Customer opt-in is the only way this can work. The ability to opt-in to receive notifications of nearby deals is exactly what many consumers crave – especially heading into the holiday buying season. Marketing has changed from pure promotion to the ability to deliver information when and how the customer wants it. Thanks for sharing, Ryan.

We also agree on only charging merchants based on performance. We are excited to launch Flash Purchase in several weeks where we enable consumers to band together to get the benefits of volume pricing and attain lower prices than any individual could get on their own while providing sellers with a large group of consumers in a single transaction.
