Green Box Top Daily Price Discount Special: A Best Practice For Growing Green Revenues!

By Bill Roth

The Groupon business model is to offer daily price specials via email to customers that sign up to receive these types of price promotions.

How successful is this business model? Groupon’s revenues have grown in one year, during a recession no less, from $10 million per month to $80 million per month.

And their estimated enterprise valuation is somewhere north of $5 billion (they turned down a $1 billion acquisition offer from Google)!

Green Box Top is a “Groupon” like business that offers daily price discounts on products and services supplied only from green and wellness businesses. Lynn Roulo is the Founder of Green Box Top. In this video interview she outlines how green businesses are gaining increased sales, increased customer traffic and higher rankings from search engines by offering a daily price discount for a green or wellness product on the Green Box Top site.
