Technology media company TechTarget, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTGT) and RapidBuyr, the only national and local daily deals site specifically for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced the formation of an alliance to provide daily deals on business products and services to TechTarget members. Under the initial terms of the alliance, TechTarget will be RapidBuyr’s exclusive partner in the business-to-business (BtoB) technology media segment.
TechTarget will incorporate RapidBuyr’s daily deal offers across its technology media network including relevant site placements, newsletters and highly-targeted audience promotions in order to help its audience of more than 10 million members get access to special deals on technology and business products and services.
RapidBuyr offers high quality business products to millions of small and midsize businesses from name-brand manufacturers such as Samsung, Lenovo, HP, Lexmark and others, at significant discounts of 30-80%. RapidBuyr’s daily deals dramatically lower prices on typically expensive products and services such as hardware, software, Web development & design, IT outsourcing, marketing, meetings, events, staffing assistance, SaaS offerings and more. Currently serving a distribution network of over 11 million daily deal recipients, RapidBuyr is the largest daily deals site specifically addressing the business market.
“TechTarget gives technology business decision makers the information they need to make better purchase decisions. This alliance with RapidBuyr is a great extension of our media as it will allow us to provide our audience direct access to daily deals,” said TechTarget President Don Hawk.
“Technology buyers look to TechTarget for independent, accurate, timely and insightful information for every kind of technology purchase. As such, TechTarget is an ideal partner for the deeply discounted goods and services we offer every day,” said Tom Aley, President and CEO of RapidBuyr. “We believe TechTarget users will find RapidBuyr’s deals amazingly attractive and a real enhancement to their relationship with TechTarget.”
