Madame Chocolat in Beverly Hills recently offered a deal on Groupon: Buyers paid $10 to receive a voucher for $20 worth of chocolates. Groupon deals are typically available for only 24 hours, but the vouchers don’t have to be used the day they’re bought. (Christina House / For The Times)
Dtox Day Spa, with locations in Los Feliz and Encino, offered 50% off a 50-minute massage or facial with aromatherapy. More than 1,600 of that Groupon deal were sold. (Gary Friedman / Los Angeles Times)
The Foundry on Melrose also offered a Groupon deal this year. Businesses give such “daily deals” websites a big cut of the revenue from the vouchers: A 50-50 split is typical. (Gary Friedman / Los Angeles Times)
