"That's an absurd price cut" Groupon is advertising and needs to be evaluated as advertising not as a price cut. "for the businesses for what's really an email campaign ... something a business could technically do for free or cheap" No that's not a real option that is either free or cheap anymore then you can replace traditional advertising by having the owner's family pass out fliers and/or stand around with a sandwich board.
