Groupon Sample

I recently wrote an ad copy sample for Groupon.com. This website is known for its offbeat humor in their ads. Following their guidelines I submitted this:

"If you are like me, the thought of water sports in Georgia calls to mind two things: banjo music and squealing like a pig. So when you get the hankering to hop into a small watercraft, skip the canoe on the river and go sea kayaking instead. This deal of $25 for a half day tour ($55 value) at Sea Kayak Georgia is a great way to get your feet wet with the sea kayak experience.

Sea Kayak Georgia is located on Tybee Island, GA. They have bragging rights to the largest selection of kayaks in the southeast; a kayak for everyone, even if you are built a manatee, which you may be lucky enough to encounter on your outing. Owned by local residents, Sea Kayak Georgia has a variety of tours a trips designed to fit your time and desires. Full day trips (call for pricing and reservations), half day trips ($55 for adults, $45 for children 17 and under), camping, and their own School of Coastal Kayaking are among the many services offered. Sea Kayak Georgia also offers custom trips for individuals or groups. Overnight camping trips are offered in a variety of coastal locations, none of which include a dueling banjoes lullaby.

Imaging slicing through the waters, taking in the beautiful wildlife, the calm of the sea, the history of each small island, all without the fear of capture. Pure bliss."
