Disclaimer: Groupon engineer (but not speaking for company).
Groupon's a lot more than daily deals now—that (what we call "Local") is still a big part of the business, but there is also Goods, Getaways, our POS/inventory management system, and Snap! by Groupon (in addition to several other things I'm probably forgetting). And even in Local the emphasis has shifted from daily emails ("push") to various "pull" strategies.
It's always tough when you fire your founder and CEO, but the company's been recovering steadily and I have faith in upper management's ability to continue increasing revenue and diversifying the product offering.
- brador 12y ago> daily emails ("push") to various "pull" strategies. I guess push is notifying the user, but what's pull?
- alasdair_ 12y agoHave a lot of content and "pull" users to the site to experience it. Part of that is having Yelp-style merchant pages with reviews on them, part is having a lot more editorial and blogger content and part is building in search so you can find, say, "things to do in San Francisco" or whatever more easily.
- mooreds 12y agoI'm a happy Groupon user. Not sure if it is working for the companies that I buy Groupons for, but as a consumer I certainly review those emails.
