Groupon requires deep discounts of 50%+ and takes a cut of that reduced price. GlowRef pays your salon A$35 per referred client — no discounting of your services, no brand damage, no Groupon clients.

Groupon clients see your service at half price. When they rebook at full price, you have already trained them to believe your service is worth half what you charge.
After your 50% discount, Groupon takes a further cut of the remaining amount. The actual revenue per Groupon client can be as low as 25% of your standard rate.
Research consistently shows Groupon clients have among the lowest rebooking rates of any acquisition channel. You attract deal-seekers, not loyal clients.
Being on Groupon signals price sensitivity to the market. Premium clients who would pay full price may choose not to book with a salon they've seen on Groupon.
GlowRef does not involve your service pricing. You distribute vouchers for a partner clinic — your own rates are never discounted, never advertised at a lower price.
Instead of receiving a fraction of a discounted rate, your salon receives a flat A$35 per redeemed client. The economics are reversed — you gain, not lose.
Clients who receive your voucher arrive as a personal recommendation from you. They have a relationship with your salon before they even visit the partner clinic.
GlowRef vouchers are positioned as exclusive gifts to your valued clients. There is no public deal listing, no discount advertising, no association with offers.
Fixed commission. No cap, no minimum. Paid monthly with a full redemption report.
No subscription, no setup fee, no commission on your existing bookings. You only earn — never pay.
Combined verified reviews across two Sydney locations. Your clients come back and thank you.
Experience the GlowRef partner clinic firsthand before recommending it to a single client. No cost. No commitment. Same week available.
