June 22, 2009 - Mountain View, Calif. - Coupons.com today announced that in just over five months the savings printed on its digital coupon network in 2009 surpassed the $313 million in value printed in all of 2008. During this period, the value of savings printed increased 212 percent compared to the same period last year.

"We're seeing increased momentum in all aspects of our business," said Steven Boal, CEO of Coupons.com. "Consumers are adopting digital coupons in droves as they search for savings, and more leading brands are turning to digital coupons to build relationships with those consumers. We see no signs of a slowdown and are targeting to print approximately $1 billion in savings by the end of the year."

Increased interest in digital coupons by both brands and consumers is converging to drive unprecedented growth. Companies that already utilize digital coupons are using them more often, while more companies are discovering digital coupons to promote their products for the first time.

"We've been very pleased with the success of our digital coupon campaigns and have been steadily moving more and more of our couponing budget out of the newspaper and onto digital delivery," said Karl Schmidt, director of promotion marketing at General Mills. "Digital's reach and distribution has grown to the point where it is approaching that of newspaper inserts."

More than 40 million people currently print online coupons, according to Simmons Market Research Bureau, and continued consumer adoption is being driven by many factors. The tough economic environment is one factor, but experts say that users expect to continue their current saving behavior in the future-even in good economic times. Other factors include:

• Convenience. People like the ability to browse and print coupons at their convenience, day or night.
• Continued increase in the number of people with Internet access and comfort with online content. Much like the increase in adoption of online magazines and blogs for news, people are extending that comfort to other types of content, including coupons.
• Newspapers are declining in circulation and, in some areas, are struggling to survive. People are looking for alternative ways to get coupons instead of the traditional inserts in newspapers. The number of people that only print coupons from the Internet and never use newspaper coupons rose a dramatic 46 percent to six million Americans in 2008 compared to 2007.
• Internet coupons are attracting a new demographic of coupon users that does not subscribe to the newspaper, let alone clip coupons. Through the Coupons.com Web site, Twitter feed and Facebook application, a whole new generation of people is discovering coupons for the first time. Coupons.com plans to introduce new ways to deliver coupons in the coming months including in-store, in-home and mobile devices to further penetrate this new group of coupon users.

Today, Coupons.com is the No. 44 largest U.S. Web property with 17.2 million unique monthly visitors and is the No. 1 site on the Internet for Coupons/Rewards, according to Nielsen NetRatings. The Coupons.com publisher network reaches more than 75 million consumers through thousands of Web sites, including Coupons.com and shoppers' favorite name brand Web sites and grocery and drug store sites.
