It is well known fact that everybody now wants a pie of Daily Deals and hence Facebook, Google, and Amazon etc entered the space. Let us look at what has happened to the TakeRate - It is the percentage of each deal that the company gets to keep. It has fallen from 44% in the March quarter, to its current rate of 37% due to competition being encouraged by other platforms.
Groupon's Take Rate could shift downward as the business model shifts and includes lower Take Rate product mix. Over the past 9-12 months, Groupon has launched a series of new products, and we believe a large variety of these products tend to have lower Take Rates.
As the company has to grow, it is spending a fortune on customer acquisition and thus it can be hurt if it fail to enlarge its visibility and platform across the world.
