We at Daily Deal Builder, with our company and offices in Atlanta, have watched and used Scoutmob since their inception. When we saw Scoutmob hit the stage we thought “well this is exciting and great for the industry.”
Scoutmob really sets themselves apart from their competitors because their model has one, simple difference from other sites like Groupon or Living Social; their coupons are FREE. Amazing.
With the success of sites across the globe, and the re-invention of ‘couponing,’ Scoutmob really put a new spin on the deal industry.
When picking a new restaurant for date night, how much more likely is it that you download a free coupon from a deal site versus paying a deal site for the same coupon?
I think almost everyone would take the free coupon, and that’s exactly why we built a Free Coupon plugin for Daily Deal Builder.
Now, you wonder how deal sites that offer free coupons make money, right?
So what they do is they keep track of each and every coupon that is actually used at the vendor’s location and the vendor pays them a pre-agreed upon amount per coupon that is downloaded and redeemed.
