There’s always an advantage when an already-established company gets into the daily deals business, and that’s exactly what’s happening in Toronto today.
Rogers Digital Media announced the launch of RDeals today, a new daily deal site that brings both local and national deal finds to Canadians for up to 90% off the original price. RDeals launches today and brings deals to listeners and watchers across Canada, but unfortunately not in Quebec.
What makes this launch so special? Rogers Digital Media already has a huge reach and penetration percentage in Canada.
Rogers Digital Media is a division of Rogers Communications Inc., and operates Rogers Broadcasting Ltd. and Rogers Publishing Ltd., has 55 AM and FM radio stations across Canada, television properties include five Citytv stations, five OMNI multicultural television stations, Sportsnet (consisting of four regional channels and the nationally-distributed Sportsnet ONE), and The Shopping Channel, a televised and internet shopping service. Rogers Publishing produces many well-known consumer magazines and is the leading publisher of a number of industry, medical and financial publications.
So, needless to say, they won’t have any problems reaching their target market!
Jason Tafler is the Chief Digital Officer of Rogers Media Inc, and explains their foray into the daily deals industry:
“Canadians are increasingly looking to engage with their favourite brands through multiple digital platforms and channels. With RDeals, we are offering savings on top, quality brands and seamlessly connecting customers, wherever they are, to merchants across the country,” he said. “[By] Leveraging our robust portfolio and world-class brands, we are able to provide our advertisers and clients with access to established and relevant audiences.”
Rogers plans to build on current relationships with advertisers and partners to deliver personalized experiences to its millions of customers. The combination of radio, TV, and online advertising is a sure bet when it comes to connecting brands and audience.
