Discount Shopping Comes To Porn Sites!

By Coleen Singer at Sssh.com Porn For Women

It was only a matter of time before premium adult sites and retail stores invented their own system for offering discounts for memberships, goods and services.  Mainstream discount sites like Groupon.com do not allow adult offerings.  Amazon does allow for the sale of sex toys and a few movies, but are very fickle as to who is allowed, and how soon it is before they change their mind. Google literally banned most adult sites from advertising on AdWords last year.  But, porn producers and distributors tend to be very resourceful folks and over the past couple of years have literally invented their own systems for filling the void, enabling them to reach out to customers with deals and special offers.  One particularly impressive “deals” site is Porn Deals as it combines both the elements of discount offers accompanied by accurate site reviews, descriptions and ratings.

A Short History Of Online Shopping

amazon first pageMy, how things have changed, and yet remained the same. Two decades ago, when the era of e-commerce was born, people fretted about online fraud and security—and that the Internet had too much porn.  Toward the end of 1994, MONEY magazine published a story about the sharp rise in consumers shopping from home. That year, some 98 million consumers made $60 billion worth of purchases from home, nearly all of it through phone orders prompted by mail catalogues and TV shopping channels. Another home-shopping option had suddenly arrived on the scene that year, too–an “on-line shopping service [that] requires a PC or Macintosh that’s equipped with a modem.”

Let’s take a look back at how the birth of online shopping was viewed in 1994, a year before Amazon.com arrived. There was some skepticism, lots of confusion, and plenty of futuristic gee-whiz bluster about all of this “on-line” business. For instance, a headline in The Financial Post (Canada) described e-commerce as a “tele-shopping magical experience,” and the story that followed was a bit dismissive of “the latest fad.” An October ’94 Computerworld story pointed to the group of skeptics who categorized online shopping as just another component of the “infohypeway” that was the Internet.

Mostly, though, what’s amazing is that, in retrospect, so much of what was said and written in 1994 about online shopping was pretty much right on the money. From the get-go, many people realized that e-commerce would revolutionize shopping, by making it cheaper, more convenient, and more customizable than traditional shopping in physical stores. There were also tons of concerns about security, fraud, hackers, and porn, as well as predictions that as online shopping grew, advertising would absolutely ruin the Internet.

 

Groupon – A Magical Experience Idea That Took Off (and paid off!)

groupon logoThe idea that would eventually become Groupon was born out of founder Andrew Mason’s frustration trying to cancel a cell phone contract in 2006. Mason thought that there must be some way to leverage large number of people’s collective bargaining power. In 2007 Mason launched The Point, a web platform based on the “tipping point” principle that would utilize social media to get people together to accomplish a goal. The Point was intended to organize people around some sort of cause or goal. It gained only modest traction in Chicago, until a group of users decided their cause would be saving money. They wanted to round up people to buy the same product in order to receive a group discount. Founder Eric Lefkofsky wanted the company to pivot in order to focus entirely on group buying. Born from The Point, Groupon was launched in November 2008.

The name Groupon is a blend of “group” and “coupon”. Groupon’s first deal was a half-price offer for pizzas for the restaurant on the first floor of its building in Chicago.

The decision to focus on group buying proved wise. In just a year and a half, Groupon grew from a staff of a few dozen to over 350. Revenue and Booking also grew swiftly and the company was valued at over $1 billion after just 16 months in business, the fastest company ever to reach this milestone.

Fueled by its rapid growth, Groupon went public on November 4, 2011. It was the biggest IPO by an Internet company since Google in 2004.

Adam & Eve Ushered In The Era Of Online Porn Discounts

adam & eve sex toy storeAdam & Eve is the largest mailorder distributor of condoms, sex toys, and pornographic films in the United States. Founder Phil Harvey has been called “one of the most influential figures in the American sex industry today”. Adam & Eve was founded in 1970 by physician Paul Mueller and Phil Harvey. It started as a small storefront on one of Chapel Hill, North Carolina’s main streets, selling condoms and lubricants. It soon became a mail-order catalog selling contraceptives through non-medical channels. By the late 1990’s the company built one of the first online sex toy and video websites, and shortly thereafter, began offering discounts, deals and free shipping with one of the adult industry’s first coupon offer sites.

The die was cast and within the next several years, adult websites began offering discounts on memberships and services.
