Groupon

If you're on the lookout for a good deal, you may want to consider dropping by at Groupon.com.



Groupon.com is a website that can help you save a lot of money on just about anything. It is essentially a place where you can get great group rates for products and services in a number of cities.



The concept behind Groupon.com is pretty simple. A business offers a product or service (for example, lunch or a jacket) at an extreme discount. As long as enough people sign up for it--usually at least a hundred--the group/deal is on and the discount coupon is sent via email to those who have signed up. Groupon can save you money on everything from museum memberships to spa service to skydiving.



Within a year, Groupon has built a mailing list of over a million and a half people, sold over 800 thousand groupons, and has saved consumers over 35 million dollars (in 26 cities). It has become so popular that it has been featured on the Today Show, on the CBS Early Show, Good Morning America, and Fox Business News, among others. In early January 2010, Groupon.com was ranked the number 1 hottest website on Quantcast 100.



So, just how big are the bargains? On Groupon.com you can get discounts of up to 80% off the original price.



Registering with Groupon.com is completely free. Once registered, you will be sent daily updates via email of the latest Groupon offers in your area.



Groupon.com was originally launched in November 2008. The idea for Groupon was created by Andrew Mason who is currently its CEO. Within a year of its launch it was able to help a lot of business get tons of new customers (usually several folds more that what they had been expecting). What's great about Groupon is that businesses don't have to bother much about anything when they avail of Groupon's services. They don't have to pay for anything to have their coupons created and make them available to the consumers (Groupon just gets a cut of the deal from them). Businesses don't have to bother about getting a web site created (it's actually not needed on Groupon). All a business owner has to do is to get in touch with a Groupon agent and the agent will help and guide him/her through the process of getting his/her coupon created and made available on the Groupon site.



As of July 2010, Groupon.com is estimated to have already made US$350 million since the beginning of the year. Imagine if you can run a site/service like Groupon.com.
