History
The Savings.com domain was purchased in 2003 by a founder of the affiliate marketing company Commission Junction, Inc. The savings.com domain sold for $1.9 million and ranks among the top 40 most expensive domains ever sold. The company originally functioned as a lead generation resource in 2004. Savings.com relaunched in its present-day form in 2007, founded by Loren Bendele, Marcus Flemming, Tom Kuljis and Joe Zulli, and made the move to exclusively offer online and offline coupons. Savings.com announced in November 2008 that it closed $4 million in series B funding led by U.S. Venture Partners.
In 2009, Savings.com launched a sister site branded as Savoo.co.uk to serve the voucher code market in the United Kingdom. In 2012, Savoo expanded operations to Germany. Currently, Savoo serves 11 markets, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Ireland, and Austria.
In June 2012, Cox Target Media announced the acquisition of Savings.com, Savoo.co.uk and Savoo.de for more than $100 million with additional payments over the coming years.
Savings.com expanded into grocery in October 2013, launching Favado, a mobile grocery savings app. In 2015, Savings.com partnered with the technology company Inmar, Inc. to expand its ability to promote consumer packaged goods (CPG) offers.
In November 2014, Savings.com released PriceJump, a price comparison tool.
