My buds and I have a new start up we're working on(whack-a-deal.com) that falls into the "daily deals" market with a twist. I know what you're thinking...not another daily deals site... This one has a twist and I'm looking to hear some suggestions to current sites like groupon, scoutmob, living social, etc. We've come up with a few suggestions for ourselves, but always love extra input. Here's what we're shooting for:
+ The ability to trade/buy/sell deals to each other + Using a "deal drop" method instead of a daily delivery. This means that deal drops will happen every few hours (depending on how many deals we have ready to go) + Multiple deals in each drop so you're not limited to "Karate Lessons" as your deal of the day + Local deals based on zip code (not major city). We've found out that a lot of people aren't buying them because they're too far away. + Deals on lots of online eCommerce stores (how we plan to start while we're building our local vendor base)
Harsh criticism is welcomed (as long as it's paired with suggestions)
Thanks! :)
