For each item they want to buy, they can ask other DealCart users in need of the item – as well as friends, family and contacts on social media – whether they want to join a group in order to increase their purchasing power. As long as the group consists of at least four people, the supplier will offer a lower price than the consumer would otherwise have paid.
