JeffcoCoupons.com offers free printable coupons for locally-owned businesses and donates 5% of all revenue to Jeffco Schools. Launched this past October, the site aims to bring together thoughtful consumers, small businesses on a budget, and under-funded schools. Visitors will find nearly 90 coupons in a variety of categories, from restaurants to boutique shopping. The site is completely free and does not require any registration. Unlike a daily deal site, coupons are always available, giving consumers a true local source for coupons-on-demand.
 For a limited time, businesses can advertise on JeffcoCoupons.com for just $125 for an entire year, which includes all of the ad design and construction. Advertisers receive quarterly reports detailing all of the site's web traffic, which has grown to exceed 2,000 visitors each month. By also monitoring coupon redemptions, businesses can have an exact metric for the effectiveness of their advertising dollar. As JeffcoCoupons.com founder Adam Mueller puts it, "Every day I speak with business owners who are unhappy with traditional advertising options. My goal is to fill that gap with an affordable, sustainable, effective program."
 For Mueller, it began with a desire to strengthen his hometown community. "A strong community needs two crucial pillars- a vibrant economy and a quality school system. With JeffcoCoupons.com, I wanted to connect customers with locally-owned businesses. Most people want to support local owners and keep their money in the community, but now they have a strong incentive to do so."
 Mueller promotes the site in a variety of ways, from school flyers and paid Google ads to neighborhood doorhangers and street-corner sign-holding. He summarizes, "Everyone can be an advertiser, a coupon user, or both! You can save money while supporting the local economy and schools. If everyone benefits, the community wins."
