Shannon,
I have not worked with them as a vendor, but I can tell you that I do regularly purchase Groupons for services and events locally.   I think it would be a great way to get the Planetarium ramped up for this year.

Hi ILN Folks!

The planetarium frequently gets calls from Groupon seeing if we want to offer a deal for our admission or membership. I was wondering if anyone has ever had experience actually working with groupon to offer something like this as a vendor. If so, how was your experience and would you recommend it? Specifically:

How much work did you or your staff need to put in? 
What kind of cut did you get?
Did it increase your membership at all? 
Did any of those members renew after the initial discount? 

Thanks!
Shannon
