Dear Groupon: that is some SERIOUS social shopping savings

Item: Groupon saves its visitors some serious cash.

Watch as we uncover from their own website what happened IN ONE DAY…

First, December 17, in the morning — as I know because Area 224 was hosting a webinar and we wanted to zero in on metrics. We used this graphic from the Groupon web page:

From December 17Next, lets’ show you what we just uncovered, from their site, a mere 30 hours later, as of about 5:30 Central Time on Friday the 18th.

One Day Later

In one day, they sold 27,286 “Groupons” and saved customers $4,997,629. ($183 in savings per Groupon sold.)

OR, looking at it this way — just today’s deal alone — a Brite Smile spa treatment thing — has sold 828 times, at $185 per. Generating $153,180 in revenues. Split between the companies, I’m sure.

Am I questioning their numbers? NO. I’m in awe of them.

You?
