Have you ever heard of social shopping? It’s the newest coupon craze to hit the internet. Here’s how it works: each day there is one deal. And they are good ones – many times more than 50% off a product or service. You purchase the deal online, your credit card is charged, and you receive your voucher via email the next day. Buyers can recommend the deal to their friends via email, Facebook or Twitter, and if others buy the deal on your recommendation you can get your deal free.
