Couponic-Powered HugeDailyDeal.com Purchased by CrowdSavings.com

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CrowdSavings.com, a Groupon clone hungry to grow, has taken ambition to a new level by acquiring a string of valuable local daily deal sites. Latest in the list of acquisitions is Buffalo, New York's HugeDailyDeal.com.

Jay Rathman, formerly President and CEO of HugeDailyDeal.com and now a member of the CrowdSavings team, cites the CrowdSavings experience as offering "the highest quality deals" among local merchants in the Buffalo area, as well as "CrowdSavings' wide array of national deals."

Sporting over 500 likes on Facebook, an Alexa rank in the top one percent and a Google Page Rank of 5 since its inception in December of 2010, HugeDailyDeal was a Groupon clone already well on its way to extraordinary success in its home market.

Additionally, HugeDailyDeal took in first-year revenue of $1.3 million and allowed local consumers to purchase more than 55,000 coupons - nearly one for every five people in Buffalo, allowing them to save over $1.3 million. With the recent launch of HugeDailyDeal's Android app, it was able to offer still more deals to an even larger customer base. This success made an acquisition by a larger company like CrowdSavings all but a sure thing.

HugeDailyDeal's success and ultimate salability came from two vital components: powerful software on the back end and Rathman's marketing savvy on the front end. With such a powerful combination, sales rose exponentially and the site was able to easily accommodate this degree of growth.
