A Unique Way for Consumers to Save
Recently, I was forwarded an email from a friend inviting me to purchase a $50 gift card to my favorite spa for only $25. Never one to pass up a good deal but also fearful of a scam, I read the terms and conditions very carefully and decided to pull the trigger and purchase. Within 2 days, my spa certificate was in the mailbox and I booked an appointment for that weekend. Since that initial introduction to Groupon, I have been hooked:
Groupon works like this:
- Each day they feature a new deal good for only that day.
- You only get the discount if enough people join the deal (usually a minimum of 50)
- You purchase online and the certificate, gift card, or details are sent directly to you.
I have purchased discount tennis lessons, concert tickets, custom framing gift certificate, restaurant offers, gift card to my favorite denim boutique, etc. It’s so fun to see what the offer of the day will be.
Groupon currently promotes offers in Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington D.C. Groupon is a project of The Point, Inc., a platform for organizing not only group discounts, but all forms of collective action. Founded in 2007, The Point is privately owned, funded and based in Chicago
