Explore Your City Without Paying Full Price

If you haven’t heard about the Groupon concept, you may be missing out on a really fantastic thing.

Groupon is self explanatory… it’s a Group-Coupon, hence the name Groupon. You receive huge discounts while discovering new activities in your city.

Groupon is a “deal-of-the-day” website that is localized to major cities around the U.S. And Canada (it’s already in dozens of city’s and growing). Once you sign up with Groupon, (free signup and feeds from Facebook and Twitter as well) you will receive daily discounts and specials for your best local businesses.

Here’s how it works: Groupon organizes huge discounts on popular local goods, sevices and cultural events. Next they offer the deals to thousands of groupon subscribers in dozens of cities across the country in a free daily email with one incredible deal from the best local businesses in each city. If enough people sign up for a deal, (this is collective buying power!) the deal will activate so subscribers get a GREAT value and the businesses get a lot of new customers. It’s a win-win situation!

Groupon is more than just a deal site, it is a cityguide, a social tool and the best way to experience your city without paying full price.

Personalized: When you sign up, (you have the choice of either subscribing to the daily email, or you can check in daily if you prefer) you will tell Groupon a bit about yourself starting with zip code, gender and age-and they will make sure that you get the deals that are most relevant to you. And don’t worry, you’ll still be able to see other deals with your city’s featured deal of the day.

Mobile: With your mobile you will be able to access any deal with just the touch of a button, keep track of of your Groupons by location, date and expiration, and be able to redeem them anytime you want. Another really cool feature is the ability to search for nearby Groupons using GPS. This saves trees!

Gifts: In addition to enjoying all the benefits of Groupon yourself, why not give Groupon as a gift? It’s like giving the gift of local adventure to friends, family or anyone who needs to get out of the house more. You’ll actually be giving gifts worth twice what you paid, and without going shopping, wrapping presents or paying shipping. Groupon gift certificates are also available.
