Title: Bitcoin coupon book? Groupon? Post by: Elwar on December 13, 2011, 02:17:28 PM One thing that may help Bitcoin take off would be a coupon book for discounts at stores that take Bitcoins. I saw a coupon book for sale for $5 with a bunch of great deals. I have purchased books for as much as $20 knowing that I would be able to get half off at some decent places. A coupon book where you get the discount when you use Bitcoins may be a decent thing to try out.
Also, to get local Bitcoin use going, a Groupon type of setup would be decent. The way Groupon works is that you pay up front for a local service at a considerable discount. The retailer gets paid up front and honors the vouchers. This could easily be done in Bitcoin. Even for businesses that do not accept Bitcoin. Title: Re: Bitcoin coupon book? Groupon?

my site, thebitcoinreview.com (http://www.thebitcoinreview.com) could have a "Deal of the day" page. over the holidays I might have some time to implement this Title: Re: Bitcoin coupon book?

Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on December 14, 2011, 04:48:53 AM Funny you should mention that for I was thinking about that same thing today, again (I believe I've mentioned something like this a couple months back). The reason for rethinking it is because I received in the mail a magazine size/type deal with pages of coupons for local business, with most of the restaurants have 50% off any meal when using their coupon. As I flipped the pages, I kept thinking to myself how Bitcoin could be incorporated into all this.
Another thing is this: Quote http://www.hotfrog.com/companies/Coffee-Mug-Advertising-Tumbler-Advertising/images/Coffee-Mug-Advertising-Tumbler-Advertising_274056_image.jpg One of our local restaurants has these coffee cups advertising local business (nearby the restaurant). My insurance agent has an ad on those cups. I spoke with the rep over a year ago when they were delivered, but didn't get a price (didn't ask), although he tried to sell me on the idea by saying the cost is reasonable. I believe their website may provide an answer. Just thinking out loud, here. |
