You can't look at groupon as a money making venture. You have to approach it as a very cheap and effective way for a small business like yourself to advertise. I've lived in MN for a long time and am a "green" mommy who loves to buy eco products. We cloth diaper, the whole nine yards. And yet I have never heard of your store until I was hunting around for "chewbeads" recently and found your store listed as a retailer on the chewbeads website. I would have been in your store had I known it existed. Groupon is the largest coupon company out there and people like myself keep tabs on it. By posting a deal, you directly market to people like myself. The reason I am posting is because I am a stanch supporter of business like Pacifier, businesses who think outside the box, are on-offs and offer an alternative to walmart like stores like Babies-R-Us. Your biggest struggle is getting eyes on your company, and this is where groupon can change that. If you decide to do groupon, come up with some sort of deal or points system (like a punchcard, something similar to what Carter's does) that keeps people coming back. Get them to fill out their contact info when they come to use their groupon for a chance to win a crib or stroller or something. That way you will always have their eyes via mail for future sales or promotions.<br /><br />Good luck!<br />KristineKristinehttp://liberatedmind.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944262716987405549.post-41611790146038771702011-05-22T13:37:36.393-05:002011-05-22T13:37:36.393-05:00Is this offer a no go since there was not 100 peop...Is this offer a no go since there was not 100 people by 5/15?

We add paint, glitter, glue, anything we can find onto our pieces of art.
