What is Purchase Activity?

Purchase Activity is a high value transaction group shopping network which allows people to combine their purchasing power on expensive goods or services. What's unique about it is that in addition to helping people obtain discounts on Televisions, Automobiles and Home Appliances it also allows them to collectively negotiate prices on Bank Owned Foreclosure Homes, Funeral Services, Legal Services, Automotive Repairs and Ultra Expensive Prescription Medicine. Perhaps most interestingly in these economic times, Purchase Activity also allows individuals with credit issues to form Debtor Settlement Groups able to obtain superior settlement terms with their creditors. It accomplishes this by allowing individuals who have never met each other, but who all happen to be spending considerable sums of money on the same things at the same time, to combine their purchasing power into one high value transaction that gives them more negotiating leverage on price.

There are already so many discount services in the market place. What makes Purchase Activity unique and better?

There are a number of things which make Purchase Activity unique. First, most discount services attempt to insert themselves into the buying process in an effort to negotiate on your behalf. Purchase Activity doesn't insert itself or another middle man into your transaction. When you and your Purchase Activity buying partners walk into a sellers place of business and negotiate a deal you will receive all the benefits. Purchase Activity allows you to partner with others on high dollar transactions that include a wide spectrum of goods and services never before addressed in this fashion. To our knowledge there is no other service in the world which allow you to negotiate as a group for a discount on Bank Owned Foreclosure Homes, Funeral Services, Legal Services, Plumbing Services, Heating And Cooling Services, Automotive Repairs, Ultra Expensive Prescription Medicine, Automobiles, Trucks, Televisions, Kitchen Appliances, Computers and Home Furniture. Historically car dealerships, banks, law firms, funeral parlors and pharmaceutical chains have not been to eager to negotiate with individual buyers on price but that was before the recession began. Purchase Activity is unique in its ability to empower you to approach all these entities as a larger buying group in an effort to get a discount.

I'm easily intimidated and I'm not a very good negotiator. I don't think I could negotiate a good price if I had to do it face to face. How is Purchase Activity going to help me get a better deal?

The great thing about negotiating as a group is that if you don't feel comfortable or aggressive enough to negotiate a discount then someone else in the group probably will. That's why when you first meet up at the sellers place of business you should all decide who is going to be the lead negotiator for your group before you go in.

How does Purchase Activity work?

First you'll click on the Buyers section of our website to find other buyers who plan to make the same purchase you do this week. Our system will generate a list of prospective purchase partners for you to contact by email. Once you do that you can discuss when and where you'd all like to meet to make your purchase. You should also decide on a number of secondary options in case you don't like the discount you may or may not receive at your first seller. When you arrive at the sellers place of business you should then tell them you're all there to make a purchase as a group and that you'd like to negotiate a discount significant enough to get your business. If you don't receive acceptable terms at your first seller then simply politely excuse yourself and tell them you're going to go elsewhere to try and get a better deal. When the seller sees that a group of customers, all wanting to make a major purchase, are about to walk out they usually make an effort to work with you. In this economy it's the only smart thing to do. Then when your group negotiates a price that its pleased with everybody pulls out their wallet or purse and makes their purchase individually. Its as easy as that. You won't appreciate the true power of Purchase Activity until you walk into a place of business with a large group of buyers all ready to spend serious money. When you see the look on the sellers face as you tell them your here to do business then you'll understand the real power of our service.

How many purchase partners does it take to form a group?

Groups can be as small as two and can be as large as several hundred buyers.

I didn't know it was possible to negotiate with appliance store chains, funeral parlors, law firms, car dealerships and some of the other entities you mentioned.

In that past individuals rarely had enough clout to negotiate with entities like that because they lacked the leverage. However, now because of the recession dealerships, appliance stores, funeral parlors, law firms, plumbers and electricians are being very aggressive in their efforts to generate business and satisfy customers. In this climate almost everything is economically negotiable.

I'm a business owner. How does Purchase Activity benefit me?

