The Law of being left behind
The Law of being left behind, suggests that if someone else buys a products or service, it must be valuable enough to buy for ourselves. This belief transforms into a subconscious need to acquire the product or service, simply because someone else has it. And when you get a group of likeminded people together in a buying environment, all it ever takes is one person to buy to set 'The Law of being left behind' in motion. The converse is also true, if not one person puts their hand up to buy - no one else in the group will buy. Why? There is no leader, the pack isn't moving in any particular direction, therefore there is no need to move - the safest move is no move at all.
The Power of Admitting Mistakes
One of the most powerful opportunities for any leader to build trust is to publicly admit mistakes. The source of that power is that it is so rare for leaders to stand up in front of a group and say something like this: “I called you here today to admit that I made a serious blunder yesterday.

Group Buying Sites- A Delight for Bargain-Hunters and Savvy Advertisers Alike
Getting a bargain and the sense of urgency that limited inventory and short-lived sales create is fundamental to consumerism. So, it’s easy to see why group buying sites that create a sense of urgency- by offering limited-time offers, like daily deals and flash sales, to a limited number of individuals- and deliver deep discounts for consumers, as well as a measurable, effective marketing strategy for advertisers, are wildly popular among bargain-hunters and enterprising business owners alike. In fact, according to Experian Hitwise, a global information services company, visits to a sample of group buying websites and aggregators increased 610% between August 2009 and August 2010. And a recent study by daily deal aggregator, Local Offer Network, projects that the U.S. group buying industry will expand by 138% in 2011 to $2.66 billion.
