kgbdeals is an online collective buying service that empowers its members to get the best deals in and around major US and European cities (see online FAQs at http://kgbdeals.com/base/faq?l=US). Sales Specialists contact merchants in the cities in which they live to close deals and invite merchants to offer customers a significant discount, typically a 50% value (e.

g., $50 worth of goods/services for $25).

In return, kgb delivers a volume of customers to the merchant.

After the merchant contract is signed, the deal is advertised on www.kgbdeals.com, and an interested customer visits the site to click "BUY" before the offer ends at midnight.

If the deal reaches Activation Point that is, enough people sign up then all customers who clicked BUY can pay and get their deal immediately.

If not enough people buy the deal, no one gets it (and no one is charged), so customers are incented to invite their friends to make sure everyone gets the deal! kgbdeals is brought to you by the same kgb that launched the popular text answering service, 542542 (kgbkgb).
