Spring Meadow Nursery e-letter poses this important question. Have you considered how to answer?

Garden Center | February 4, 2011

Spring Meadow Nursery recently posed a good question in its weekly e-letter: Should you Groupon?

As the missive notes, that's the big question a lot of independent businesses are asking. As with any promotion, there are pros and cons. Spring Meadow shared this article about it in an effort to help you with your decision. The Harvard Business Review has another, with a number of interesting comments on the subject, to boot. 

The Spring Meadow e-note shares an NPR.org report on another option, LivingSocial, as well as a michiganradionews.com story on how some West Michigan Chambers of Commerce are also experimenting with 'Try it Local'.
