Posies Cafe found that a Groupon offer brought in plenty of people -- but cost them way too much money. Easy to blame Groupon for wanting to keep too much of the cut. But note the comments, too -- more a lesson for business owners to think carefully about what exactly they'll offer, to better tap into group buying services.

In both cases, be sure to read the comments, which offer a lot of good perspectives.
All my retail clients are thinking about Groupon because they see the revenue potiential. I thnk very few account for the costs. Great post for them to read.

I'm glad it worked! @Jill I'm looking forward to the changes. I don't participate as much as before but still rely on Sphinn and SEOdojo news to filter out the good stuff :)
