Coupon Website Increases revenue for Merchants, saves money for Searchers and Creates professional experience and revenue for College/University Student Groups…

Over the past decades, online marketing has increased exponentially in popularity. In the past year, social media marketing has doubled in percentage in all businesses, from 12% to 24%. Last year, 97% of all consumers used the Internet to research and purchase products online. More than 1.5 million local businesses have Facebook Pages activate to market their products.

As the usage of online sources for marketing booms, the consumer reception of these online endeavors responds positively. The fatal downfall of online marketing, however, is the overwhelming expenses to successfully execute this type of campaign. Search engines have proven to be the number one source of Internet traffic in the past five years. Business owners understand that optimal online marketing partly relies on their website’s search rank on these sites; search engine optimization will bring a business better online traffic and consequentially a higher revenue inflow. Furthermore, business owners know that paying a search engine optimizer is the most cost-efficient method of optimizing their website, but these prices average at $500 dollars for an initial down payment, plus frequent subsequent payments for search engine site maintenance for a total of over $1,500 dollars annually.

Other forms of online marketing only add to this expense. Facebook ads cost a whopping $0.70 per click. Temporary Yahoo! banner ads can cost up to $100 dollars per day. In total, businesses in the US will spend well over $10 billion dollars in 2011 on online advertising.
