We initially covered NYC-based coupon service 8coupons earlier this year when they launched their local coupon offering. Their “Money Map” shows deals on a Google Map so you can find deals in whatever location you would like. You can also see the top 8 deals in a city and national deals as well. In NYC the top deals come from Applebees, Starbucks, SuperMac, etc. 8coupons reports about 800,000 unique visitors for November.
Today the company has announced that the 8coupons service is available nationwide. The money map will now automatically detect your location and show you deals closest to you. Users can contribute deals they find (similar to Postabon which we covered last week) and 8coupons notes they will also run mobile-exclusive deals as well.
In terms of monetization, 8coupons notes, “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.” It looks like a lot of the coupons are online versions of the local coupons we receive in bundles in the mail.
