YipDeals is a service that offers 50% off deals at local restaurants, salons, and other businesses. Users share the deals with friends and family via email, Facebook, or Twitter. YipDeals partners with schools, churches, and charities, donating 12% of every deal sold to the organization. As an example, a deal for Palio Restaurant in Leesburg, VA sold 303 vouchers in 4 days, earning a local school $681.75. Schools benefit from fundraising without direct selling, as YipDeals handles the transactions. A school could potentially raise over $10,000 annually through monthly deals. Local businesses are also eager to partner as a way to attract new customers.
