Facebook is ready to compete with Groupon! Sad news, the test markets do not include St. Louis. Facebook Deals is launching in Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Diego, and San Fransisco.
Facebook makes it ‘friendly’ by allowing users to ‘Like’ or ‘Share’ daily deals in their news feed and you can publish on your feed if you purchased a deal! You can also find the deals on your Facebook dashboard or sign up for email updates. I think Facebook is brilliant for adding this feature…I am already on Facebook so why would I want to add an extra step by having to go through my email to find the daily Groupon?
The social buying phenomenon – do you ‘buy-in’? Where do you want to get your daily deals…Groupon, Living Social, Facebook, others?
