I also have some customers that have asked me my advice on doing a Groupon deal, and my gut reaction has always been "crunch the numbers, do your research, and you'll probably want to steer clear". Now hearing that they charge a transaction fee on each purchase, in addition to 50% of the purchase price, there's no way I will ever recommend to one of my customers without taking a really hard look at what they can honestly service. Mark, great post!

And you did well to do such in depth follow up with your client after their Groupon ran. I was shocked to hear that it actually put a business under, but not after your explanation. @justincambria Excellent post Mark, you really hit all the points as to how Groupon can be outstanding but also dangerous.
