Launched in 2008, deal-of-the-day site Groupon gives small businesses the chance to attract new customers by offering discounts on selected products or services. The model has given some unknown brands a bigger platform for sales, but others have criticized Groupon for absorbing too much of business’ profits and only attracting bargain-seekers, thus failing to build brand loyalty.
Depending on your brand, offering a Groupon deal might be a good idea for your business. Of course, it is not enough to just offer your Groupon customers a one-time deal and then expect that they’ll keep flocking back for more. If you are serious about using Groupon to attract and keep new customers, then you will need to implement some effective customer retention strategies that fit with your overall marketing campaign.

Ask any small business owner the goals of their online marketing campaign, and increasing sales is probably high on that list. Online marketing can boost online lead generation, especially if your small business actively posts on social media, communicates with past and potential clients via email marketing, and directs customers to optimized landing pages with calls to action and contact forms.
But what good is it collecting leads online if you do not spend the same effort on converting those leads into sales? Your marketing is only effective if you put the time into courting and landing sales found via online lead generation.
You might think that you can apply the same principles of traditional lead conversion when converting online leads, but that is not true. Just as your online marketing strategies must differ from traditional ones, when courting leads online, you need to employ different tactics.
