The more people who sign up, the cheaper the hotel, cruise or other deal becomes. In the case of a space trip – a 30 minute journey to the edge of space for which XCOR Aersospace Inc. plans to charge $95,000 – the price drops to $85,000 once 10 or more people sign up. Unlike Groupon, there's no limit to the number of people who can participate in the deal.
“I think we’ve come up with a compelling campaign,” said Brendan P. Murphy founder and chief inspiration officer, noting he’ll use an application by San Francisco-based Crowd Factory Inc. to track referrals and conversions. TripAlertz figures it will hit critical mass fast with the campaign, acquiring customers for about $1 a head.
