KUCHING, 10 April 2012 – Groupon Malaysia has announced its expansion to East Malaysia with the launch of local deals in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.

“East Malaysia has long been an exciting market for Groupon to explore as our existing deals have always attracted a strong base of customers from both Sabah and Sarawak. It is thus a true pleasure for us to be able to provide customers as well as visitors to East Malaysia with exciting and locally relevant deals just a little over one year after our introduction to Malaysia.” said Joel Neoh, Chief Executive Officer of Groupon Malaysia.

The launch of Groupon in East Malaysia allows customers to benefit from the company’s customary value saving deals of up to 90% off retail prices. The offers are ranging from beauty & wellness, leisure offers, travel, restaurant, shopping and services with the best value. Groupon has a network of over 2,500 merchants nationwide making it the largest and most successful group buying platform in the country.

“East Malaysia is already showing its importance to us as a market with a total of over 4,000 deals sold to date since launch for 2 weeks. As market leaders in providing both the best value and best experiences possible for customers, we are confident that even more local merchants will discover the value of integrating social marketing through Groupon into their business models and for numbers in the market to grow even further.” said Joel.
