Groupon
Collective Buying Power
2009 Winner

Groupon features a daily deal on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in cities across the United States. Using the unique concept of collective buying, Groupon is able to promise businesses a minimum number of customers and, in turn, 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 $22 million and has generated millions in revenue for the businesses it features.


GroupOn currently operate websites in major markets throughout the United States and plan to be in about 30 U.S. cities by the end of 2009.
