Austin, TX, February 13, 2013, RetailMeNot (www.retailmenot.com), the most widely used online coupon site in the United States, announced today that it crossed the 1 billion visits threshold since the site launched in late 2006.

Cotter Cunningham, CEO & Founder of WhaleShark Media, Inc., the operator of RetailMeNot, issued the following statement:

“We want to take a moment to recognize this important event in the timeline of our history and thank all the consumers who visited RetailMeNot over the years.   Shoppers have trusted RetailMeNot since the site was founded in late 2006 to help them save money while they buy the items and services they need and want.   We remain more committed than ever to finding new ways to help consumers keep more money in their pockets.

Just as important, we appreciate the partnership of the thousands of retailers who work with our company to reach out to shoppers through RetailMeNot to increase their sales and generate repeat visits.

With hundreds of thousands of online coupons, deals and offers in our database, we look forward to breaking new ground in the years to come as we help retailers grow their in-store sales through our printable coupons and mobile app technology just as we’ve helped them increase business via their e-commerce channels. 

With more than 3 million downloads of the RetailMeNot Coupons app (www.retailmenot.com/mobile), more consumers than ever are incentivized to make a purchase in-store when they access compelling offers on their smart phones.
