The laser eye surgery I received through a deal was first rate. I felt I got a steal for the price I paid and the excellent care.
The merchant talked me out of purchasing through Groupon when I called for details and honored the coupon price after I had the free screening. Everyone 'won' but Groupon
- sjg007 14y agoThat's interesting since they doubled there money not paying Groupon, but still getting the customer.
- K2h 14y agoIt was an interesting sales pitch - they said something like 'it can take awhile to get the money refunded from groupon (1 month) if you don't pass the screening, but it is very unlikely you are not a candidate - you can pay through Groupon and get full refund if things don't work out, or you can pay at the front desk'. I chose the front desk as easier all the way around. I was shocked that the dollar amount I was quoted included tax (I'm in California). As for cost/profit - it sounds like base cost in the facility is around $300 / eye, as this is what I was quoted as a 'redo' if it wasn't working well at the 6 month period. so $1800 - $600 = alot of 'profit' from a customer. the overhead for groupon rate seems negligible compared to the cost of acquiring new customers.
