    In challenging economic times, coupon use has grown dramatically. As tight budgets endure, consumers continue to aggressively seek out savings opportunities and Valpak, one of the leading direct marketing companies in North America, is helping by empowering them to save anytime, anywhere.

    More than 10 million digital coupons were redeemed in the first half of 2009, up 25 percent from the previous year. Those of the mobile variety are increasingly in demand as consumers try them and realize how easy they are to use.

    With this in mind, Valpak announced today that it has added to its portfolio the availability of a new app for the Android platform. This follows the Valpak apps recently launched for the iPhone™ iPod touch®, as well as for smartphones running the Palm® Pre™ platform. In March, the company will offer an app for the Blackberry®, making mobile couponing through Valpak possible for the vast majority of smartphone users.

    Valpak delivers more than 17,000 offers through the mobile couponing app platform, the same as those available on Valpak.com.
