Its over 12 months on and the Yellow Pages Offers product is nowhere to be seen?

Is it true that the Sensis team do not know how to build and release anything on their own?

To date they have struggled to launch their own original products, and the early sense here in Australia is that Yellow Pages Offers could be yet another flop.

For example, today’s deal has just 1 sold. Yesterdays just 5 sold. Australia is a tiny market when compared to the US, however its very common to get 1,000+ deals sold per city.

Have Sensis outlined how they might try to compete with the true Groupon type players in Australia? Big competitors include Scoopon, Zoupon, Cudo, Spreets, Jump On It, and more.

Another recent Sensis development has been their recent purchase of Services Marketplace quotify.com.au . Setting up services marketplaces similar to Service Magic, Service Central, Red Beacon, Thumbtack, etc sure is another growing trend.
