Groupon (click here) is a discount site that offers a daily deal, somewhat along the lines of a daily coupon. The only catch is that there has to be enough people participating for it to happen. Group + coupon = Groupon.
For example, today’s deal is, basically, 51% off at 4th Street Grill, located at 400 L Street in downtown Sacramento. More specifically, you pay $17 and get a voucher valued at $35. As of this posting there are 238 buyers and the tipping point for the deal to be on was 25.
Obviously, the buyer gets a nice discounted meal, massage, etc., but what’s in it for the business? Groupon harnesses the buying power of the many and provides many new customers – i.e. 4th Street Grill now has 238 (at this time) new customers. Of course, some people may buy multiple Groupons, or give Groupons as gifts. Other fine print may apply, but the fact remains that you’ll get a great deal!
Some other recent Groupons:
- $7 for $20 Worth of Specialty Pizzas, Pasta, and More at Hot City Pizza
- $10 for Two Hours of Open Jumping and Shoe Rental at Sky Zone Sacramento
- $35 for $80 Worth of Services at Luxe Salon & Spa
- $14 for $50 Worth of Entry, Cover, Food, Drinks, and Merchandise at Laughs
- $20 for $40 Worth of Wining and Dining at Back Wine Bar
