The internet made the use of daily deal sites popular worldwide. Daily deal sites reduce the need for shoppers to search for coupons in magazines. Since almost every e-commerce site offers deals on their websites, it is possible for daily deal sites to track and collect deals from all over the world in one place.

It is difficult to identify where the daily deal site trend was initiated but there are many speculations that the initiator was Woot in 2004. Woot offers its members a specific  amount of a single product at a discounted price for the entire day, hence the daily deal. Since the speculated initiation by Woot, there have been many sites that have cloned the concept of the business. Currently there are over a 100 daily deal sites that offer a product to a specific niche market every day.

Local deal Sites

There are also local deal sites that offer deals to customers from local businesses for a limited time. These sites, unlike daily deal sites, cater to customers who take part in local merchandizing; they even offer gift certificates and cards that can only be used by local merchants for services such as spas and bars, instead of a single product.
