Groupon: Collective Buying Power

…..Your email says, “which lives up to 600 years before metamorphosing into a human baby.” Um, WHAT? Is this a joke that I’m just not getting?

How big are the trees?

Hi FB

We work with propagators and planters to establish healthy, native trees needed to re-forest devastated areas.

They are 6 months and older before planted to ensure longevity

Allison,

Thank you for your question, but it is correct. :)

Our Groupon writers are colorful and creative, and our write-ups are not like most marketing/advertising copy you see. Groupon seeks to surprise our subscribers each morning with the unexpected. Our subscribers have come to appreciate the colorful humor we deliver each morning and our voice is what distinguishes our brand from others.

Enjoy this great deal!

Thanks,
Katy @ Groupon

WOW. I live in NY and just saw this amazing gift idea on Facebook. What a great idea and a great deal. Sending to parents, sisters and husband for Valentines Day. Also, unfortunately, I need a memorial dedication as well. Sending instead of flowers. Thank you Groupon and
Planttrees4life.

I cannot think of more fitting gift for all of the people in my life that far too many material things. Planting a tree for someone I love…. genius!

Thank you Jodie B and Dana D….
We have created a way to give an ECO-FRIENDLY GIFT to family, friends, loved ones and even people you just simply ‘like.’

We appreciate your support and spreading the word!

Have a great day!

Katy,

Thanks to the Groupon writers for putting in the part about “metamorphosing into a human baby.” I was having a rough morning, and that has made me laugh outloud (at work!) every time I have read it.

Also, this is a great idea for a Groupon. I have been particularly impressed with the offerings the last week or so. Keep it up!

What I’d really like is to be able to use “my” tree as a Christmas tree (tiny apartment), then have you plant it. Do you do that around the holidays? I looked a little but couldn’t find a good source for something like this, in December.

Thank you FB, it has been an idea we have considered though we are not at the point where we can execute something like this.

I read in the NY Times over X-mas there is a company out of NYC that was doing exactly what you stated. I think it is a great idea.

For now, our trees go directly to areas needing to re-forest…
Again, Thank you for your question and thoughts!
Best
Pamela @ PT4L

I can’t wait to give this as a gift! It is a beautiful and meaningful gift that I know will be appreciated. It feels fantastic to give a gift that will have a long lasting impact.

Thank you Ingrid B!!!

That is our ultimate goal…
A gift that is heart-felt, at the same time enhancing our environment, 1 tree at a time!

Have a great day…
Pamela @ PT4L

“Our Groupon writers are colorful and creative, and our write-ups are not like most marketing/advertising copy you see.”

Yeah….most humorous copy attempts to make funny jokes. Your writers are just weird. It’s pretty much the only complaint I have about Groupon… every morning I read my offer and shake my head wondering, “What kind of hallucinogens are we taking today?”

…….And we should all just get along and BUY TREES for each other and show the LOVE!
Pamela @ PT4L

Congrats Pamela!!!!

Sweet article..

A pair of love trees for a Valentine’s Day gift…what a great idea for my guy who has it all :)
Thanks PLANT TREES 4 LIFE …. I will be back … even at full price it’s a deal.

Thank you SO much ABC for all your orders, all the people you sent to Groupon and your words!
We couldn’t do this without people like you, who want to give something that will last beyond our lifetime!
I know your guy will appreciate your gift.

Groupon just chared my credit card for this AND I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS! I want my money back now! How did this happen?!

This is really odd that I was charged for this and I never even viewed this groupon. I am very concerned about my credit card info. I am on the phone with the bank now.

Katie,

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. You are right, this is very odd. I would ask that you contact our Customer Service department and they will be happy to help you out immediately.

Email Groupon at support@groupon.com or call (877) 788-7858 (during normal business hours, central time)

Thanks,
Katy @ Groupon

Thank you Katy. I spoke to someone at Groupon and they are giving me a refund. They really did not know how it happened but there have been no other charges so it was just a freak thing—-I hope. thanks for responding.

Great gift idea and I’m glad there’s a way to give a gift without buying more stuff. How long until we receive the Tree-Free Certificate? I was hoping to give it as a Valentine’s Day gift (sent PTFL all my groupon info on 2/4). Thanks!
