Scoutmob’s #Revelmob Party Is A Genius Idea

This post is part praise, part a shameless attempt at a blog post getting seen by Scoutmob so I can get an invitation to the #Revelmob event this week. I just want to get that out there quickly and directly. Anyways…

Scoutmob is a unique deals site in that, unlike the Groupon’s and LivingSocials of the world, you don’t buy a Scoutmob deal ahead of time. The deals are always (or a vast, vast majority of the time) 50% off at a certain establishment. The deals don’t expire a day or two from when they go live either, they last for months. I can’t say how many times I’ve found a new restaurant because of Scoutmob…and loved every single one of them. Frequently, many of the establishments also have return deals for a percentage off your next bill for your second trip back.

So Scoutmob is a great company, with a great mobile app and website, and great mustaches…and now they are great at building, and riding the hype train apparently.

In the last couple of months they sent emails out to their users about a new VIP-type service called Revel that will have invite-only secret events, special deals, etc. It just so happens that first such deal in Atlanta is this weekend, best known as the #Revelmob Party.

Since I am on the outside looking in I know very little about the event, only that it’s supposed to be super cool. The Scoutmob team has put together the perfect formula of secrecy, emerging trends, and the right niche group to create a maelstrom of awesome that everyone wants to go to, but nobody seems to know where or when it is.

What happens when you tell a child that they can’t have that ONE toy? They will do anything to get it. What happens when you tell social-savvy, tech-savvy people that there’s a secret party that they can’t know anything about and won’t be able to go to? They will do anything to get an invite. Welcome to the game Revel. You’re winning it already.

Does anybody have details on this event and/or an invite they’d let me be the +1 for?
