Should therapy services ever be discounted?

Have your say…

With more and more daily discount deal companies such as Groupon and Wowcher offering special offers on different products and services, is this driving demand or devaluing the service offered? Does offering a certain amount of money off retail products and therapy treatments help to increase uptake and potentially encourage new customers who, in turn, may become regular clients? Or does an increase in therapy businesses offering discounts mean consumers are expecting more and more for less money, which means therapists are having to drop their prices to be able to compete?

What do you think?
