Traditional retailing is becoming dead in today’s economic climate, therefor making online shopping daily deals the place to get deep discount pricing offers.
Amazon tried to compete against Groupon but failed with Living Social. Living Social laid off 50 percent of its staff in 2016. Amazon may be selling individual items at the warehouse at Costco prices, but it does not get the same wholesale price that Costco is able to get. Therefore, this affects Amazon’s bottom line on profits.
For sellers advertising on Groupon, it’s a low-cost alternative to online advertising that is directed to their target market. Groupon makes it very easy for sellers to list products on their site. Sites like Walmart have very long tedious seller approval processes. Groupon allows smaller sellers as well as bigger brands to move inventory faster. The Groupon customer is an instant buyer.
The advantage of sellers placing their ads on Groupon is that they can gain long term customers for a lifetime. They reach buyers they never would have reached through traditional online advertising. Groupon helps sellers move out inventory fast without waiting weeks or months to sell on legacy sites like Ebay and Amazon. Fees are so high for sellers on the legacy sites like Walmart, Ebay and Amazon, the consumer is not always getting the best price from the merchant. With Groupon Daily Deals, the deals offered are too good to pass up. Consumers like the excitement of the daily deal. While Ebay is old hat when it comes to auctions with consumers having to wait days to see if they win, Groupon buyers have the excitement of purchasing a daily deal in an instant.

Consumers love to look forward to something new every day, and Groupon offers that with a constant change of inventory, services and products that far outweigh what a traditional store offers.
