| The "Shoppers Guide" section is a major revenue source. Discount coupon books, where restaurants offer two-for-one meals and other merchants offer various discounts to the bearer of the coupons are very popular. This is the same concept except the coupon book cannot be lost, and you do not lose out if you buy one in the middle of the year. Merchants offer discount coupons. The site can take unlimited shoppers guide ads at $50 per month each. The public can pay a yearly membership fee of $25 to $50 (depending on the amount of discounts offered), and can save that much in discounts in the first month by dinning in just a couple of restaurants. The membership can be sold directly on the web, or through schools and other non profit organizations -- students can sell them as a fund raising project. Samples below. |
