Groop Swoop Brings The Power Of Promotional Marketing For Small Businesses To The Next Level

Nov. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- Today, Groop Swoop, the company devoted to bringing incredible deals to San Francisco locals, introduced Social Bargaining, a way for consumers to experience local businesses and services through exclusive promotions available to Groop Swoop members.  By offering merchants a minimum “group” of new customers in return for an outrageous discount, Groop Swoop utilizes the latest social media and email technology to promote local businesses and create an innovative and fun way to learn about the best deals in town.  Users can sign up for free and start “swooping” on new daily deals today at: www.groopswoop.com.

Groop Swoop understands all sides of the business transaction, especially its importance in economic times like these, and gives consumers the upper hand by acting as the broker between them and small businesses.  By negotiating ridiculously high discounts with merchants - to the likes of those associated with Black Friday or designer sample sales - Groop Swoop brings the best of the city to users in one simple click.  

Additionally, merchants also reap the benefits from working with Groop Swoop, exposing their business to thousands of local consumers through exclusive marketing of their products and services for a pre-determined amount of time.  Because merchants offer discounted products and services to the Groop Swoop community, in turn, this promotion is complimentary and includes custom graphics and a jazzy write-up that highlights the businesses’ unique services.

"I am thrilled to bring Groop Swoop to the masses as the platform for Social Bargaining,” said Taylor Wang, Co-Founder, Groop Swoop.   “We bring the best to both worlds completely risk free - with our customer receiving a great deal to try something exciting and new, and our merchants receiving new clients without spending marketing or ad dollars.  In times like these when budgets are tight, Groop Swoop is a great way to save some money and still have a lot of fun.”
 
Your Friend in the Discount Business
"Groop Swoop was a pleasure to do business with – they not only answered all my questions in the most professional way, but they also assured me with patience that my promotion with Groop Swoop would be successful,” sais Marianna Burmenko, Owner, Mara’s Salon.  “We are already seeing results at the Hayes Valley storey, with new customers coming through the door all because of Groop Swoop! It’s a great feeling knowing that Groop Swoop is driving our business directly from their Web site, and they went above and beyond our expectations and reached a new audience that we would not be able to tap into otherwise.”  

"One customer, who came in with a Groop Swoop Coupon for a $15 mani-pedi, was so happy with our service that she returned later in the week for $130 worth of additional services," says Daniel Lee, Owner, Dolci Beauty Lounge.  "That one customer alone made the entire promotion worthwhile, I will definitely work with Groop Swoop again!"

"This Groop Swooped me off my feet. I was able to do the same with my special lady when surprising her with 2 mani/pedi's from a local shop we've always wanted to go to," raves Zack Zarate, Groop Swoop User.  "Great deals, great idea, and fast customer service. I was having a problem printing one out and someone got back to me in less than an hour!"
