Company Summary

CitySpots is a company that provides consumers with consistent discounts of 20% and up, at a range of businesses across New York. Unlike daily deal websites, the discounts are consistent, so they encourage repeat customers. Consumers also benefit because all they need to do is to find places they like, and they always get the discount there. We are capitalizing on a large market, but with a very different model from our competitors.
