Cobone.com launches in Saudi Arabia

Cobone.com, the online source for top deals, will now bring its bargains to Saudi Arabia. Cobone.com offers Saudi residents social and innovative ways to shop online.

“Cobone’s expansion to Saudi Arabia is yet another milestone in our growth,” said Paul Kenny, Founder and CEO of Cobone. “We are excited to be able to extend our services to Saudi Arabia and we have a lot of exciting plans that we can’t wait to share with our Saudi customers.”

A company majority owned by Jabbar Internet Group, Cobone.com provides savings on hotels, goods, restaurants, spas and more across the Middle East. A different offer appears each day, allowing members to take advantage of the most sought-after services for at least half the usual price.

The web-based business model uses the power of group purchasing to bring the best goods and services at discounts of between 50-90%. A certain number of people must participate in each offer before the deal can be activated.

Shoppers are encouraged to invite friends, colleagues and family to join in on daily deals to increase their own chances of completing a purchase. Customers will also be given the flexibility to purchase coupons for themselves or their friends by using a selection of credit cards and cash on delivery in addition to online payment options such as CashU and Paypal.

“With one of the region’s highest internet penetrations and users, Saudi Arabia is ideally placed to benefit from the unique deals offered by Cobone.com,” said Thamer Bamieh, Country Manager for Cobone.com in KSA. “We want to support local businesses by increasing their exposure through this innovative way to shop.”
