Have you heard of groupon.com? Consumers register to receive daily offers from businesses right in their own home town, which they can purchase that day.
One of the most compelling ideas behind the business use of the Groupon tool is that consumers have to put some skin in the game in order to try your business out. This isn’t simply a free offer.
When a Groupon user walks in your door, they are already a customer; they’ve spent money with your business in order to take you up on the deal.

the golden rule
of strategy
(how to best
your rivals)
[read]
harvardbusinessreview.org |
The single most common competitive mistake business leaders make is this: striving to do slightly better what their fiercest rival already does incredibly well.
