Groupon has recently registered a number of domain names containing "groupongoods," which suggests that the company may be planning to leverage its resources and move into the online retail industry.
According to an article published on August 22nd, written by Robin Wauters for the American tech blog TechCrunch, Groupon has registered many domains with "groupongoods," indicating that the company might use its advantages to enter the online retail sector and compete with Amazon.
The article points out that Groupon has recently registered several domain names containing "groupongoods," such as .com, .net, .us, .info, .biz, and even .fr. Registering these domains does not necessarily mean that Groupon will soon launch a service called "Groupon Goods," but it's worth considering this possibility.
It is analyzed that, in reality, this rapidly growing company could apply its successful local commerce model and large global user base to offer groceries, daily necessities, and other items frequently purchased online.
On one hand, as the company prepares for its IPO, Groupon can explore this as a way to diversify its revenue streams and accelerate growth without significantly increasing labor costs.
Notably, Groupon already has precedent in this area. They have started collaborating with Expedia and LiveNation to provide group-buying deals for travel and ticketing services.
If Groupon Goods performs well, it could potentially become a challenger to Amazon.
Groupon declined to comment on this matter.
