Discount Freebies Interview with Julie Anne Mossler from Groupon

This is part five for Discount Freebies' interview Julie Anne Mossler, PR & Consumer Marketing Manager for Groupon.

Any special deals for the Discount Freebies audience?

We can give away a Groupon credit of $25 to two of your readers.


Thank you very much Julie!

With that we will set the rules for the two freebies to be given away:

On a date and time to be announced here shortly, please send one and only one email per real live person to giveaways@discountfreebies.com

In this email you must include your real name, your city, state/province and country, and what kinds of things you would like to see on our blog and website. Please also include if you are following our blog and tweets on Twitter and what your user name is there. Julie may need other information from you later to be able to use and receive the credit. Lastly, include a feedback comment about the website or this blog.

The first two emails that I see when I look in the email box that I feel have met the above request or come closest to meeting it will win one $25 credit from Groupon. In case of a tie, preference will be given to those registered on the Discount Freebies blog as followers and to the same on Twitter. In case of a tie between followers, preference will be given to those who have signed up for both as followers. In case of more ties, the mighty and wise Groupon the Cat and those authorized to communicate for him will have final say.

All entries become the property of Discount Freebies and may be used in future material. Email addresses will not be given out or posted online, with exception that the chosen two email addresses (and any ties) will be sent to Julie.

If you have any questions about the giveaway, please ask info@discountfreebies.com

Discount Freebies Interview with Julie Anne Mossler from Groupon

This is part four for Discount Freebies' interview Julie Anne Mossler, PR & Consumer Marketing Manager for Groupon.

Is Groupon related to any other social group discount businesses?

No


Why should people choose Groupon over any place that offers group discounts and deals?


This is only place I would shop. I was a customer before I worked here. We are proactive in emailing people if a problem occurs. It’s the kind of business you want to work with. We have a customer service call center. All in all, it's a very transparent company and I think that's apparent to consumers and merchants. It’s a really fun company to interact with.


What’s on the horizon for Groupon?

We are looking at affiliates to provide value to subscribers. We did a major partnership with the Gap with a Groupon that ran in all states. It was very successful. We are working with McClatchy Newspapers.


What is the name of the Groupon cat?

It’s called “Groupon the Cat”. He's incredibly wise and often knows more than our writers do.

Discount Freebies Interview with Julie Anne Mossler from Groupon

This is part three for Discount Freebies' interview Julie Anne Mossler, PR & Consumer Marketing Manager for Groupon.


What type of selection process does a business go through to be able to be chosen for a Groupon?


- Positive online reviews
- Websites with pricing
- Word of mouth


Our deals pass through 8 levels of quality control teams to make sure facts are accurate and a business meets our standards.


What were some of your favorite deals?

I love music, so concert deals are my favorite. I was able to see Elton John
and Billy Joel at Wrigley Field! I tend to buy a lot of custom Groupons, like wine and jewelry, as gifts.

Favorite Possible Future deal?

I'm still trying to convince myself to buy Sky Diving!

Discount Freebies Interview with Julie Anne Mossler from Groupon

This is part two for Discount Freebies' interview Julie Anne Mossler, PR & Consumer Marketing Manager for Groupon.


Please tell us a little about your company.


What makes us special is the fact we provide a daily service with our deals, but customer service throughout the duration of the Groupon period is a priority too. We have a no questions asked return policy. If a merchant or Groupon ever lets you down, you get 100% of your money back. We pride ourselves in being a company we as customers would want to shop with.

Merchants enjoy working with us because we're unlike any other form of advertising they've tried. Traditionally they were cutting a check up front without any guarantee a person would come through your doors. With Groupon, customers are buying the vouchers up front and therefore far more likely to visit a business to redeem.


How many cities and countries do you currently cover?

29 countries
250 markets
20 million subscribers worldwide


How did Groupon grow to keep pace with demand?

A big part is hiring. We have a work hard, play hard culture. We purchased our largest clone, Citydeal, in April, which allowed us to expand into Europe overnight.

Discount Freebies Interview with Julie Anne Mossler from Groupon

Discount Freebies interviewed Julie Anne Mossler, PR & Consumer Marketing Manager from Groupon, who graciously gave of her time to answer a few questions and make a special offer for Discount Freebies followers. The Groupon interview will be posted here in five parts spanning this week. It will be posted in its entirety later at
http://discountfreebies.com/discountfreebiesinterviewGROUPON.html



How long have you been working for Groupon?


One year


What is it like to work for Groupon?

It’s crazy, but really great. Some days with the amount of activity it's not unlike navigating through an airport terminal. We have seventy people starting every two weeks...I don't see it dying down anytime soon!


What do you like the best about Groupon?

Definitely the people.


What is the most fun part of your job?

The nerdy part of me loves accomplishing publicity from things like Nightline. Beyond that, there are so many bizarre things going on...practical jokes are very popular here. Every day is different.

Target: Freebies

Target has a sample section. You answer a survey of about three questions related to the product wish to sample, fill out a form with mailing address for the sample and email address and

I tried this and it was very fast and simple.

The link I used was located here
http://samples.target.com/#29

I think this is a great idea for consumer, company of the product and Target. The store and respective companies get feedback on their products and marketing while the consumer gets to try something new for free.

Their main website is located at: http://target.com.

There is a section on their site for weekly coupons. You pick the coupons that you wish to use from a list.
