Very nice idea.<p>That's a great pivot, and one I'll seriously consider using on my site.<p>If it works as well as I hope, I think you may wish to reconsider your pricing model.

What about people who don't have Facebook accounts? I think the idea is cool and I get that the whole point is hitting the Facebook "Like" button, but it may keep some people out of the deals.<p>Something to consider and perhaps hedge one way or the other.<p>By the way, what's up with the Zuupy name? Everyone will have to explain and spell it out when telling a friend.

How are the deals discoverable? Since the deal is "Liked" on your site, will you aggregate all deals in general product categories (Apparel, Electronics, etc.), creating a merchant/deal directory?

great idea - planning on giving it a whirl...<p>it seems people are liking the deal - not your page - hence (as of right now) 6 likes for the deal and 10 for the page? this brings up the question of who gets the user data - i.e. if you're emailing them and after the deal is over the liked item on facebook doesn't tie in to the rest of the company's property what follow up can the company do with these sales leads?

I would suggest you hire a designer who can convey your message. I first went to the site, then left, then went back because of a comment. After reading the homepage content, then I thought "Clever and very useful, indeed.".
