How Can Group Buying Sites Work for You? Jamie Ratner - CEO of Certifikids Share the Secret - September 18

You can make the most amazing product in the world, but if nobody knows about it, it won’t sell. Marketing your business can be both challenging and expensive. As a small business owner, finding creative ways to reach your customer is key. The daily deal sphere can be a great tool in your marketing efforts, if you know how to successfully work with these sites.

CertifiKid is a leader in the family-focused daily deal market. CEO, Jamie Ratner has built this business from a kitchen table idea into a bi-coastal success, and gained a wealth of information along the way. She will share how to successfully use daily deal sites as a marketing platform for your business, no matter what your business is.

A lifelong expert in finding a great deal, Jamie started a blog as a way to share her tips and find a little “mom time” for herself. After months of curating savings for her readers, it became clear to her that none of the deal sites were focusing on what families wanted or needed. While she would love a massage at half off, she doubted the spa would welcome her two toddler entourage. Literally at her kitchen table, the idea for CertifiKid was born. Build a daily deal site that took care of families, while helping support local businesses too.

Three years later, CertifiKid is multimillion dollar business, employing local parents and supporting small businesses in eight cities from coast to coast. CertifiKid has helped millions of families save, and thousands of small businesses earn, money. Jamie considers it part of her mission to help small businesses find successful ways to work with deal sites.
