They were all successful and Groupon is the leader in the space so we figured we would get the most exposure by using them. Despite them being successful there always seemed to be something that went wrong. Groupon tries to sell these things as miscommunications which I don't buy. We have also run deals with living social and twongo. Both of these we not nearly as successful as the Groupon deals we have run.

The problem is that I can't help but get the feeling that Groupon doesn't really care about the success of the merchants business. All they care about is how many Coupons they are going to sell and how much money they are going to make off it.

Another incentive to stay with Groupon is that they have made us a preferred merchant which gives us a couple of advantages i.e. receiving our money from the deal much sooner than the average Groupon merchant.

Yes we are going to use Groupon again and again and again because for our business it has been a major customer acquisition strategy that we have solid numbers to prove is definitely working.
