We are all familiar with daily deals sites even though the idea is pretty old. So why the hype? Well timing is key, with so much social media daily deals are able to spread quickly without muh effort… The free marketing from sharing deals via Facebook or twitter exponential drive sales and new sign ups. so has email marketing been reborn or are we just adding more spam? Personally I think it helped mainstream email again a bit but with smartphones email will once again be a flood of spam. Smartphone apps and text marketing is where it is all headed allowing deals to not just get right in the palm of a potential client but we have no way to block it … Yet!!!
