Zoupon Scam?? Really?

** Zoupon has recently changed is name to Deals.com.au**

I must admit that I find it funny that people are calling Zoupon a scam.

While their offer may sound far fetched (and I am usually the first person to call massive discounts out as a scam, you really need to understand how their business really works before you call it the Zoupon scam.

How Zoupon Works

Zoupon is a a business that works of the power of numbers. Here is a simple overview of their 5 step process:

• Step One: Zoupon sends you an email telling you about a great experience or service, at a great discount 50% to 90% off the normal price (exclusive to Zoupon members).
• Step Two: If you want to buy the Zoupon, simply click BUY and enter a few quick details.
• Step Three: As soon as the ‘minimum number’ of people buy the deal – everyone gets the discount!
• Step Four: When the deal goes through, your credit card is charged for the discounted amount of the deal and you are emailed a Zoupon Voucher.
• Step Five: You print off the voucher, and enjoy an awesome experience for half price or better!

Sounds Simple Enough But:

I know you probably have a couple of other questions, so let me tackle a couple of the main reasons people call Zoupon a scam.

1. Why Would The Companies Give 50-90% Discounts?

   This is simply marketing. The company offering a discount for the day is hoping that 100′s of people will buy their discounted offer – love it experience so much that they will return and become regular customers.

   They use the database that Zoupons has to promote their business.

2. Will The Spam Me With Emails?

   The whole foundation of this business is based on offering an amazing deal each day – so you will receive an email each day – detailing the offer for that day.

   That being said,  you can opt out at any time and you will only not receive any additional emails.

3. Does It Work Australia Wide?

   Currently if you live in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney or Adelaide then they have specific offers for your area.

So Is Zoupons A Scam?

Definitely not. They are a marketing company that promotes heavily discounted products on behalf of other businesses.
