Let us know how it works out, Kev, though my feelings, after reading some of the posts about Groupon and how it works, aren't positive.

It sounds like you could be doing a lot of work, for very little return.

But maybe I don't understand it properly?

No you understand it correctly ;D
In return for doing a lot of work for little return, you can end up with a database of clients very quickly, but you have to be very clever with your offer and not let Groupon advise you on how to do it!
It really is a marketing exercise and a cheap way of getting customers, but at the expense of getting proper price work in :)

Good luck, I hope it works out for you. ;)

I have some experience of this but in another sector.

My experience (& of many others) is that the people who buy from Groupon are bargain hunters & who are not prepared to pay any more for the product/service than they get it for in the first place!

What sector was this in? The general consensus is that it works for restaurants, cinemas etc etc, but not great for service industries :)

If i can convert 10 to 20% as regular custys the campaign will be a success and will keep doing Groupon,i wont be earning great money but still more per hour for them jobs than someone working in a shop or a warehouse!

Kev, have you done a "groupon" before? There seems to be a thread earlier on October about it and nor sure it if it was you or not? If so, how did that one go for you and what area was the offer based in?