Purchase Activity benefits business owners in quite a few ways. First it's capable of driving large groups of shoppers to you who are all prepared to buy today. Secondly, it allows you to reach buyers with your advertising message during what's known as Transit Time. The most valuable advertising time for a seller is the Transit Time of a purchaser. The Transit Time is the one hour block of time that a purchaser typically spends driving to their shopping destination. Purchase Activity uniquely exploits that "magical hour" by allowing our preferred sellers to target our buyers with time sensitive advertisements, social network communiqués and telephonic messages conveyed to them by other members of their own group shopping network. Advertisements and live calls conveyed to a buyer during this "magic hour" have ten times more influence on a buyer then the ads they've been exposed to over the previous week".

How does Purchase Activity help people acquire Bank Owned Foreclosure Homes?

Purchase Activity can be very helpful in this regard. Banks are very anxious to unload foreclosure homes and are going to great lengths to try and sell large blocks of real estate to hedge funds and wholesale real estate investors. Purchase Activity makes it possible for individual home buyers and investors to form a foreclosure home acquisition group. As a group you can then contact banks and begin serious negotiations on the purchase of a larger quantity of homes. Because you posses more leverage as a group banks will be more inclined to offer you better terms then they would if you were just buying an individual home.

How does Purchase Activity help people with Funeral Expenses?

Planning a funeral can be one of the most traumatic events in a persons life. Because people have just lost a loved one they are far less inclined to spend time shopping or negotiating better terms. Most people simply call the nearest funeral parlor and use it. What Purchase Activity does is that it allows you to form a group with other people who have lost a loved one that week so that you can then approach several funeral homes and negotiate better terms, Because of all the emotional trauma involved in the loss of a loved one its often difficult to think of paying for funeral arrangements as a business transaction but that's exactly what it is. Funeral parlors know this and will not hesitate to charge you very significant fees at your time of greatest weakness. By using Purchase Activity you can form a group to try and make sure you get the best deal possible in your time of crisis.

How can Purchase Activity help me with legal service fee reduction?

While law firms have historically been reluctant to negotiate prices with individuals, if you approach firms as a group you're more likely to get a better deal.

How can Purchase Activity help me get a better deal on automotive repairs?

People everywhere experience car problems that end up being very costly to repair. Auto shops rarely if ever negotiate with individuals on price.

How can Purchase Activity help me with Delinquent Debtor Group Counter Offers?

People are constantly being pursued by collection agencies all across the United States.

How can Purchase Activity help me with the cost of Ultra Expensive Prescription Medicine?

There are countless people that spend thousands of dollars each month on prescription medicine. Some of them still have insurance while many other Americans have already lost their coverage. While insurance may cover some of your costs most people still have to pay a deductible which may end up being hundreds of dollars a month in out of pocket expenses. The beauty of Purchase Activity is that whether you have insurance coverage or not, you can use this service to form a group which will allow you to approach major drug store chains in an effort to negotiate better terms. First try to approach individual pharmacies. If that doesn't work out then contact their corporate headquarters and begin a dialog which may result in your receiving more favorable pricing if you have a significant sized group. Its very important that you remember two things. First keep growing the size of your purchase partner group because the larger it is the more leverage you will have. Secondly, its important to be very persistent. The harder and longer you persist, the greater the probability of your success.

The nature of our business model is such that we use the information you provide us to connect you with others wanting to form a group with you.

Hotmail, Gmail and Mail.com all provide free email services which you can use to set up a temporary email address that you can employ for Purchase Activity.

What's a good way to use PurchaseActivity.com?

Your first step should be to use PurchaseActivity.com to get the contact info for other people in your area looking to make the same purchase as you. One you get their email addresses you should contact them, tell them you received their info on PurchaseActivity.com and discuss the possibility of forming a shopping group with them designed to purchase the same item or service. Once you connect with your shopping partners online or by phone you should then decide which store or place of business you'd like to meet at. When you do meet with them at the designated store you should then decide if you're going to choose a single group negotiator or if the entire group will work together. Once that's been determined ask to speak to a manager and tell them that you're here as a group and that if they can provide you with an agreeable discount then the entire group is prepared to make a large purchase. If you receive an agreeable discount then go ahead and all make your purchases individually at the terms agreed upon. If not then tell them you're going to check out some other places and prices. Always remember to be very polite and respectful.
