GLOBAL BUSINESS, LOCAL FLAVOR
How Groupon Manages Conversations
With 15 Million Fans Across 48 Countries
THE BACKGROUND
Groupon recently had its fifth birthday. Though still
considered to be a young enterprise, the brand is
valued at more than $6 billion, operates in 48 countries
and is considered one of the fastest growing companies
in history. This all couldn’t have happened overnight, right?
But it kind of did.
“With the acquisition of an international component
a couple years ago, we went from being a North
American startup to a global brand — in what could
be seen as just a couple of hours,” said Paul Matson,
Groupon’s head of content and social media.
GROUPON’S GLOBAL SOCIAL PRESENCE
THE PROBLEM
Groupon became a juggernaut practically overnight,
but the company was built upon the premise of being
locally focused. So, how can a global company still
have local flavor and be personal?
“We are innately social,” Matson said. “So, we quickly
realized that social media would be one of the keys to
success in remaining relevant to our local markets.”
They not only used social to help find new business
with merchants, but also to reach out to customers.
But as the company grew, so did their social needs.
The complexity of the organization compounded.

CASE STUDY
They also have a window into understanding their
global conversations. Groupon has 15 million fans
and followers worldwide. In a given week, the brand
receives 85,000 (and growing) inbound messages.
So the problem wasn’t finding conversations, it was
understanding and taking part in them.
They now have the ability to not only see those
messages, but also to route them to the team best
suited to respond.
Two months ago, 64% of responses happened within
30 minutes. “But, that was with 44,000 inbound
messages… meaning: our response rate is improving
even with our audience size growing,” Matson said.
Even more importantly, Groupon now knows the
context of all these conversations. They have a
comprehensive view of the customer — gathered from
conversations on Facebook, Twitter and other social
channels — without requiring any savant-esque
abilities to memorize millions of social interactions.
By having a unified view of the customer, Groupon can
give each individual the VIP treatment. And they can do
this 15 million times over.
“The time required to make social effective was more
than what the sales reps could allocate,” Matson said.
The company soon found it hard to manage all these
conversations effectively. For example, there were close
to 400 Twitter handles associated with Groupon at one point.
“The system became fragmented. It was a mess.
Relative chaos,” he said.
So, they re-evaluated and redefined their goals. They
hired a team of individuals solely dedicated to social.
They adopted “One Playbook,” to which all charged
with the task of communicating on behalf of Groupon
would adhere. But there was something missing...
“The missing piece was technology,” Matson said.
“We needed a third-party partner to help us better
understand our global social presence, then implement
and roll it out to every country.”
“After reviewing all major players in the market, Sprinklr
was best for our needs on a global scale,” he added.
THE RESULTS
After 30 days of implementation, Groupon was already
able to gain insight into its overall presence. How large
was the global audience? Which markets performed
best? Which assets were doing well?
“Social media is notorious for being difficult to analyze
and digest,” Matson said. “But by implementing one
platform across all markets, we were seeing numbers
we weren’t able to identify before.”
By tagging campaigns, for example, they’re able to
refine the types of content being shared across their
1,300 social accounts. If two countries offer similar
deals, but one performs considerably better, Groupon
can look at the content pieces being used by each
market and analyze the differences.
“We have a window into understanding our global
business,” Matson said.

CASE STUDY
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:
THE TECHNOLOGY:
PUBLISHING: Upload, draft, review, geo-target,
schedule and tag content across all channels.
ENGAGEMENT: Take part in thousands of conversations
on a daily basis. Monitor, engage and manage
audiences across international social properties in
real time. No conversation will be left behind.
SOCIAL CRM: Have a unified view of your customers
across traditional and social channels, on a global scale.
REPORTING: Gain insights into what types of content
— from promotions to interesting articles to customer
service responses — perform best and create
custom reports.
GOVERNANCE: Mitigate risks, prevent human errors
and ensure that all users follow brand guidelines,
even with regular internal changes.
SOCIAL ASSET MANAGEMENT: Store, manage, view
and suggest content assets across your entire enterprise
to ensure quality, consistency and collaboration.
THE SERVICES:
Sprinklr’s Implementation and Success Teams work
with clients to ensure that they achieve their social goals.
Aside from the technology
itself, a critical part of our
success for a global rollout was
the dedication from the Sprinklr
team. It's no small feat to assist
teams across a dozen different
time zones and languages, and
I can only imagine how many
cups of coffee they consumed
in the process.

