The "12 Days of Gifting" offers LivingSocial's community of more than 80 million people the opportunity to save 50% off or more each day on gifts for friends, family and co-workers in Washington D.C., Boston, Atlanta, and Seattle. Through the power of group buying, LivingSocial Deals works with local merchants in each city to save people thousands of dollars every day. One offer per day is announced every morning and is spread virally through Facebook, Twitter, and email. Vouchers are activated as soon as the sign-up quota for each offer is met and users have to 'beat the clock,' as the offer is only good for 24 hours.
"12 Days of Gifting" are available weekdays December 3-20, 2009; examples include:
- For DC sweet-tooths: $25 cupcakes at Red Velvet Cupcakery ($50 value)
- For Seattle sushi lovers: $25 credit to Shiku Sushi in Seattle ($50 value)
- For ATL golfers: $60 Keith Jones Golf Swing Analysis in Atlanta ($165 value)
- For Boston chocoholics: $25 chocolates at Hotel Chocolat ($50 Value)
"LivingSocial Deals has already saved people hundreds of thousands of dollars, so we are confident the 12 Days of Gifting will provide thoughtful ideas at great prices for holiday shoppers while benefitting local charities," said Tim O'Shaughnessy, CEO and Co-founder of LivingSocial. "While shoppers gain access to luxurious gifts at affordable prices, merchants also benefit from the program, by securing revenue and foot traffic through 2010."
LivingSocial Deals has grown rapidly since its launch in August 2009, expanding from Washington, D.C., New York City, and Boston to Atlanta, and Seattle, with more cities rolling out in coming weeks. For more information or to sign up for deals in your city, go to http://deals.livingsocial.com.
