What Groupon, Inc. does
In the company’s own words
Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRPN) operates as a global scaled two-sided marketplace connecting consumers to merchants through its website at www.groupon.com. The company generates revenue by earning commissions on transactions where goods or services are sold on behalf of third-party merchants, as well as through digital coupons accessed via its digital properties.
The company operates across two geographic segments, North America and International, and three product categories: Local, Goods, and Travel. The Local category features experiences and services from merchants including things to do, beauty and wellness, food and drink, and home and automotive services. The Goods category encompasses merchandise across electronics, sporting goods, jewelry, toys, household items, and apparel sold by third-party merchants. The Travel category offers discounted and market-rate travel experiences including hotels, airfare, and package deals.
Groupon serves customers primarily through mobile applications and localized websites in thirteen countries. Approximately eighty-four percent of global transactions are completed on mobile devices. The company employs 1,734 people across its North America and International operations, with sales representatives creating merchant partnerships while support staff ensures smooth transactions. Additional teams including engineers, product designers, marketers, and editors power the platform to curate experiences.
The company's strategy focuses on becoming the trusted local experience marketplace by building long-term relationships with local merchants to strengthen online selection and enhance customer reach through experience curation and improved convenience. Central to this strategy is continued investment in product and engineering capabilities to deliver faster innovation and more personalized experiences for both customers and merchants. The company emphasizes developing AI-native experiences and building modern API architecture, AI-ready search and relevance capabilities, and AI-ready checkout functionality.
