Ventures aim to attract and retain customers through loyalty programs like discount cards. Groupon promotions often don't generate return customers or enough spending to be profitable for businesses. The proposed electronic discount card loyalty program allows customers to easily share discounts with friends via social media and earn bonuses for referrals. This addresses issues with Groupon by giving businesses more control over discounts and incentivizing repeat visits and word-of-mouth promotion through social sharing and referrals.
