenzy gains access to a whole new consumer and merchant database.

Consumer databases are a collection of information about all the customers that have made a purchase from a business. And companies will pay big bucks for it.

A database is super powerful. We're talkin fast and easy access to millions of customers, and data about age, gender and purchasing history. It's the good stuff, Flux fam. 

Building a customer database can take years. Especially in a new country. But, by buying a local business - and its consumer database - you can go full steam ahead, right from the get go.
