Kivivi Blog

The title of this post has a Coke versus Pepsi flavor. That comparision is never conclusive. But the point I want to make in this Kivivi versus Groupon post is much more conclusive. Groupon, the queen of daily deal sites, needs no introduction. As for Kivivi, we are a just born, small start-up allowing health and beauty enthusiats in NYC to instantly book great deals from top rated salons and spas.

When you like a deal on Groupon, say for a relaxing massage at a great spa, you are typically allowed to buy only one quantity of that deal. Let's say you paid $100 for that deal after a discount of 50%. You saved $100. A sweet deal indeed. The key point to note here is that your savings on this deal from Groupon max out at $100. This is because you will rarely, if not never, see the same deal from the same spa for the same service at the same discount.

Enter Kivivi. Let's say you love a similar deal (you pay $100 after a 50% discount) on Kivivi for a relaxing massage at a great spa. Book it instantly on Kivivi for a date/time that works best for you and save $100. You got a great deal and you had a great experience at this spa. So, when it's time again for being pampered, say a month from your previous appointment, go back to Kivivi. Book your next appointment for the same service from the same spa and save another $100. Here is how your savings at Kivivi add up:

Savings from appointment # 1 on Kivivi = $100

Savings from appointment # 2 on Kivivi = $100

Cummulative saving on Kivivi = $200

The point I am trying to make is that you will find deals on Kivivi that are as good as those on Groupon. However, the life time value of the deal at Kivivi is much bigger and it keeps adding up. Many of the deals on Kivivi have appointments that are available for many months in the future. Get the same great discount over and over again for the same service from the same business and keep saving.

At Kivivi, our deals live longer, so you can be happier longer. Like Kivivi? Join us, invite others, like us on facebook and follow us on twitter.

So, what's better than getting a great "deal". How about getting a great deal for what you want, when you want it? How about instantly booking an appointment online to use that deal?  This is exactly why Kivivi is the biggest deal in New York City (NYC) for health and beauty enthusiasts.
