A new Groupon holiday survey of 1,000 people found that
consumers (more than 80%) plan to spend more on experiences this
holiday season. While a majority of survey respondents (63%) are
concerned about the impact of inflation, the vast majority of
shoppers (eight out of 10) said they will spend the same amount or
more on gifts for their family and friends, and themselves, than
they did in 2021.
“Groupon Day is back and bigger than ever! Inflation is top of
mind with consumers and they are kicking off the holiday shopping
season earlier than ever to find the unique gifts at the affordable
values they need to make holiday wishes come true. Groupon has
amazing deals to help shoppers stretch their hard-earned dollars
and unlock the magic of the holiday season with gifts of
experiences that will be remembered long after they are unwrapped,”
said Melanie Hellenga, Groupon’s Vice President of Brand and
Performance Marketing. “According to our research, experiences such
as concerts, sporting events, museum passes, beauty and wellness
services and treatments and travel packages continue to dominate
shopping lists this holiday season. This is also a big time of year
for our merchants offering those experiences, and we’re excited to
also help connect shoppers to local businesses they can support in
their communities.”
“Groupon Day’s benefits extend beyond just gifting. Nearly 60%
of shoppers told us they plan to treat themselves to more gifts
this holiday season, and our Groupon Day deals will be great
opportunities for them to indulge. In addition, Groupon Day will
have discounts on numerous services that we all use in our everyday
lives from beauty services and treatments that keep you looking and
feeling your best to oil changes before any big road trips to see
family and friends –– all for great values. There is something for
everyone this year during Groupon Day and we can’t wait to help our
customers kick off the holiday season.”
On Groupon Day only, Groupon is launching a limited-quantity,
exclusive series of new experiences that go on sale at 11:00 a.m.
