It’s interesting that Groupon started to offer two coupons at once recently(see above) and we can hope that even if the main offer is a big brand that the little businesses will still be able to opt in to the service. If big brands start sucking up that premium space will there be room left for small business?

For most small businesses I’m saying no, wait a bit. There are so many things business page can’t do yet. Unless you’re a big brand with Google Direct Connect you don’t own the page name. If that person leaves the company they still “own” the page. Look at H&M for example.

Amber’s recently left her role leading the social media charge at Radian6 to go out on her own with HiddenStartup and it will be fun to watch her grow her business. She’s salty, irreverent and I always learn something from her newsletters I can apply to my own business. Naomi Dunford. Maddie Grant. Sonia Simone.

You don’t have to bury your brand identity to do a good job on Pinterest. Here’s a good example of a brand page for Vineyard Brands , a wine importer on Pinterest. Take The Mother Company for example. Her small business resource boards are a great model to follow for any service business.
