About Groupon

Groupon was created in 2008 as a platform to offer group buying deals to consumers, aiming to leverage collective purchasing power for discounts. It emerged from an earlier project called The Point, which Andrew Mason founded to facilitate social and collective action. The company quickly gained popularity by providing daily deals on local services and goods, expanding its operations globally and becoming a significant player in the e-commerce space.

Strengths of Groupon included a large user base, strong brand recognition, and the ability to drive significant traffic and sales for local businesses. Weaknesses involved dependency on discounts, which could erode merchant margins, and challenges in maintaining customer loyalty. Competitors included LivingSocial, RetailMeNot, and other local deal platforms that offered similar discount services.
