My deal from October expires Saturday, we've stopped scheduling the 3-room deals as of now and are only scheduling for the value of the voucher ($49.) I'm not trying to say that Groupon is good or bad, just reporting my findings
Total amount of Groupons sold= 264
x. our cut ($24.50) = $6468 (Paid in 3 installments ending 60 days from sale)
+ Add. sales = $6827 (Could have done better but some just DIDNT want to add anything)
Total Revenue =$13,295
/185 Jobs completed=$71.86 (factoring the 20 or so we have scheduled out a week or so.)
So, at the end of the day, WE didn't lose money on the groupon, we made a profit (although a slim one) For first time customers though, I'll take it. Also, out of 264 sold, we will only clean about 185, so there's $1935 of free money right there. I still don't know if we'll do it again, it's a huge pain in the ass when 50 people call in one day, or when you get a batch of 20 cheap assholes at once who will do anything in their power to not spend more money with you, but all in all, I would call our groupon a success. I will say, however, that I probably will not work with Groupon themselves again, our rep has changed 3 times and they are completely inept at answering questions or helping customers with problems.
