for Groupon
Absolutely fantastic experience. It gave many guests the opportunity to try us for the first time and the best part is that now so many Groupon buyers come back as repeat guests.
Steakhouse Restaurant
for LivingSocial
We created a menu of related add-on items for our new guests (and they are thanking us for it!). Living Social did as promised - no surprises except for how well we did. So we did it again, and the results were even better the 2nd time.
Art Classes
for LivingSocial
A terrible business decision...to try to fill seats for what turned out to be a sold-out concert. We could have sold all the seats at full price, not at the extremely discounted price we did with LivingSocial. Also, because the concert was so full...we made more new enemies than friends the night of the concert. I am refusing to ever do a LivingSocial deal again.
Symphony & Orchestra
for Groupon
Groupon...have destroyed the medspa industry by diluting price points, and stealing market space. Additionally, Groupon has had the effect of catapulting mediocre medspa's, who have no talent for building their businesses through traditional methods, to over night (if only temporary) success.
Laser Hair Removal
for Angie's List Big Deal
Offering a BIG DEAL was one of the best decisions I have made. The staff at Angies List were really great at helping me put it together. The customer clientele we drew from the Big Deal were the most pleasant people to work with.
Home Services
for Angie's List Big Deal
Very underwelmed! We only received a very few calls, which amounted to a very poor return on our investment.
Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning
for Yelp Deals
It was a great experience and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to participate. I got so many new clients and everybody was awesome and supportive, I could not be happier. Several of the clients have already been repeats and even took the time to write reviews that have helped me get even more business.
Beauty & Personal Care
for Yelp Deals
Our business is targeted at a narrow audience. The Yelp deal brought in bargain seekers and unprecedented negative Yelp reviews. Fortunately we still have an average 4 star rating.
Food & Drinks
for Urban Dealight
We loved our experience with Urban Dealight. They were very accommodating and as a small business owner... they made it very easy on me... When we signed up for the deal, I was counting on maybe 20, no more than 50 sold. When we reached over 100, we were so excited we could not believe it.
Pet Boarding/Pet Sitting
for Urban Dealight
Brought in the type of customers we DON'T want to cater to. People that expect more for less and no repeat business because they expect to pay less.
Photography
for OpenTable Spotlight
Amazing....the BEST promotion I ever ran!!
American/Traditional Restaurant
for Tippr
Excellent! Great customers with one of the best return rates of any of the deal sites I have worked with so far:)
Acupuncture
for Tippr
They repeatedly changed debut dates. I never saw the deal on Facebook. It was almost a complete waste of my business time and resources.
Walking Tours
for Zozi
Zozi is terrific to work with, they work with your business to create a "win-win" for both your business and zozi. Zozi works hard to customize each and every deal with you to make the best deal possible, they don't follow some cookie cutter models and try to sell it to fit your business.
Outdoor Pursuits
for Zozi
I will not work with Zozi again. They are the least favorite I four 'deal' services I have used...
Dance Lessons
for KGB Deals
KGB was really great to work with. I sold 13 appointments and was connected to many more deal companies because of KGB. I am a smaller company, so the 13 is a great start for us.
Beauty & Personal Care
for KGB Deals
I know we were one of the first companies to run a deal with KGB, so we only sold 22. We would have preferred 220.
