The central concept is incredible but the way groupon uses it is not, the spa did not book over $4300 in business like Chris says, rumor has it that groupon actually takes 50% of the sales for itself. Sure, Groupon is a good business but its borderline abusive to its partner businesses (something that would not work if applied to independent makers).
- thunk 17y agoWell, Groupon is the least interesting manifestation of the idea. I'm interested in two other takes on the idea: group purchasing collectives on the consumer side, and limited editions on the maker side.
- req2 17y agoCould you elaborate on your claim of abusiveness? I'm not sure such an unsourced rumor is sufficient evidence, nor am I aware of Groupon having such Walmartian clout that it can bully vendors into deals. Surely the spa signed its own end of the contract?
