GrouponBot – Great Way To Spot National Trends on Groupon
You
remember Groupon, right? It is a website where you can register by city and
they’ll email you daily coupons for great deals in your area. The program is
booming across America, Canada, Europe, and Asia. If you’re business savvy,
this could be a great outlet for your company to advertise your brand and to
offer up discounts because, honestly, who doesn’t enjoy saving money? Exactly.

Let
me deliver a friendly tip to you. Since all Groupon deals close at the end of
the day, check out GrouponBot in the morning and then again at night to see how
people are responding to various offers. You’ll be able to see exactly how many
people have utilized each of the advertised coupons. Closing times are in the local
time zones. GrouponBot updates every 30 minutes 24/7/365
As
for the deals, here’s a few note-worthy discounts featured recently on Groupon
and picked up by GrouponBot.
· You could spend $25 and get $50 worth of wall décor
(including framed art, prints, and posters) Check it out;
they have some great items.
· Do you need to suit up for an upcoming occasion? You
could snag a Groupon for $150 worth of men’s custom apparel for only $50.
· If you require an early morning pick me up, you can
spend $19 and get $39 worth of coffee from The Bean Coffee Co. Yum.
If
you want to see if Groupon would work for your business, first sign up to get
their local deals.Then, if you
see an opportunity for your company contact a sales representative and give it
a try.
The
bottom line: Groupon is a fantastic tool that you can utilize in your overall
marketing effort to spread the word about your business! For a Groupon consultation about whether it would work for your business please contact the author.

Re: Does a New Company need a "Big" PR firm?
- I agree with SHri, it really depends on the target audience and how much service you really need.
if you are doing National campaign than you want a firm that has the National contacts. Lots of smaller companies dont have as many resources or connections.
Many firms are going to a pay for performance model which I think will do the PR and advertising industry good. no more $5000 retainers for sending out a couple of press releases - no matter how well written or targeted!
if they dont get picked up, they dont get paid.

Those retainers were insane and from a lot of people I talk with, the company really wasn't earning it at all. Other firms earned every penny, but its easy for some people to get comfortable doing as little as possible and still taking those retainers. Pay for performance can help make people "hungry" - when they are "hungry", then tend to be more motivated.

Re: "Diversity" Is Costing Us Dearly!
- Hi WendyGirl33,
Thanks for this post. This is your 2nd post, not many have made such an impressive contribution to start with. Excellent.
What can we say about this subject and be constructive. One thing is sure, nothing stays the same for ever. Trends change, fashions change, peoples perspective change etc. In fact we can never exhaust the continous changes that take place all around us. Many of the changes happen without us recognizing it until later; sometimes too late to stop it, if need be.
PS, English is my second/third language. If you can write the above better, please do it an let me know.
I want to learn to write better and better.
Ranked #1 in just over 7 weeks
- Hi all. i wanted to post this here just because I'm really happy with the results I've seen.
Last week I was looking at my analytics and noticed I had a hit from a search engine using the term "mlm blogs". I researched it, and between "mlm blogs" and mlm blog" there are over 70,000 searches a month. On the down side, when you search for it, you get 22,900,000 results (not suing quotes).
I started digging and found myself on page 5 in the 3rd spot. Spot #43 of almost 23 million wasn't too bad, so I decided to try and push it up some. After doing so, I noticed this morning (5 days later) that I managed to make it up to page one, in the 10th spot. There are a couple of very specific sites holding the top couple of spots, so getting #1 may not be easy, but I hope to see #3 or 4 soon.
Thanks to all who take the time to read my little post.
