Here's Everything You Need To Know About The Daily Deals Business In Europe

“We are not a technology company, we are more of a people company.”   With this strong statement, Tobias Tschoetsch from Groupon UK offered DD Summit Europe a perfect kick-off to launch the the first European daily deal event held in London on March 19th.  During one day, several hundreds of top executives representing 25 countries (see infographics) gathered to discuss and share the state of the group buying industry in the Old continent, less than three years after its creation in Chicago. With a great quality of speakers on stage and a professional organization, this initiative of Stavros Prodromou was considered a success for the whole industry and proved to be very insightful on different matters. After Groupon’s introduction – which reminded everyone their impressive leading market position with 48 countries presence and 33M active users – the day was dedicated to the future of the industry, in Europe and the rest of the world.

Livingsocial vs Groupon vs Facebook Deals vs Google Offers en 1 image

Les sites de commerce basés sur les achats groupés commencent à pulluler sur le web, Groupon étant un des plus connus, Google Offers ayant démarré il y a un peu plus d'1 semaine et Facebook Deals qui vient de démarrer dans quelques villes américaines. De grosses sommes d'argent sont en jeu et Groupon ayant refusé le rachat par Google , il était logique que Google Offers voit le jour, en ce qui concerne Facebook Deals , la puissance de Facebook et ces centaines de millions de membres en font un support idéal pour la diffusion de bons plans.

Is Groupon Good for a Small Business? Do the Math - NYTimes.com

I have been reading with great interest (especially here ) the stories of retailers sharing their experiences using Groupon . For those of you not familiar with Groupon, the company partners with local businesses to send a daily coupon e-blast to its members. The members who buy the coupon get 50 to 70 percent off on a product or service, and Groupon splits the proceeds with the retailer — usually leaving the retailer with about 20 to 25 cents on the dollar of retail value.
