Groupon is a digital coupon marketplace where shoppers find discounted deals on local services and goods, like a daily-deals flyer for restaurants, spas, and activities.
Revenue comes from commissions on merchant deals and direct product sales, with gross margins around 90% but net losses in recent years, showing thin operating profitability.
Groupon's brand recognition and merchant network provide some stickiness, but intense competition from Amazon, Yelp, and local deal aggregators erodes its advantage, making it hard to sustain pricing power.
