Time will tell, I think these types of deals will go away once and if the economy ever turns. You seem to have thought it out well so you should do good with it. I wouldn’t be as optomistic with the referall rate (unless you already are doing that, and I think some areas in particular smaller communites where people are friendlier tend to refer at a higher rate) or upsell rate but you will get both.
I had 61 buys about $1800 up front I have done about 20 so far and generated and additional about an additional $1500 so far so that works out to an avg of $105 for each of the completed deals. 20x $30 = $600 +1500=2100 /20=$105. Out of the twenty 2 jobs the highest paying a total of $629 didn’t use the deal. oNe saw the coupon new her house was way to big but called anyways and then referred me to a friend. Out of the paid deals 40% have added a little extra. I’ll dive in and get the real numbers later.
Wow. That is still pretty good. I am waiting for Groupon to accept my profile. I am going to take a run at it. They key i have heard from this to be successful is the upsell.
