Scoopon

Scoopon is Australia’s number one group buying site. Founded in 2010 by brothers Gabby and Hezi Leibovich, the site features one unbeatable deal a day on services and experiences.

Featuring everything from restaurant deals to pampering packages, movie tickets to luxurious getaways, every day at noon a new offer promises a top deal based on a pre-determined number of coupons purchased. With the deal relying on numbers to happen, Scoopon redefines social shopping as customers band together to secure something they really, really want for a fraction of the price!

Scoopon is part of the CatchoftheDay eCommerce group, which boasts a combined membership base of more than 950,000 active and engaged shoppers. Each day the e-commerce group receives more than 150,000 visitors to its sites, with a product sold from its sites every four seconds.

Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, the CatchoftheDay group employs more than 100 staff.
