good deals

In China, we have a good social media, it called "weibo". In this media, we can find many stars, it looks like "twitter".

I am enjoying to using this social media because i can find lots of interesting news or events, also it can help me to find lot of good deals in different American shopping websites, such as Amazon, Best buy and some official websites.

I believe that many college students like shopping online, so finding coupons or using good time to shopping is important to them (including me). It also shows that is one of consumer behavior. There is no deny that everyone wants to buy good which is cheaper and well. That is why people will shopping crazy in Christmas, New Year and Black Friday, because of having a big discount.

http://www.weibo.com/dealmoon this is a link of dealmoon in "weibo", but it shows Chinese.

Everyday, it will update new good deals. Sometimes it will sweepstakes, so i like it.

Scarcity Effect

In the Chinese Spring Festival, everyone will eat delicious food, such as Beijing Roast Duck, pot, fire noodle and so on. But now, i just in the Montana, there is not many chinese food, it limits the consumption for food market.

When i want to eat some chinese food, i only have to shopping online, so online shopping is becoming my favorite consumer platform. I can find lots of chinese food, but i saw the price is higher than in China. I guess that two reasons: one is tariff, and another one is scarcity. When the product is scarcity, customers always want to buy it, so the price of cause will be increasing.

Some businessmen use this consumption concept to attract more customers. For example, i find a new about selling crabs, which is not ate for this season; however, it still has lots of people want to buy it; it also appeals the phenomenon of a shortage.

It is amazing.
