It is amazing how fast Groupon has become such a highly recognized name in every business and every household. Was awesome to watch and I am an admitted addict to buying Groupons. One thing I thought about today as I was looking at my purchased Groupons is that you should redefine your concept of “gifting”. Instead of dec;aring a Groupon a gift at the time of purchase you should allow gifting purchased Groupons at any time. This dawned on me because of the holidays coming up. Kinda like a layaway program where you can stock up on Groupons and print them or send them as holiday gifts. Would be extra cool if for a small fee the Groupon could be put on a gift card and mailed out to the gift recipient with a message. What do you think? Someone already think of this?
