New Discount Coupon Aggregation Site DealLocker.com Promises to Save You Cash
Part shopper, part geek, all penny-wise. All of us here at deal locker really truely love the rush of getting a great deal. Even more we love to help our friends do the same. Deal Locker is in its infancy, but is focused on building a suite of tools designed to help you and your friends save money. Says DealLocker.com.
Donna Fuscaldo of Fox Business writes about an entrepreneur turning his frustrations with Internet coupons into a business plan for a new Web site.
His plan turned into DealLocker.com, where users are told to type in a merchants’ name to find all the coupons associated with that retailer. You can also browse through different categories, giving you potentially more opportunities to save, the site boasts.
“The idea behind the Web site is a really easy place to find coupons to stores,’’ said Jonathan Lieberman, founder and chief executive of deallocker.com.
Deallocker.com was born out of Lieberman’s aggravation sparked by Internet coupons. Lieberman, a former Internet marketer, would spend hours paging through websites trying to find those ever elusive coupons.
“You’d get to that checkout page and the empty coupon box would mock you,’’ said Lieberman. “I was so frustrated that I never had that secret code.”
DealLocker.com, which went live in August, currently has 2,500 participating merchants. But consumers are encouraged to post any coupons they find on their own on the Web. All told, the website boasts about 5,000 stores with roughly 20,000 coupons being offered. Lieberman said the company sees hundreds of thousands of visitors each month. More at FoxBusiness.
