Why Groupon Is Poised For Collapse

Why Groupon Is Poised For Collapse: "The hidden auction

Underlying Groupon’s success is an auction. It’s not explicit, like Google’s AdWords bidding platform, but the economic effects are similar. The fact that Groupon runs daily deals creates artificial scarcity and drives up pricing to absurd levels. Even with four deals a day in a given market, you’re talking about fewer than 1,500 deals a year.

The “bid” in this auction is the total revenue that goes to Groupon. That’s a function of the value of the voucher, the negotiated revenue share and the number of deals that will be sold. The number of deals that will be sold is a function of, among other factors, how deep a discount and how commonly needed the product is. The larger the discount, the greater the volume."

  6. You may be called to be a healer with herbs, you may be called to
    making food using more regional ingredients. You have
    to be the right person in the right place at the right time.

  7. Microsoft Word has many built-in borders that you
    can apply to a paragraph, a page or an entire document. Life moves fast in this
    new era, but have we lost some of what we had back when things were simpler.

    Most sellers offer an impressive selection of sugar-free candies, in addition to the popular originals.
