Groupon.com Users Are Affluent and Diverse in Age, According to GfK MRI
They Are Also More Likely to Favor Price Over Brand Loyalty
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 03/23/12 --
Groupon.com is used by all generational groups: among adults who visited Groupon.com in the last 30 days, 38% are Millennials (born between 1977 and 1994), 29% are GenXers (1965 to 1976) and 29% are Baby Boomers (1946 to 1964). Women are much more apt to be Groupon.com users: 67% of Groupon.com users are female and 33% are male.
GfK MRI research also indicates that wealthy households are quite hip to daily deals. In fact, Groupon.com users are more than twice as likely as non-Groupon.com users to live in households with annual incomes in excess of $100,000. Moreover, Groupon.com users are 73% more likely to live in households whose net worth exceeds $1 million.
"It's not surprising to see women using Groupon.com because our data show women make the overwhelming majority of household purchases in the United States," said Anne Marie Kelly, EVP, Marketing & Strategic Planning at GfK MRI. "What may be surprising to some, however, is the fact that wealthier households show a strong proclivity for using Groupon.com, confirming the truism that everyone loves a bargain, including those who may not need one."
GfK MRI data also show that Groupon.com users care more about price than brand loyalty.
More than 78% of Groupon.com users agree with the statement "Price is more important to me than brand names," making them 11% more likely than non-users to feel this way. Moreover, Groupon.com users are 20% more likely to say they would gladly switch brands to use a coupon.
