Group"on" the move... A brand new online shopping experience!

There’s a saying in Chinese, 团结是力量 (unity is strength). This is the concept behind the business model of the billion dollar company GROUPON.

Stop cutting coupons, and Log onto Groupon

Typically, I’ll be walking into a restaurant on a weeknight only to find out that yesterday, the same meal was being offered at half the price. Or, even more often, I’ll be scrolling through all the spam in my inbox when I finally have a second on a Thursday, only to discover that the 40% off coupon from Borders was only for Tuesday and Wednesday and the $200 off coupon from Travelocity expired Wednesday at … more
