Bargain-hunting Villagers will be introduced to new merchants when VillagesDealFinder.com (
http://VillagesDealFinder.com), a new deal of the day web site, launches in The Villages April 16th. The introductory deal will be 50-90% off local restaurants and merchants.
“The deals we offer will be a great way for Villagers to shop at their favorite merchants at up to 90% off,” says Drew Carson with VillagesDealFinder.com. “In turn, merchants gain access to new clients and can measure the ROI on their promotion. Everyone wins.”
Offering deep discounts of 50 to 90 percent off standard charges, VillagesDealFinder.com features deals from restaurants, spas, theaters, museums, local events and festivals, bars, home and automotive services, and various outdoor recreational activities such as biking, kayaking, or jet skiing. The company leverages the power of social networking through tools like Twitter and Facebook to encourage viral pass-along of the daily deals.
“We are proud to be the first daily deal site in The Villages,” says Carson. “As well we are home grown and based out of The Villages!” Even Groupon, the largest group buying website in the country has yet to launch in The Villages.
As for the benefit to merchants, VillagesDealFinder.com offers the opportunity for them to be featured and presented to thousands of targeted potential customers for a 24-hour period with no upfront cost or risk involved; a highly efficient and cost effective form of advertising. This pay-for-performance model works well for small businesses that often can’t afford outside marketing assistance. Complete with an easily accessible dashboard, the site allows merchants to calculate traffic and profitability on a real time basis, taking the guesswork out of their marketing investment.
