I’m a member of a closed group that had some incredible customer testimonials and photos of their purchases… so I looked into what was going on. Contest? Not exactly...
The shop has 161,000 likes on its business page.
And over 4000 members in its closed group.
Here, I think, is why. On their group’s About post, I read this:
I’ve grayed out the name of the shop, because I have not reached the owner for permission to publicize the business.
Notice that this is ongoing, not a one-time discount. And that their group is less than a year old. Could a version of this be something for your shop to institute?
Inspired to respond? React? Rebut? Just feeling chatty? Go ahead, use that nice keyboard in front of you...
