RE: Groupon paving the way for..Deal Frenzy!!!" To match Groupon, would rivals have to hire as many pitchmen asGroupon — 3,500 sales people work for the Chicago company. To quoteourselves from December:
“If Groupon clones want to grow big, theyneed to be able to offer discounted deals from big national chains likethe Gap — one of Groupon’s early success stories. To do that, [Ventureinvestor Jeremy Liew] Liew says, Groupon-like companies need a hugeworkforce to sign up new merchants, and tens of millions of subscribersto pitch deal to. “The barriers to entry are low but the barriers toscale are enormous,” Liew said.”"
Yup, really "paving the way".
