Google to Launch Google Offers
By Marcella Glenn
Google is to launch Google Offers, the search giant's Groupon competitor, Mashable learned.
They have the documents to prove it. One of their sources sent a confidential fact sheet straight from Googleplex about the company's new group buying service.
"Google Offers is a new product to help potential customers find deals in their area through a daily email," the fact sheet.
Google Offers works like Groupon or LivingSocial. How does it work?
People receive an e-mail with a local deal for the day. They have the opportunity to buy that deal within a specific time period. When enough people have made the purchase, the Google Offer is activated and users get $10 toward a $20 deal for that certain restaurant you've wanted to try.
Google is reaching out to businesses in order to get them on board with Offers.