Head of Content and Social Media at Groupon

How Groupon Manages 15 Million Social Relationships

All rights reserved. 1 GLOBAL BUSINESS, LOCAL FLAVOR How Groupon Manages Conversations With 15 Million Fans Across 48 Countries THE BACKGROUND Groupon recently had its fifth birthday.

All rights reserved. 2 CASE STUDY They also have a window into understanding their global conversations. Groupon has 15 million fans and followers worldwide. In a given week, the brand receives 85,000 (and growing) inbound messages. So the problem wasn’t finding conversations, it was understanding and taking part in them. They now have the ability to not only see those messages, but also to route them to the team best suited to respond. Two months ago, 64% of responses happened within 30 minutes. “But, that was with 44,000 inbound messages… meaning: our response rate is improving even with our audience size growing,” Matson said. Even more importantly, Groupon now knows the context of all these conversations. They have a comprehensive view of the customer — gathered from conversations on Facebook, Twitter and other social channels — without requiring any savant-esque abilities to memorize millions of social interactions. By having a unified view of the customer, Groupon can give each individual the VIP treatment. And they can do this 15 million times over. “The time required to make social effective was more than what the sales reps could allocate,” Matson said. The company soon found it hard to manage all these conversations effectively. For example, there were close to 400 Twitter handles associated with Groupon at one point. “The system became fragmented. It was a mess. Relative chaos,” he said. So, they re-evaluated and redefined their goals. They hired a team of individuals solely dedicated to social. They adopted “One Playbook,” to which all charged with the task of communicating on behalf of Groupon would adhere. But there was something missing... “The missing piece was technology,” Matson said. “We needed a third-party partner to help us better understand our global social presence, then implement and roll it out to every country.” “After reviewing all major players in the market, Sprinklr was best for our needs on a global scale,” he added. THE RESULTS After 30 days of implementation, Groupon was already able to gain insight into its overall presence. How large was the global audience? Which markets performed best? Which assets were doing well? “Social media is notorious for being difficult to analyze and digest,” Matson said. “But by implementing one platform across all markets, we were seeing numbers we weren’t able to identify before.” By tagging campaigns, for example, they’re able to refine the types of content being shared across their 1,300 social accounts. If two countries offer similar deals, but one performs considerably better, Groupon can look at the content pieces being used by each market and analyze the differences. “We have a window into understanding our global business,” Matson said.

ENGAGEMENT: Take part in thousands of conversations on a daily basis. Monitor, engage and manage audiences across international social properties in real time. No conversation will be left behind. SOCIAL CRM: Have a unified view of your customers across traditional and social channels, on a global scale. REPORTING: Gain insights into what types of content — from promotions to interesting articles to customer service responses — perform best and create custom reports. GOVERNANCE: Mitigate risks, prevent human errors and ensure that all users follow brand guidelines, even with regular internal changes. SOCIAL ASSET MANAGEMENT: Store, manage, view and suggest content assets across your entire enterprise to ensure quality, consistency and collaboration. THE SERVICES: Sprinklr’s Implementation and Success Teams work with clients to ensure that they achieve their social goals. Aside from the technology itself, a critical part of our success for a global rollout was the dedication from the Sprinklr team. It's no small feat to assist teams across a dozen different time zones and languages, and I can only imagine how many cups of coffee they consumed in the process.
