  • Groupon has partnered with Barbara Corcora – a businesswoman, investor, speaker, consultant, syndicated columnist, author and TV personality – to celebrate women-led businesses in the U.S. for Women’s History Month.

    For the first time, Groupon will feature a set of deals from women-led businesses, which customers can support by purchasing.

    “Women are a powerful force behind the success of one of the top e-commerce companies in the world,” said Corcoran, “And as a self-made entrepreneur myself, I’m happy to partner with Groupon to help make even more local businesses a success.”

    Groupon is also holding a contest through March 19, in which women business owners and leaders can submit their best business advice for fellow entrepreneurs. Corcoran will pick one person to win a trip for two to New York City for two days and a private consultation with her.

    Groupon is also encouraging people to share their advice on social media using the hashtag #grpnwomen. This is for a chance to win an autographed copy of Barbara Corcoran’s latest book, “Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business.”

    Groupon CEO Eric Lefkofsky said, “Not only are 70 percent of Groupon customers women, but a majority of the merchants on the website are women-led businesses. There is no better way to celebrate those merchants and Women’s History Month than to partner with one of the top female entrepreneurs today, Barbara Corcoran.”
