Couvon is a group buying site founded by Victorians

I recently discovered that not only is the relatively new group buying site Couvon a great site for getting a discount from local Victoria BC merchants, but they were actually founded by three graduates of the University of Victoria. In this increasingly global marketplace, I find it is always nice to support the local economy when possible and supporting Couvon, it turns out, is one more way to do so.

What is group buying? Group purchasing is a relatively new concept originated by Groupon in 2008, which is founded on the principle that if enough people agree to buy something, they all get a big discount.

I discuss this in more detail in my article “Group Buying Mania Hits Victoria”
