KGB Deals obviously is another one. What do you want to do? Use them for promoting your business? Bear in mind that Groupon is the big leader and their results far outstrip the smaller networks which generally aren't worth your time. The bigger the network the less likely you will be able to successfully negotiate a deal other than the standard 50/50 revenue split.

I think I've read on the internet that around half of companies who have used Groupon are dis-satisfied with the results and they won't bother again. Major reason probably being that bargain hunters never make great repeat customers. Not only that, you have to heavily discount your usual selling price and then halve the revenue of the discounted price so you could be left with a pittance if your profit margin wasn't there in the first place to make it viable a marketing choice.
