DEALSHAKER EXPO ZAGREB 2018
WE CELEBRATE THE FIRST
ANNIVERSARY OF THE PLATFORM IN CROATIA We had been waiting for months. It had been talked about a lot at events and it was a dream for many. An online shopping and sales platform where you could pay with our currency, OneCoin. And one day in February, the dream came true. It was officially announced during the month of January, and, although it had not yet opened its doors, merchants began to register their businesses and publish their offers on the platform so that, when their activity officially began, all users could buy the coupons straightaway. And so it was. On February 16, 2017, DealShaker was opened to the public, showing its offers with a minimum of 50% of the prices in OneCoins.
The next great OneLife revolution had begun. On Friday, February 16, coinciding with the first anniversary of the platform, hundreds of merchants from various European countries gathered at the City Plaza Centre in Zagreb, Croatia, to present their offers. It is not the first merchant expo of DealShaker, but Zagreb is one of the pioneer cities in the organization of these events. And we can say that it is a very special exhibition to be held on this important date. The enthusiasts of the sales platform didn’t want to miss this celebration, so several thousand of participants arrived from very different places of the globe, near or far, walked through the stalls and shopped live. During the event, products of all kinds were exhibited: footwear, cosmetics, accessories, pastry, wines, cheese, health products, travel packages, art... Anything that can be marketed was present in the stalls on the site. But there was one product that stood out and shone especially in this edition: high-end cars. We had already been seeing on the platform fascinating offers of automobiles that can be paid, partly or fully, in OneCoins. But it was quite an attraction for visitors to see those cars live and to observe their characteristics, their perfect condition, and to be able to imagine themselves at the wheel of one of those exemplars.

Besides being able to visit the stalls, to touch the product and even to taste the flavours from various regions of Europe, there was time for other activities. Presentations, shows and workshops. Those who had a VIP pass, in addition, could enjoy a high quality training session with none other than Frank Ricketts. And on Sunday, the icing on the cake was the Mastermind Event, where we continued to celebrate the achievements of a whole year of creating value for the currency, where the attendees learned how to get more out of the platform and understood the outreach it was having. The event featured local, European and international leaders: Mihail Petrovic, Kenny Nordlund, DealShaker expert Cristi Calina, Black Diamonds from the United Kingdom, Dr. Parwiz Daud and Mansour Tawafi, Gordon Stenhuijs, and Global Network Consultant Frank Ricketts. These were just some of the prominent speakers. It is important to mention that DealShaker not only gives visibility to thousands of merchants and provides the exposure for their products, helping create new jobs in many businesses registered, but also, events like this make a significant impact on sales, help stores, create value for the currency and inform curious visitors about the ease of buying using cryptocurrency: by simply clicking on the screen of your phone.
