Week 12: Part B Coupon Network & Yelp

I am interested on creating a coupon and posting it on Groupon. In store we already offer a deal when you buy either 3 olive jars or 3 jerky packages. Adding a deal on Groupon of our local honey would increase the flow of traffic into our stores because I notice products sold in Goupon are the products that a little more expensive. Our customer's do frequently complain about the price of our local honey, so adding a coupon that offers $5 off our purchase of 3 small honey jars whatever flavor would really help with selling our honey as fast as our olives and jerky. The benefit of using a coupon site is having ways of getting new customers that may not have heard about our business before get to know us and maybe become frequent buyers. The downside of offering deals online is not having enough products to comply to the maybe high demand. This can results on customer's not coming back and becoming mad at our business. Depending on the product I think the customer's may or may not return.
I have set up the yelp account for our business but it has yet to be verified. Most of our reviews are good and talk about how delicious our products are. Each location for my business have different ratings. All locations are more then 3 stars. The reviews for Alien Fresh Jerky seem to be 50/50, most people complain about the jerky how it is tough, others seem to like it. Since they seem to sell novelties many of the good reviews talk about the cool Alien novelties you can find there. Yelp does have an impact because a lot of users write their opinion about the product and or services. Yelp should be as important to all Business because it is real time opinions from consumers.
