500 staff fired at Groupon

So wrong about Costco… if you just use it for petrol, you’ll get your money’s worth easily

I thought they were all a family. How do you fire family lol

pink slips is your car roadworthy cert.

Heise…..you need to set up a slushy-fund for the kids….

You have to be online you can't afford to do anything else a caesar salad and a glass of

I've used Groupon to promote my business – it was VERY SUCCESSFUL. I own a laser studio. If a treatment is for eg $100 I sell it on Groupon at a discounted price of say $30. You do not make a profit initially due to the discounting, just cover costs if you manage the deal well, but you can sell a massive volume. Many people who buy vouchers on Groupon are 'bargain junkies' and will never return, but I've found that about 30% of the customers do come back and many refer friends/family and/or buy other products/services when they come in to use their voucher. I think of it as giving a potential customer a 'free sample', which for a small business is much better than spending money on advertising with no idea what the ROI will be. With the 'discount voucher system' everyone wins: the customer gets a heavily discounted service, the merchant doesn't pay anything for the deal so if it's a flop nothing is lost except time doing the services and Groupon take a commission based on sales. You can use the system to fill quiet times in the business or to sell stock that is not moving well. The interesting thing is that Groupon expanded to what they are not during the GFC, probably because people were looking for discounts or a cheaper alternative eg they didn't want to splurge on a holiday in uncertain times so they treated themselves to say a spa treatment or a massage & facial instead. Also during the 1930's downturn, sales for items like lipstick actually increased (women looking for a 'cheap treat' to cheer themselves up). It is really odd that a discount business is losing sales at the moment. Re the lockdown and online shopping, i'm not sure this would impact Groupon because many businesses including mine could not operate so there was no point selling vouchers. I really hope they continue to operate in Australia.

What’s mission critical at Groupon 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

Camel toe in tights

KPI system is of no value.

Groupon is great! I only use it for one thing, 50% off Ben & Jerry's (pay $20 get $40 in value) ^_^ X

I haven't used group on in years. I've found that the businesses that sign up to it are desperate. They take the money but then don't want to honour the deal because they realise that it's unprofitable for them.

if you work in construction your a fool if you think you have a super you can retire on if any.

Fat acceptance if you identify as a woman, being overweight by 50+ lbs is strong and brave….

Losing business slowly, customers being woodwinked!

Another fad, nepotism company!
