Cheap Local Deals Has New Discounts in Virginia

May 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Chesapeake, VA – Cheap Local Deals, LLP (CLD) announced this week it has several new discount coupons available on its website, especially in the Hampton Roads and Richmond areas of Virginia. CLD is expanding its services in these areas and is currently offering about 100 coupon deals in each city, with more coming soon.

The web-based coupon application offers discounts of up to 80% off at local restaurants, day spas and other area businesses. It allows consumers to spend less while still enjoying good food and finding fun things to do.

For example, the site sells $25 restaurant coupons for as low as $3. Some spa packages worth $100 cost only $25. While the concept is not new, the idea is now catching on with consumers who are trying harder to save money in a suffering economy.

“These deep discounts introduce hundreds of shoppers to local businesses that otherwise might not have gone there,” said Mike Cynar, president of Cheap Local Deals. “The huge discounts give consumers a good reason to try something or somewhere new and oftentimes the shoppers will take their savings and spend it on other products, like ice cream or auto detailing.”

The Chesapeake-based company has recently experienced an expansion in the local markets of Virginia Beach and Richmond, two of the fastest growing areas in merchant participation for the nationwide coupon site.

“The secret is that we do not sell advertising,” said Cynar. “We offer advertising to merchants with no out-of-pocket costs in exchange for the right to sell valuable coupons which will introduce hundreds of new, first-time customers to the merchant’s business.”

Each advertiser receives a free micro-site that includes business reviews, social networking feedback and other valuable marketing tools. While the customers benefit from the coupons, the merchants benefit from the opportunity to attract new customers.

“Repeat customers are crucial to the success of our clients, but you can’t retain what you never had,” said Cynar. “That’s where we come in.”
