New Coupon Site Offers 50%-90% Coupons Today’s Report by Sara Tolinson
Since the inception and mega success of daily deal and coupon sites, the world has seen hundreds of Groupon clones rise and fall. Experts claim that the daily deal industry has probably been one of the most expensive lessons for American Entrepreneurs to date. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been wasted by would-be Entrepreneurs that thought they could feed off of the table scraps of sites like Groupon.com and LivingSocial.com.
What they didn't see coming was a simple fact that even the giants in the industry are not turning a profit. Enter DailyScoup.com: The all new coupon/daily deal hybrid that allows consumers to get 50%-90% “Scoupons” for just $1. That's right, just a buck. Here is how it works: You reserve your Scoupon for $1, and then redeem the Scoupon directly with the merchant when you are ready to buy the deal. Since DailyScoup.com is free for Merchants and they keep 100% of the sale when customers redeem their Scoupons, customers tend to see deals that are better than what is found on Groupon and its clones. Customers save and Merchants save, creating a real win-win!
As thousands rush to the site daily to be the first in line to get the (limited) deals, Merchants are reaping the benefits like never before. I had the chance to sit down with DailyScoup.com’s Founder and CEO David McPherson to ask a few questions on why he believes that DailyScoup.com is the supply to the huge demand by saving savvy shoppers.
Sara: “David, here you are going up against the giants. After seeing the rise and fall of the daily deal world, are you sure you want to jump in the ring?”
David: “I am! The typical daily deal business model has already to be proven to be a rape and pillage model that is not sustainable. Most Merchants lose way too much money and in the end the Consumer looks like the bad guy for taking advantage of the Merchant.
Since most daily deal sites take roughly 50% of the entire offer, the Merchant simply bears too much loss. To the contrary, since DailyScoup.com is completely free for the Merchants, we see a bit better deal and we find the Merchants coming back for round two, three, and even four in most cases. We built DailyScoup.com to provide great savings to Consumers while at the same time help the Merchants turn a profit. It’s most definitely a win-win scenario.
From what we have found it’s actually the most cost effective way for a Merchant to get a new customer as well. Think about it, on average the typical price to attract a Customer is about $14. With DailyScoup.com.... it's FREE! It is really exciting to be spearheading this new way to do business with merchants. Thank you so much Sara for sharing DailyScoup.com with your audience.”
Sara: “Wow…that is good stuff David! I know many merchants and consumers will thank you for your courage to change the industry, especially in these challenging economic times. I cannot wait to follow your progress in the months and years to follow.”
Well, that wraps up our report on DailyScoup.com. Visit them today to learn more about this revolutionary new service.
