The Local Business Guide to Daily Deals

THE LOCAL BUSINESS GUIDE TO DAILY DEALS thedealmix 4 MUST HAVE ELEMENTS TO DESIGNING A PROFITABLE DEAL Daily deals can be beneficial to local business if done right. Key considerations to structuring a deal. • Know the capacity limits of your business. Set the last day of your deal to a slow day (likely not Fri/Sat) Length of deal should be long enough so everyone doesn't come at once (> 1 month) It should not last forever - utilize breakage (i.e. users who don't redeem; < 8months) Ask the deal site for total # of users and % of purchasers on average for your category • If your deal sells out, exposure can be as valuable as a purchase. A sold out deal seems desirable and you can usually run it again. EXPIRATION QUANTITY DATE TERMS / RESTRICTIONS PRICE Decide what your goals are: Immediate profit vs. Long term customer value Determine the minimum price to cover costs • Negotiate terms if goal is short term profit. Only offer deal during slow times (i.e. lunchtimes, weekdays, non holidays, etc.) Offer deal for new customers only Know the average customer spend, set value of offer below this to maximize overspend Limit number of vouchers one can purchase CASE STUDY: MAKING DAILY DEALS WORK FOR YOUR BUSINESS Avoid the daily deal horror stories.
