Cindy,
We ran a Groupon last October and it contained two deals, one for  
discounted admission or one for discounted membership (our lowest  
membership level).  We ended up with over 650 purchased.  Majority  
were for the discounted admission but we still had over 100 get the  
membership.  The only thing I would do differently is by having the  
expired date be short.  For example our expire date is one year from  
when the groupon went out so people can redeem their groupon up until  
October of this year.  We are also participating in Groupon Now, which  
is different and is connected to iPhone apps.  If you would like more  
info about either I can connect you off list to my curator who handled  
the process.
