NewChicago-based Company Puts the “Social” Back into Social Buying
CitySwarmorganizes events for social Chicagoans who want to explore the city, takeadvantage of group deals, and meet new people.
CHICAGO, January 5,2011 – CitySwarm LLC (http://www.cityswarmchicago.com), a new social experience company thatcombines the concept of group buying with offline social interactions, recentlylaunched in Chicago and will offer Chicagoans a new option for exploring thecity. CitySwarm negotiates group deals with Chicago’s top cultural,entertainment, recreation, and dining venues to provide affordable, fun experiencesto city dwellers ages 25-40. Participants can take advantage of these greatdeals while socializing with peers in a comfortable setting.
Unlike daily dealsites where customers purchase a ticket for an activity and are on their own torecruit friends and plan the rest, CitySwarm organizes a group activity at aspecific time and place, and typically combines it with a social reception.
“I’ve boughtevent tickets through other deal sites,” said CitySwarm Founder Lindsay Saewitz,“but there’s not much socializing going on once you’re there. People stick totheir own groups, or you find yourself among families and tourists. With aCitySwarm event, not only are you trying something new in the city and gettinga good deal, but also everyone is there to socialize and meet new people.”
“My group offriends and I want to try new activities around Chicago,” Lindsay added, “butit’s hard to organize and we always wind up doing the same things. CitySwarmtakes the hassle out of planning so all you need to do is buy a ticket, show upand have a great time.”
CitySwarm eventsbegin in February and tickets will go on sale this month. In the works aretickets to a Broadway in Chicagoproduction, a BYOB tour of haunted locations, a Drinking and Drawing class, andmuch more.
