But it doesn't clone Groupon...
Wow has no minimum qualification to purchase the deal (unlike Groupon's "tipping point," where a certain number of shoppers have to commit to it), and Wow plans to "keep it simple" and avoid gimmicks and games.
This would make potential buying experiences very different. The secret sauce of Groupon is collective buying power. This looks like a simple race to the bottom for merchants, except they are not guaranteed to get a certain number of purchases.
- noelchurchill 16y agoI could be wrong, but it seems Group is so popular now that every deal reaches the tipping point. They need to have deals with a network effect so as more people buy the deal it then gains more value for each customer.
