Have
you said good-bye to your manicurist, your hairstylist and your gym instructor
for Groupon specials? Have you gone back to the new stylist or manicurist or
exercise class at regular price? NO? Well GS you are!
No
doubt everyone loves a bargain. Groupon deals are 50% up to 90% off the regular
price of goods or services. It is hard to resist with daily emails and
GrouponNow deals. Of course there is Living Social, Amazon deals and even AA
deals. Just in case you are telling yourself that you are not a Groupon Slut
because you use Living Social, sorry!
I
am not saying the deals aren’t fantastic, they are. What I am saying is that
many small businesses using Groupon or other discount coupon companies want new
business but to survive need some coupon customers to come back as a regular
customer.
I
think it is a great way to try a new restaurant, new nail application or an
exercise class. Perfect way to try a
winery tour or a fun activity. Who knew there were so many kinds of facials,
yoga or float tanks or salt rooms for relaxation? I am reluctant to even
consider a Groupon for Lasik surgery, Plastic Surgery, Permanent Make-up or
Teeth Whitening! Call me crazy but some procedures need more than a good
discount to get my business.
Am
I being too cautious? Have you tried a more permanent procedure using a
Groupon? What’s your best Groupon experience?

I rarely buy a groupon.a - I am a loyal customer b - sometimes they expire before I use them.
Oh well - I miss some bargains I guess.
That is a great point and many companies know that redemption rates may not be as high as sales. Good for the companies, bad for the customer!
I'm with you, Groupons are for restaurants and spas, not medical procedures.
I'm glad I am not alone! Thanks Dianne.
MEDICAL procedures? You've got to be kidding me. No way.
I don't use Groupon, I found it annoying. Good service and rewarding customer loyalty work for me.
You are the perfect customer Nicole!!
