Groupon Predictions

[Jtuseo]

Here are my Groupon Predictions.

The Groupon stock price will be under $20 per share by Christmas. In two years the stock will be under $5 per share. However if the company evolves into something different. This can change , but if they stay to the same business plan They will no longer exist in December 2013. Let it be heard and let it be said. If the company is over $5 per share in two years I will mail Mikey 2 tickets to any sporting event in the San Fran/ Oakland area Or a gift card to a veggie restaurant.

I think Groupon was a flash in the pan.
Interesting idea, but unfortunately too easy of a model to duplicate. Everyone and their mother are now offering "Deal Of The Day" specials, with much higher payouts.

 

[Charlie Lyman]

They should have sold the company when it was good.

Most stock experts pretty much predict what you are saying.
What amazes me though, is that there are lots of people out there actually buying the stock.

Greed is the problem now. If the deal was 75% value and the took 20% it may be a win for business, new clients, and groupon. But as it is set up now the business offering the deal and ther existing clients take a big hit.

Does anybody really give a shit about groupon?

Only desperate carpet cleaners play that stupid game for short term price shopping customers.

 

[Chris A]

Not really. I did it (am doing it) and Im not hurting for work. In fact, we've grown 20% per year for the last 3 yearswith and were just trying to gain some new clients. Not every customer is going to be someone you want, but its still a pretty low risk way to mass market. What other medium allows you to pay for only the jobs you sell?

Nobody will buy that deal.

I've done the deals where the price is a "little" higher and I got a higher percentage....People don't buy as many.

Don't get me wrong...I'm good with a few less customers at more money but there is a break point where you won't sell any.

Groupon gives people what they want....That's not necessarily what "WE" want...But if you do it right....You can get what you want.

If you're a smart businessman....It's a great deal.

If your a whiney baby carpet cleaner who thinks the world owes him something...Then you won't do well at all.


I've never.......listen....Never done any other form of advertising that brought in more customers quickly that turned into money.
The "Turning into money" is the part that most guys just don't get.

But I told myself I wouldn't promote it anymore on here...I'm happy doing all the business in my areas myself.

:shock:
Three hundred and ten years? Daaaamn! :mrgreen:

 

[Chris A]

Whoops, 3 years.

 

[Desk Jockey]

uummm I'll overlook it this time but make sure you're more accurate from now on!

Didn't hit me last week on my counting? What do they say about payback? :mrgreen:

 

[rwcarpet]

I give no coupons.....no specials. I value my time and experience in this business, and my regular custys apprieciate that. I'm not hauling my equipment, my helper, my back.....out to clean a whole house for $50. I'll let the B&S and newbys run the coupons.

Groupon has run it's course in this area, making way for "deal of the day". Groupon may work well with other businesses such as resturants.

Groupon may work well for businesses like Brians, which is sub contracting, which isn't bad if it's bringing in the bucks.

Lol, that's cool Bob, different strokes. Obviously for someone who's business is where they want to be its not worth it, but then again, what marketing would be. And my business is 26 years old, I've just only owned it for 4.

It's a just a quick way to grow you customer base quick...Get more jobs...and make more money...No B&S here...But I do offer my other services.

I don't really sub that much anymore...I'm cleaning myself here in Richardson TX and I lease out my other company in Sacramento.

The Network has me busy too.

Like Chris said..To each his own. If you can do it your way...More power to you.
