Groupon is a marketplace where merchants promote their businesses to diverse local audiences on a "pay-for-performance" basis.
After you join our platform, we help you craft an attractive offer for the products or services you want listed. But unlike traditional marketing platforms which make you pay upfront to host your ad, Groupon covers all the initial costs to set up and promote your deal. You don't pay a thing until after a customer buys and redeems a voucher, and our marketing fee is then deducted from your payout for that transaction.
So instead of paying upfront for marketing which may or may not generate sales, you only pay for results after we've successfully marketed your deal and sent customers your way!
Groupon Website
Your Groupon deal page unlocks access to millions of users as they shop. It also links your business’s website or social media, so customers can learn more about you even after your campaign.
Mobile Application
Groupon’s mobile app has over 200 million downloads and counting. That means customers can seek out and access your deals almost immediately.
National Media Outlets
Groupon drives business to your campaign by investing in online video, social advertising, search engine marketing (SEM), organic search (SEO), email marketing, and other online advertising, as well as national campaigns in traditional media outlets.
A Groupon campaign can support the rest of your marketing efforts to help you meet a variety of business goals, from researching customer demographics to reactivating lapsed customers.
Your deal page links to your website and social media, serving as a source of brand exposure. Responding to Groupon reviews provides you with positive testimonials to share and improves your reputation. Training staff to upsell or offer in-house discounts to Groupon customers can boost revenue and convert new customers into regulars. The Merchant Center portal lets you review data on campaign performance and customer demographics to inform and fine-tune your marketing strategy.
