Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN)(http://www.groupon.com)
is pairing the biggest shopping day of the year with its largest-ever
promotion, putting $100 million in Groupon Bucks in the hands of tens of
millions of subscribers on Black Friday.
Groupon is giving select customers individual amounts up to $5,000 in
Groupon Bucks. In addition, one specially selected customer will receive
$25,000 in Groupon Bucks to use towards a year-long Groupon shopping
spree -- that’s enough to buy a local Groupon every day for a year, an
unforgettable Groupon Getaways and a full wish list from Groupon Goods.
In the unlikely event the customer needs something that’s not available
on Groupon, we’re also giving the customer $5,000 in cash.
“With more than 65,000 great deals and the biggest Groupon promotion
ever, we’re giving our customers the chance to skip the lines and save
even more cash on Black Friday by checking Groupon first,” said Rich
Williams, senior vice president of global marketing for Groupon.
