I disagree (slightly).
Merchants have two complaints with daily deal sites (let's be honest, we are talking about Groupon for the majority):
-Groupon takes a huge cut, 50%
-Groupon customers are typically drive-by customers. Most merchants complain that they get few or no returning customers from a Groupon deal
Many merchants have been burned by Groupon and have publicly stated they won't be doing it again.
- Kanundrum17 15y agoHi Polyfractal. One of the cofounders of this site and this is exactly our thought process of today's Groups sites. For these 2 reasons if the merchants don't offer deals because they get burned from the huge cut, they won't have a reason to come back with other deals. Consumers won't have a reason to come back with out a deal (Unless they like the place that much).
