Grow with Groupon: Groupon Highlights Small Business Merchants in National Ad Campaign

Mar 7, 2024

On October 23, Groupon launched a new advertising campaign on broadcast and cable TV networks showcasing small business merchants.

The ads feature the tagline “Groupon: Where Businesses Grow and Customers Save,” and tell the stories of local merchant successes working with Groupon. Check out the 30-second ad below!

The ad campaign will run on networks like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News, among others. To watch all of the ads, visit the Groupon YouTube channel. Want to know more about the individual merchants? Click here to see 90-second YouTube videos highlighting each merchant in his/her own feature!

The small business merchants featured in the ads span Groupon’s three largest local business categories: food and drinkhealth, beauty, and wellness; and things to do. In both the campaign ads (and the coming individual merchant videos), the merchants share how their businesses have been positively impacted by Groupon.
