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.
