The second pack of group buying sites consists of MilkADeal, Jackcow, Superdeals, ILoveDiscounts, Dealmates and EziVoucher, each generating around RM200k-400k revenue. They are followed by several medium-to-small players each with revenue ranging from few thousands to some with slightly more than RM100k.

    Marketing Strategy of Groupon: Case Study

    Case Study 14.1 talks about the new internet coupon sensation: Groupon. Groupon was recently discovered in Chicago to gain exposure to new businesses through discounted membership deals and has been on the rise ever since. This particular case study attempts to elaborate on the success of Groupon and how it works. The e-coupon was designed to help business owners appeal to new prospective consumers by advertising group discounts on products and services. So far, the website advertises business in 45 major U.S Cities and has over 2 million subscribers. There are a range of businesses that are advertised on the website. You can find discounts on spa packages, concert tickets, dinner and dessert specials, and more. The way it works is, the business owner makes a deal with the website by offering a discount on a product or service and tells how much they are willing to accept for it and the amount they’re willing to give away. Then, Groupon advertises the offer for a limited time and receives a finder’s fee once consumers purchase the deals. The business has full control over the minimum and maximum number of deals they’re willing to offer. If the deal doesn’t appeal to consumers then there is no financial loss to the business owner. The intention of the business owner is not to gain a lot of profit from the deals made; rather the intent is to drive traffic to the business once the deal is over. Moreover, the benefit of Groupon to the producer comes after the deal is over and the benefit of Groupon for the consumer comes while the deal is still going on.…

    Groupon is a deal-of-the-day website that features discounted gift certificates usable at local or national companies. Groupon was launched in November 2008, and the first market for Groupon was Chicago, followed soon thereafter by Boston, New York City, and Toronto. By October 2010 Groupon served more than 150 markets in North America and 100 markets in Europe, Asia and South America and had 35 million registered users. The idea for Groupon was created by now-ousted CEO and Pittsburgh native Andrew Mason. The idea subsequently gained the attention of his former employer, Eric Lefkofsky, who provided $1 million in “seed money” to develop the idea. In April 2010, the company was valued at $1.35 billion. According to a December 2010 report conducted by Groupon’s marketing association and reported in Forbes Magazine and the Wall Street Journal, Groupon was “projecting that the company is on pace to make $1 billion in sales faster than any other business, ever” (Groupon Press, 2014).…

    Why Does Groupon Generate Revenue

    Merchants do not have to pay an upfront fee for Groupon’s services, so there is virtually no risk. This is attractive for small business owners since they may not have the means to pay for advertising, knowing they only have to pay Groupon once they start making money themselves. Also, Groupon customers typically spend more than the value of the deal and 91% return or plan to return to the business, so merchants are essentially guaranteed more clients and higher retention rates. Groupon’s merchant satisfaction rating is about 79% - 15 percent higher than the average business-to-business (B2B) merchant satisfaction score (all of these factors make Groupon the most attractive choice for the purpose of risk free marketing)…

    Groupon Case Summary

    Groupon has overcome much resilience since its inception in 2008. After growing from 400 subscribers to over 200 million (in 2011), Groupon has proved its strategy works. To the consumers, Groupon is a simple process in which they pick a deal they are interested in, enter their credit card information, and then wait to see if the deal tips with other purchasers. This waiting period, part of the fourth stage in the purchase decision process, is one of the most important parts for Groupon’s company. It is during this span of time that consumers must take it upon themselves to share the deal within email, texting, and social media, for if the deal does not reach its minimum purchase requirements, no one will receive the deal.…
