COUPONS, INC. HIRES JON SCHWARTZ, FORMER YAHOO! VICE PRESIDENT OF SALES

Schwartz Joins Coupons, Inc. Team as Vice President of Sales as Company Expands

Mountain View, Calif. – January 10, 2007 – Coupons, Inc., the leading U.S. provider of printable coupon marketing and technology solutions, has named Jon Schwartz as its new Vice President of Sales. Mr. Schwartz, former vice president of sales at Yahoo!, will now lead Coupons, Inc.’s efforts as the company continues to drive the shift to online coupon programs.

Coupons, Inc. currently enables more than 99% of coupon offerings online and works with over 400 top brands in the consumer package goods (CPGs), healthcare, electronics, retail and entertainment industries. The company has experienced 400% year-over-year growth and recently cemented its role as one of the major players in the coupon industry through the acquisition of J Michels Consulting, broadening its reach into retailer services.

“As a result of our phenomenal growth, we are able to attract the industry’s top talent,” said Coupons, Inc. Founder and CEO Steven R. Boal. “Jon Schwartz is a well known player in this market and comes to us with an impressive track record of successful sales efforts at Yahoo!. As we expand our service and grow our media network, we look forward to the results that he will achieve as part of Coupons, Inc.”

Before joining Coupons, Inc., Schwartz was responsible for Yahoo’s central, western, then international regions. He joined Yahoo! in 2000 after 13 years in media sales and sales management, including director of sales at Clear Channel Communications in Dallas.

“As Yahoo! helped move ad revenue online, Coupons Inc. is already leading the promotional shift from newspapers to the Web. The existing network has already attracted top brands, from CPG leaders like Kraft, General Mills, and Kimberley Clark to Pfizer in healthcare and Disney in entertainment,” said Jon Schwartz. “The company’s growing offerings of coupon technology are rapidly expanding its media network. We’re at a similar crossroad in the industry to where I started at Yahoo! and I look forward to helping both new and existing customers maximize promotional opportunities through Coupons, Inc.’s growing set of measurable marketing solutions.”
