Ohio ValleySaves.com is the first expansion site of the very successful
RichmondSaves.com, which was founded by three experienced Richmond advertising
professionals, Greg Myracle, Bruce Gunkle and John Oglesby. As the cost
of conventional advertising continued to rise, they noticed needs on both
sides of the local advertising coin. On one side, local Richmond businesses
had a minimum number of choices when it came to affordable, effective
advertising options. On the other side, Richmond area consumers had few
ways to save on local goods and services other than the traditional "wait
and see" method of mailed coupons.
Initial market research determined that consumers desired a 24-hour,
“on demand”, A thru Z source to find money saving offers
on local goods and services. The Internet, with it’s many advantages,
was the obvious solution to answering both of these needs. Thus was
the birth of RichmondSaves.com and the Saves Network.
The goal of RichmondSaves.com was to reverse the old philosophy of businesses
looking for consumers (through radio, TV, newspaper ads) and create a
new paradigm where consumers are looking for businesses. Saving them both
precious time and money in the process.
The RichmondSaves.com site was launched in December of 2002 and has quickly
grown to over 250 businesses. As the number of money saving offers grew,
so did the consumer response to this unique way to shop for all sorts
of products and services. Today, RichmondSaves.com is becoming a household
name. No more searching or digging for expired coupons, simply go online
and find local businesses in your area, find a deal, print and save! |
