I truly hope local businesses will come to accept that a $5 for $10 deal, where the customer has to jump through some hoops to get it[1], is almost surly a terrible way of attracting new customers. Why would anyone want a customer who is willing to go through that hassle to save $5? I don't think it even takes math to realize this is a crazy promotion idea.
[1]: last I recall it was click through to purchase, login/enter credit card, wait a day, return to print
- matwood 15y agoWhy would anyone want a customer who is willing to go through that hassle to save $5? My cheapest (and not frugal, actually cheap skates) friends are the ones who would jump through all sorts of hoops for a dollar. They are also the ones I'd never want as customers. It's odd to me that businesses don't recognize this.
