Ryan S BJ Hookers Vodka Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Groupon has been great all the way around for us. Are there any issues with having both a groupon campaign as well as a living social campaign? What are pros and cons of living social? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestar Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 We have had both for years. Initially, the Living Social outperformed. But then they kept changing their algorithm. Each time, it got less response. Most recently, Groupon was outperforming Living Social 20:1 for us. They clearly are addressing different parts of the market, but whatever Living Social was doing to make things better, it just made it worthless. When the most recent campaign ended, we decided to through in the towel on Living Social. Also, Groupon was more flexible on the margin terms than Living Social, by more than a factor of 2. Living Social also had an advantage that it ran Amazon in parallel, but then Amazon dropped out. Groupon has since bought Living Social, so we won't consider Living Social until we see it integrated.

Lenny Gotter Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 We used Groupon for the bulk tasting campaign and for Living Social we used that platform to book private parties. Here is another tip, the more expensive your Groupon, the bigger the perceived value and the more you will sell. We bundled a premium tasting for two with locally made chocolates made with our spirits, a premium cocktail, and a short tour for $60 retail, $30 on Groupon. The higher the "perceived" value the more you will sell, a lot more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
