Acquire New Customers
The Groupon Way
- Groupon customers are often first-time buyers who spend beyond the voucher, tell friends and family about positive experiences, and return to the business at a later time.
- Our algorithm shows your offer to those most likely to buy, and after each transaction you can see data about their demographics, purchase behavior, and reviews.
The Other Way
- When you promote an offer to your own audiences in-store or on social media, you mostly reach your existing customers instead of acquiring new ones.
- If you pay to spread the message with online or traditional advertising, you might not receive much information about who viewed or engaged with your ad.

Manage Customer Flow
The Groupon Way
- Use Groupon during the slow season to fill empty seats in your restaurant, fitness class, tour group, or hotel.
- Set a monthly voucher cap to control the flow of new customers and keep it manageable.
- Make your campaign bookable to increase bookings during your most available hours, and seamlessly integrate with other booking systems.
The Other Way
- When running your own promotion, you may not be able to predict how many customers will take you up on your offer, or if they’ll come in during already busy hours.
- If you require customers to book a reservation or appointment, your booking system might not integrate with your other online marketing platforms.

Pay for Performance
The Groupon Way
- No startup costs, no paying for views or clicks. Groupon covers all setup and promotion costs, and you only pay a marketing fee after each sale. This means you pay for results, not promises.
- Contrary to the myth that Groupon always takes 50%, our commission rate is flexible and tailored to your business.
The Other Way
- Other online marketing platforms make you pay just for views or clicks on your ad, without knowing if any of those users will follow through and make a purchase.
- Traditional advertising methods like billboards or newspapers also charge you upfront, before you even know how many people will view your ad.
1. No upfront costs, no pay-per-click or pay-per-view
2. Only charges a fee on sales we generate
3. If no sales, then there's no charge—just free exposure
VS.
Other Ad Platforms
1. Charges upfront to host your ad, or for each view or click
2. You hope the visibility brings you sales
3. If not, then it's your loss—they keep your money anyway
