LivingSocial – new social coupon site launching soon

LivingSocial is a new Daily Deal site–think Groupon–that will launch any day now. Aren’t you glad you know me so you can know about it ahead of time?!

Each day, LivingSocial members will receive a deal with discounts of 50% or more at local restaurants, bars, salons, spas, theaters, events, and more.  When you see a deal that tickles your fancy, you do this:

  • BUY. Get in on the deal of the day
  • SHARE. If 3 of your friends buy the same deal, you get 1 FREE
  • WAIT. Your deal will be ready to print within 1 business day
  • PRINT. Follow the instructions on your deal and redeem it
  • SAVE. Enjoy your favorite spots around town at huge discounts
LivingSocial is similar to Groupon in that it is a service that provides subscribers unbelievable daily discounts to the best restaurants, bars, spas, events, and shows in your city. But it’s different in that it utilizes social media like Facebook, Twitter, and the iPhone both to deliver daily deals and – most importantly? – to let users share with their networks so more people can get in on each deal. Sharing is so central to LivingSocial that if you buy a deal, then get three friends to buy the same deal, yours is free!

In that vein, if you join their referral program, “Invite Friends, Share $10,” you’re assigned a personal URL (each member of LivingSocial Deals is). You share your link through facebook, twitter, by email and through blogs. Each person that signs up through your link will get $5 Deal Bucks to spend on their first purchase. When they spend it, you’ll get $5 Deal Bucks too!

Also of note: launching in March, Localiter.com will also offer discounts and deals on local business, harnessing our collective buying power. Awesome! More details to come.

  1. I just signed up for another similar site called eDEAL Tickets. Looks like they’re doing the same type of daily deals. We, Austinites, have got options.. that’s great.

  2. Dealbk.com/Austin is another coupon website. If you plan to go for a haircut, you could just go to their Beauty section and check out their deals. It is pretty neat, can share coupons with friends and also just show the coupon through the mobile phone. Love deals!
