So after creating an offer for one my clients I received this weeks later…. what’s wrong with this picture? Is this the start of the end for Groupon, these type of stunts only will serve to turn people and businesses off. Go Google.
The fact that it took weeks to get this ridiculous response is absurd in itself.
Groupon is a target for dozens of deal sites.
| Hi,
It looks like you’ve recently created a deal through Groupon Stores…thanks!
Unfortunately, due to overwhelming deal creation demand, we won’t be able to run your deal at this time. We apologize for this inconvenience, but wanted you to be aware that you’re still able to run Follower-Promoted deals through the Groupon Stores platform. Once you have 25 followers (instructions below), you can create deals and promote them to your Groupon followers, email subscribers and Facebook and Twitter followers.
We have lots of new and exciting ways to further utilize Groupon coming down the pipeline and you will absolutely be the first to hear about them.
Thanks again,
Your friends at Groupon
How do I gain Groupon followers for my store so I can start creating deals?
You can email and post on Facebook and Twitter a direct link to your Groupon Store, where visitors will be able to click a “Follow” button. Once you have 25 followers, you will be able to create deals using the Groupon platform. These deals will go directly to all of your followers but you can also easily promote these via email, Facebook and Twitter as well. Any subsequent purchasers of your deals will automatically become part of your followers.
How do I set up a Follower-Promoted deal?
Once you have 25 followers, all you need to do is login to our website and go to your “Merchant Center”. Then, click on the “create deal” button. This will bring you back to the deal creation page where you will need to create your new deal. Then click “next step” and you will schedule when your deal will launch. You can also make any other changes you’d like to the deal (i.e. fine print, title etc.). |
