we've offered groupon offers. clean a bunch of carpets at give away prices to introduce new clients to our services. the hopes like everyone who goes with groupon or living social or any of the many discount services is that once you try us and see how good we are you'll want us back at the regular price.
Maybe you will. maybe you'll want to just go with another give away priced cleaner every time.
I bought a discount sushi offer. It was great, the chief was very personable and i now have a new favorite sushi shop. Chief Soon in maple ave in Lisle, IL. very nice. please try it.
I wouldn't have found him if he didn't offer the deal. but I'll confess, it spoils me. I love to shop and don't mind wasting some time looking for what ever i need.
So, will i only shop at sushi shops on sale?
Nope. found an all you can eat sushi shop. it took me twice to figure out they were a bad deal. giant loafs of rice, gossamer thin slices of sushi and not very fresh. you ate the eel at your own peril. horrible. you get what you pay for.
we all want a deal. it's great. but if the only way anyone can sell is at a 75% mark down while online vendor take the lions share, while we put up the sushi and rug sucking then we lose everything while another vendor ignores what's happening and steps up for his turn.
I suppose the goal is to get enough loyal clients so you don't have to give your stuff away.
in this economy it still is possible but it'll take a whole lot more work than it used to.
