Thats exactly what we do! Basically run our own Groupons. Send out an email with a link to a hidden page on our site that will be up for a week. We generally do it in the winter just before Christmas. Lots of sales as gifts, and since it's winter they will wait a few months to jump which will raise breakage, and hence the margin.
- mmaunder 15y agoJoe just wanted to echo patio on thanking you. With all the breathless negative press Groupon is receiving post the S-1 IPO filing, it's tough to gauge what the reality is. Thanks for the informative post!
- joeguilmette 15y agoI can't speak for Groupon's financials (that S-1 is horrifying), but the other end of it can work quite nicely :) It looks like Grouponomics applies to Groupon itself!
- robertjordan 15y agoDo you guys have someone in house to run your groupons? This seems like a good service for a start up to offer.
- joeguilmette 15y agoIt does, but we're talking about less and less revenue. Ho much of that 25% are you going to ask for?
- robertjordan 15y agoHaha yes, you're certainly right. A start-up offering this service would have to do it on some sort of monthly subscription, say $20-30 a month. Though yes, I agree that this doesn't have nearly as much potential as groupon.
