SurveyBonus.NetDaily Deal Secrets Exposed!!
Daily deals are sites that connect you to deep discounts at local merchants. They rotate those every day with new restaurants, shopping, spas, movies, shows, etc until you find something you like.
Update… there is a new service toolbar called “Drop Down Deals” that let you have access to a ton of these deals easily and in one place. I highly recommend it. Check out the link at the top to grab it now.
What Do Daily Deals Do? (hehe)
They’re all worth the time and effort to sort through, but you need to know a few things first:
- They’ll all email you daily deals so if you’re signed up for multiple companies, you’ll get a lot of opportunity to check out the best your town has to offer.
- Some companies focus on only a select few markets, so if you’re not in those markets, you might not need to sign up just yet.
- Each of them are going to create some big buzz for the vendor. Try to either get in quick to try their product or service, or pace it out a bit to get the best experience.
- They make their money as a reverse advertising company, charging the local company based on total sales rather than up front and hope for sales. It’s a win / win for both parties.
Here is the top US based deal finders.. We’ll publish detailed reviews of each to give you the low down as we test them over time.
- Groupon – Biggest and if not first, first to do it right.
- LivingSocial - Right on Groupon’s heals and anyone who can’t get their offering on Groupon goes to them next.
- Dealfind – Growing like a weed!! Smaller, but we like them so far.
- Eversave - More targeted and niche toward women and mothers.
Our Testing Results
We tried each daily deal. We have a mixture of men and women and we each took two services out of a hat and signed up, watched the offers and then wrote answered some surveys about each. We dug through the numbers and were surprised to find the results were pretty much the same on all genders and age ranges.
Groupon Results
Selection
They had the right balance of offers for everyone as it kept people coming back to check since they had priority deals. Women were twice as likely to check every day, but men actually bought more deals than women. Average savings was dramatic, over 50% for each.
Effect
Groupon stores and services were often packed, but with a little pre-planning, all were able to redeem their groupon coupons easily. We had the heads up from some Groupon pros to call ahead and schedule any personalized services early, and to ask for their slow times for retail items.
Groupon is a clear winner in this category so far. Results of all our detail testing will come later, but from the preliminary results, people that signed up for Groupon were 500% more likely to buy a deal and describe the offerings as “Interesting” or “Very Interesting” each day.
I have used all three and like them all. It is fun to try new places and use the coupons! Thank you for your reviews!
Love Groupon.
I have used both Groupon and LivingSocial. Like both of them. I have just signed up to Dealfind. I think these are great ideas and will use them alot in the future.
Thanks for the isnight. It brings light into the dark!
Are any of these for a specific area such as Newnan?
I disagree with your evaluation of Groupon vs. Living Social. Living Social deals are typically more upscale, their presentation of the deals more apppealing to the eye, and their copy often amusing! Living Social ranks #1 in my book!!!
I have had Groupon and used it. I just find that MOST of the deals are not for me.
this is great
So exicted I found this article as it made things much quicker!
All the deals available on Groupon a always at least an hour away. I don’t live in the “sticks”. I’m just a few miles from Danbury, CT, a fairly large city. Why is it that everything that is offered is always in the Hartford area?
It’s about time smeoone wrote about this.
I LOVE SuddenValues.com very local and can find it in other towns when I travel~
very nice..
No more s***. All posts of this quatliy from now on
I just purchased 1/2 price tickets for the Shakespeare Festival – great deal. Many of the offers are for things that I would not use.
Great hammer of Thor, that is powerfully hlepful!
Sounds like a bunch of TROLLS to me. Does anyone NEED this much stuff, or are you being enticed to buy stuff you don’t really need? Sponser driven consumerism is for FOOLS.
One a Groupon policy change was sent to me, it gave Groupon my permission to share (or sell) information from your members to other companies. I quit when I realized that, I would rather maintain control an receive emails that I really want.
I have been using Groupon and Eveversave.
Both are useful.
I like these deals however when you show your coupon first in the resturants; there is a big difference in the meal that you will actually receive versus what you would’ve got if you had not shown them.
I don’t like this part of it-because I have been served stuff I’ve had to send back and I NEVER send things back.
i think is realy good
nice one!
Just cause it’s smilpe doesn’t mean it’s not super helpful.
have been using Groupon and Eveversave.
Both are useful
