Comment on Groupon Responds: Too much of a good thing?parent

Comments

Many people are casting Groupon as a "partner", not as an advertising vendor, which is all I think they really are.

A partner may understand my business and be in a position to help me improve it. A vendor is not. When I buy yellow pages ads, AdWords, or direct mail postcards, I don't expect my supplier to give me advice on my business. Why should Posie's expect Groupon to give them financial advice?
