generated the highest average revenue, even though their discounts are the
smallest. e.g. a 100 Rmb gas voucher offered for 92 Rmb. Very likely because

Online shopping deals have on average the longest deal time.
Life Services deals offer the highest discount but their nr. sold is far less than
deals from other categories.
