		<description>Thank you for having me there. I had a blast talking to Allan about Agile and attending the demos. You guys definitely have a fun (skateboarding in the hallway) and creative work environment.

The group buy and the social media reputation management applications are amazing. They speak volume to the effectiveness of an open and collaborative environment.

		<title>Comment on Selling group buying to SMBs &#8211; how to do it better than Groupon. by Mari Lee</title>

		<description>If Rice University&#039;s survey is skewed toward those motivated to voice a complaint, Groupon&#039;s assertion that 95% of businesses would go again must be wildly skewed.  Search for &quot;Groupon complaints&quot; for an eye-opening array of dissatisfied businesses.  

The difficulty for most retailers is clear:  in order to provide a Groupon coupon that attracts attention, the offer must be so good that it appeals to the coupon hopper customer who probably can&#039;t afford your products or services on a regular basis.  Essentially, Groupon coupons attract the wrong customer, and because of Groupon&#039;s share, the retailer pays more per customer than they would with any other advertising method.  Television, for example, has long been a staple of local advertising, and the quality of commercials has vastly improved via established advertising agencies such as Cheap-TV-Spots.com.  Retailers can craft a TV offer that they&#039;re comfortable with, and with a well-planned air time schedule, reach many potential customers who might never even venture onto a group coupon site.</description>
