Today Groupon (www.groupon.com)
announced the launch of Freebies (www.groupon.com/freebies),
a new category in its ecommerce marketplace that provides shoppers with
an easy way to save money in the online stores of their favorite brands.
Freebies will include digital coupons, promotion codes, sales, giveaways
and samples.

Williams, senior vice president of global marketing. "With top brands, a
huge selection and exclusive offers, Freebies is another reason to
always check Groupon first."
Freebies is initially launching in the United States, with plans to
expand to key international markets in 2014. Merchants interested in
advertising through the category can send an email to couponadvertising@groupon.com.
Even if you're just looking for a coupon for all
the tap water you care to drink or one
brisk walk (but not too brisk, just brisk enough) — Freebies has
something for everyone.
