Savings in Numbers: Groupons, or Group Coupons
There is a new online discount sweeping the country this holiday season — groupons or group coupons.
It is a revolutionary new service from groupon.com, where collective buying power means big savings for online bargain hunters.
“I’ve already got Christmas done this year, and I didn’t have to go anywhere. they are all from Groupon,” frequent groupon user Lisa English said.
English checks Groupon.com’s daily offers every morning for the deals, which can mean as much as 80 percent off the original price.
“What I’m doing is finding new adventures. I’m going places we’ve never been,” English said.
In Dallas, 225 customers experienced a relaxing day at the Hiatus Spa and Retreat for a fraction of the cost, all through groupon.com.
Spa owner bill Garrison said it is good for business because it brought in hundreds of new customers.
“Groupon is targeted to local communities, so you’re advertising and reaching out to people in your immediate area. You’re not looking at potential customers, they are bringing you actual customers,” Garrison said.
Groupon.com operates in 35 cities and claims to have made more than 800,000 deals.
Deals are available for everything from spa treatments to sky diving lessons, limo rides, wine clubs, even teeth cleaning.
But it is not enough to want the coupon yourself; you have to hope that five of your friends and five of their friends and so on also sign up. once the minimum amount is met the deal begins.
“I tell a lot of my friends about it,” Caryn Cochran said.
