Can’t get enough of the fun of waking up to see what deals Groupon and Living Social are offering that day? Welcome Planet Qpon, a new face in the Richmond daily deal market!

The inaugural deal is $10 for $20 worth of food from Alamo BBQ in Church Hill. Expires November 27, 2010, just three months.

Planet Qpon’s unique feature is that it is a locally owned enterprise; in structure, it is very similar to Groupon, offering a discounted certificate to a different Richmond company every day, and requiring a minimum number of deals purchased for anyone to get it. It offers $5 credit for referring others (who must purchase within 48 hours).

Planet Qpon lets you band together with friends, neighbors and strangers in an online community that uses its collective buying power to negotiate huge discounts on the high-quality products and services you want. You’ll enjoy savings of 40% to 90% (yep, it’s that big) on some of the hottest things to do and see in Richmond: restaurants, bars, nightclubs, spas, gyms, theaters, cultural and educational events, indoor and outdoor adventures that challenge the body and mind – and much more.

When you join, we will e-mail you our “Deal of the Day” – every day, 365 days per year. You decide if you want in. If the required, minimum number of buyers takes the deal, you all get the discount. You’ll be up against a deadline. So, if you want to reap the rewards, get your friends to join in
