Offering an $888 Credit (100 Days) to all businesses to try the Self-Service Mobile Coupon Platform – No Catch
New York, New York. December 9th, 2009 – 8coupons.com, the best place to find mobile coupons and deals in your neighborhood is evolving and growing. Once only known in New York City for Mobile Coupons and OCHO LOCO! promotions, 8coupons.com has improved into a one-stop shop for locating all of your favorite deals, regardless of where you live. With a loaded database of over 60,000 mobile coupons and deals throughout the country, consumers can now find all their money-saving information in one place.
“Savvy consumers will check 8coupons.com before they head out to eat, drink, shop, or do anything in their neighborhood”, said Landy Ung, CEO and Co-founder of 8coupons.com. “There’s a high chance that we can help shoppers get more for their money and let them know about a great nearby deal that they wouldn’t otherwise know about. 8coupons.com aggregates thousands of mobile coupons and local deals throughout the country.“
The newly designed site has been upgraded in the following areas.
Nationwide: - There are now deals all over the country, not just New York City.
Location Based: When a user visits 8coupons.com, the map on the homepage will automatically populate the Top 8 most popular deals based on his or her IP address. This ensures that anyone who visits the site will see the deals that are most relevant to them specifically. The Top 8 deals will change dynamically as the user moves the map around to different locations, zooms in on a specific street, or narrows down the deals by sub-categories such as restaurants, entertainment, beauty & spas, services and shopping.
More Deals: The deals on 8coupons.com now come from several different sources.
· Exclusive Mobile Coupons – Since launching in 2007, 8coupons.com has offered a self-service mobile coupon platform for small-businesses in New York City. The platform is now available nationwide, and to celebrate, 8coupons is offering an opportunity for any business to try the service free for 100 days (an $888 value!). Businesses can sign up here and use the promo code “MobileCoupons” at checkout to receive a credit of $888.
· User Submitted Deals - Consumers can use this form to tell everyone about the specials at their local bar or their local sandwich shop (or accountant, or dentist, etc…). To date, there have been over 100,000 user shared deals on 8coupons.com.
· Sponsored listings - 8coupons.com has partnered with Valpak, Money Mailer, and RedPlum’s SuperCoups as well as with several local bloggers and content partners to add over 50,000 local deals across the country.
The current economy and heightened demand for deals has sparked the entire industry, but 8coupons.com specifically is the fastest growing deals site on the Internet. Over the past year, and according to Google Analytics, traffic has grown 869% resulting in 770,345 unique visitors in November, 2009.
