8coupons is a New York-based deal aggregator website that distributes deal updates and digital coupons to consumers based on weekly deals, customized online feeds, or the user's current location.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Originally the website focused on the local New York City metropolitan area, until 2009 when the company announced a series of content partnerships and new features for user-submitted deals that armed the website with 200,000 coupons across the country.[1][2][5][7][8] Content partners include Valpak and Money Mailer and local bloggers across the country. In Feb, 2010, the company also began to aggregate from collective buying websites including Groupon, LivingSocial, Plum district, Adility Deal, Town Hog, Half Off Depot and others.
8coupon's syndicated promotions can be redeemed on the sites of their affiliate partners or at the merchant using a cell phone.[5][9][10]
The company is themed with the number eight. 8coupons celebrates their anniversary on the 8th day of the 8th month, they have lists of the top eight deals, and their "OCHO LOCO" deals are all themed with the number eight. For example, the website has had 88 cent whiskey drinks, eight-cent falafels, and 88 cent burgers on the eighth day of every month.[7][11][12][13][14]
