Daily Deal Sites Take 50 Percent Cut From Small Businesses

Advertising

Groupon, Living Social and local 50% off deal sites offer customers half off or more for services/products usually from small business. However it costs the small business a hefty amount, not only are they discounting 50% of their product, but also these sites take a 50% cut! Many small business have closed, and/or gone into debt after signing with these companies. Although they advertise it as a DEAL... It isn't a deal for the business, for the economy, for the towns where these local business are lost. I suggest you see the deal on these sites, but don't buy it from them! Call the business direct and ask them for the same deal cutting out the big bad wolf! Keep it local!
