Local.com is partnering with Valpak, a coupon and direct marketing provider, to distribute local business offers throughout the Local.com network.

Valpak coupons will appear on search results and profile pages of the Local.com site and network of over 700 regional media sites. Local.com users now have direct access to Valpak savings and discounts and can print coupons for redemption at local businesses nationwide.

According to recent industry forecasts, 38 million consumers in the U.S. now access printable coupons online. Simmons Market Research Bureau estimates that nearly eight out of 10 printable coupon users said the Internet was one of the main places they went for coupons.--Tanya Irwin
