Groupon Home & Garden Deals (San Francisco) – A Little Review

There’s many reasons to love Groupon and there are certainly many reasons to hate them as well, but overall, what’s not to like?

{Please} Vote on What We Should Blog About!!!

There’s often a saying that two heads are better than one!

So why not poll everyone to get some ideas on what topics we should write about.  We’re halfway frightful that no one will vote, but we’ll take that risk in hopes of a few loyal fans can be our heroes for the day.

So what type of blogs do you want to read more about?

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world’s leading questionnaire tool.

 


Deal Décor.com is America’s first group-buying platform for furniture and home décor products that offers full cost transparency into the supply chain for customers.  Similar to Groupon and Living Social, Deal Décor’s deals require a minimum of customers to sign up for the deal to activate.  However, Deal Décor is vertically integrated from the customer to the furniture factories, so we are more than just a marketplace for coupons.  That means you save some major bucks on your next purchase!

We’re launching in the San Francisco Bay Area soon! Sign-up below or via facebook.
