It actually goes even deeper than that. Apparently, this form of promotion gained such momentum mostly thanks to media hype. Groupon and other social buying sites got a ton of funding from VCs and spent great amounts of money on advertising (try to go to just about any Facebook page and you’ll see a Groupon and/or LivingSocial ad on the sidebar). Anyhow, the usual is true… if you see it everywhere and hear it everywhere… it must be good. Also, if everyone else is doing it… it must be good. Right? Remember the sub-prime crisis? If everyone is buying houses they could never afford it must be Ok… right?

Anyhow, there is a ton of great examples out there that the social buying deals are simply not a good idea for independent restaurant anyway you slice it (whether you do the math or not, makes no difference). Take a look at the following story and all will be clear.

But how did this form of promotion gain such momentum?
