Helping local businesses get more customers
Learn how we got here, what keeps us going, and why we built Local Coupons from the ground up in Central Oregon. This one's personal.

100%
local focus
Every market we enter gets real attention. We grow with purpose.
Spending to get a customer is not the same as keeping one.
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 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 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. Instead of broadcasting and hoping, you give people a specific reason to choose you right now.
When your cost to get one new customer eats into what you'd make from three, something is broken.
How Local Coupons flips the model
- One flat monthly fee, with no per-click charges and no per-piece printing costs.
- You set the offer and you control the terms, start to finish.
- Customers come because they want what you're selling, not because an algorithm interrupted their scroll.
How it started
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, turning 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.
