SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROMOTING DAILY DEALS

摘要

Systems and methods provide a variety of ways in which to generate and promote multi-merchant deals spanning multiple geographical regions and/or multiple industries. In deals involving merchants from two or more industries, customers may be provided with one ticket per person per industry. Any goods and/or services provided by the merchants from different industries are not intertwined with one another so as to form one experience. Further, in deals involving merchants from the same industry, the customer may be provided with a choice as to which merchant to redeem the goods and/or services. Likewise, in some examples, the customer may choose in which geographical region to receive the goods and/or services.
