Daily Deals are a great way to advertise your business to new customers and help bring back customers who haven't come in for a while. Creating a Daily Deal is free, and Vagaro does not take any commission. Once announced and approved, the deal appears on the Vagaro Marketplace, your Vagaro Listing Page, and MySite, allowing for more visibility of your business.
Prerequisites: This feature requires Credit Card Processing, the Online Shopping Cart, and to be listed on Vagaro.com.
Keep in mind that Vagaro reviews all Daily Deals submitted for quality assurance before they are displayed on the Vagaro marketplace, which means the Vagaro team will edit the text for clarity, grammar, and spelling when necessary. If the deal does not fit Vagaro's standards, it will be denied. Denied deals will still be displayed on your Vagaro Listing Page and Email/Text marketing campaigns. Ensure that you've read our best practices before continuing.
When you announce a Daily Deal, an Email Marketing campaign will be automatically sent to your existing customers, using the email allowance from your monthly limit. By default, this feature is enabled, but you can turn it off by toggling off the Send as Email option. It's important to note that businesses on the small Email Marketing plan won't be able to send Daily Deal emails when they reach their limit.
Note
If you choose to send an email or text message with the Daily Deal, the message will be sent out as soon as you announce the campaign, even if you scheduled it for later.
