Daily Deals Website Sharing Spree Has Record-Breaking Weekend in Portland

The deal was $12 for an all-you-can-eat buffet, drink and $15 FunCard at John's Incredible Pizza Company, a 54-percent savings for local consumers. At noon on Friday, the site had already sold more than 2,000 deals. The deal ended with more than 5,300 sold.

"Our successful weekend goes to show that there's room for smaller daily deal sites that are focused on quality relationships with local consumers and businesses, as well as non-profits and schools," said Timothy Moorehead, vice president of marketing for Sharing Spree. "This isn't a winner-take-all business. We're able to compete with industry giants, such as Groupon, Google Offers and LivingSocial, because we're focusing on more than just offering great deals-we're helping to raise awareness for local non-profits and schools that receive a donation for every deal we sell."

Sharing Spree offers daily deals in Portland, Nashville, Tenn., and most recently Birmingham, Ala. Ft. Wayne, Ind., is coming soon. A portion of every transaction - between 10 and 15-percent - is donated to a local non-profit or school. Consumers can decide which organizations will benefit simply by choosing from a list on Sharing Spree's website. To date, the company has contributed more than $114,000 in donations to schools and non-profits.

Sharing Spree is easy to navigate and registration - which is free - is as simple as a few clicks of a mouse. Consumers simply sign up online and receive a daily email. Users are able to easily post deals on Twitter and Facebook, and email them to friends and family.
