| Description | Local Daily Deals |
Groupon (www.groupon.com) features a daily deal on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in cities across the United States. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, we can offer deals that aren’t available elsewhere.
Groupon brings buyers and sellers together in a fun and collaborative way that offers the consumer an unbeatable deal, and businesses a large number of new customers. To date, Groupon has saved consumers more than $17 million and has generated millions in revenue for the businesses it features.
Groupon originated the concept of using collective buying to get a daily deal on local goods and services, and is an outgrowth of ThePoint.com, an online community launched in 2007 for organizing all forms of group action and fund-raising around a “tipping point” of required participants.
