Groupon
The world’s still in a recession, but with deals abounding everywhere, who cares? The Point started Groupon late last year to present Chicagoans and other cities with “unbeatable prices through the power of group buying.” Every day, Groupon sends out an email to subscribers offering deals including eighty-seven-percent-off dental exams, discounts on sporting events, hot dogs, mani-pedis and even skydiving. A certain number of people have to purchase the daily deal in order for everyone to get it, but after twenty-four hours, the deal becomes extinct.
