COLUMBIA, 2/8/11 (Beat Byte)
-- Groupon, a web service that
searches out the best local goods, services and cultural events in more than 500
markets around the world, has launched in Columbia.
"Columbia is an ideal
Groupon market," said Groupon president Rob Solomon. "We look forward to
bringing students and residents unbeatable deals from top local
businesses."
Groupon negotiates discounts with popular businesses, giving
subscribers daily email alerts. Deals are only activated when a minimum number
of people agree to buy, encouraging subscribers to share promotions.
"Groupon brings buyers and sellers together in a fun and collaborative
way," said Solomon. "We offer the consumer a great deal they can't get anywhere
else and deliver the sales directly to the merchant."
Columbia joins St.
Louis, Kansas City and Springfield as Missouri's fourth Groupon market.
