Consumer Discount Programs

So my recent question that has been nagging at me is, are they going to kill the Golden Goose and how long will it take?

I live in the Phoenix area. Groupon, Living Social, Deal Chicken, Yoodle, Metromix, Dine4az.com, Yelp, plus the countless offers coming in all directions. We all know that these are just the tip of the iceberg because the folks over at Google are not going to stand on the sidelines and watch.

Also a number of other local platforms are joining the fray every day. My clients call me weekly to tell me about someone else who called them about their website offer.

I can only get so many bikini waxes (as a guy), I can only get so many facials, I can only get so many massages.

So when will all of these offers just become white noise to the consumer and when will advertisers pull the plug and realize the only way they can get the cash register to ring is by taking a bath on discounting.

The number of offers coming to my inbox…the quality of offers and the timing are going to kill the great idea that surfaced.

Someone should have some restraint and put a cap on this flood before we all die in a river of cheap products.
