Created to support local businesses and stir excitement within the community, Palooz.com comes to the scene offering a dirt-cheap option to advertising and killer deals to Portlanders.
Though there are similar sites that offer "free" advertising, upfront costs, heavy commission fees (40-100%), or profit sharing are usually associated. Palooz.com features businesses free of any fees—only 7% of any deal sold on the site is collected to help pay for the site’s costs. That is correct, s-e-v-e-n.
The concept of the site is very simple—one business is featured at a time with an incredible discount for a specific time limit (24-48 hrs). As people purchase the deal, the power of "purchasing in bulk" can cause the price of the deal to go even lower! Now you maybe thinking,
“Well, aren’t the businesses getting hustled out of money?”
Actually, quite the opposite. Businesses can create “details” to each deal so it is both advantageous to them as well as their beloved customer. Rarely will you find just “regulars” purchasing these deals, what you find are friends of existing customers or customers who have not thought about returning to the business taking advantage of the unique deals.
Palooz.com can offer deals on anything in Portland. From gift cards to restaurants, local stores, apparel, gyms, spas, stylists, kayaking, rock climbing, new adventures—practically no limit to what can be featured.
Come take a looksy at today’s deal...
