Living Social

I know there has been discussion on here about Groupon. I found the discussion very interesting and I learn a lot. I definitely learned I would NOT be doing a Groupon. I got this offer/e-mail from Living Social: http://www.livingsocia​l.com/cities/229/deals​/54925

Now disregard the quality of the photographers work for a moment. How do Living Social deals work? How do they compare to Groupon? Has any one done a Living Social offer? How did it work out?

TIA

Other than their cut perhaps being different, it's the same exact concept.

I would not even bother with Living Social or Groupon unless you have chain of studios and staff to run it. Last year (Nov) I bought a Living Social deal for $10. That included In-Studio Photo Shoot with One 8x10, Two 5x7s, and Eight Wallet-Sized Images. Session last approximately 30 mins or less. Crazy but that is their model. They sold 5459. People pictures has 9 location. That is lot of shooting. I did not have a chance to use it yet, just wanted to see how the operation worked.. Interestingly my voucher expires 2/4/2012.
