local focus
Every market we enter gets real attention. We grow with purpose.
Most local businesses spend their entire marketing budget on the hope of getting someone through the door. A mailer here. A boosted post there. A coupon booklet that gets lost in the mail or thrown away before it hits the table. They pay before the customer exists, and if that customer never shows, the money is just gone.
Meanwhile, eCommerce figured this out years ago. Promotions and deals aren't a sign of desperation. They're a lever. A 20% off offer at the right moment doesn't just attract customers, it makes them act. That's a fundamentally different approach to acquisition: instead of broadcasting and hoping, you're giving people a specific reason to choose you right now.
Local businesses deserve that same lever. But the cost of customer acquisition keeps climbing. Driven by ad platform inflation, print rate increases, and a general squeeze on every fixed cost a small business carries. When your cost to get one new customer eats into what you'd make from three, something is broken.
Local Coupons flips the model. One flat monthly fee. No per-click charges. No per-piece printing costs. You set the offer, you control the terms, and customers come to you because they actually want what you're selling, not because an algorithm showed them your ad while they were scrolling.
Clint Libby started Local Coupons after watching his mother clip coupons to make ends meet during a family bankruptcy.
Growing up, money was tight. His mother planned every dollar, sorted through stacks of junk mail, and carefully stretched what little they had. He never forgot what it felt like to need a deal just to get through the week.
Years later, Clint spent his career testing ad spend across hundreds of channels for local businesses. He saw how expensive, unpredictable, and wasteful most marketing had become — for businesses and customers alike.
Finally, he had the right experience to build something different.
He transformed from someone who understood the pain into an operator with the skills to solve it. Local Coupons is the company he wishes had existed when his family needed it — and the one he knows Central Oregon businesses need now.

Mass advertising built on interruption is breaking down. Ad costs keep climbing. Print gets thrown away. Mailers go straight to recycling. These systems rely on noise and volume, not timing, not relevance, and not the moment someone is actually deciding where to spend.
Local Coupons puts real offers from real businesses in front of customers at the exact moment they're choosing where to eat, shop, or book services nearby. Not before. Not after. At the decision point.
Connecting people with the best local deals. Save money. Support local. Repeat.
