Start-up Company Seeks to Innovate the Group Couponing Experience by Offering 0% Transaction Fee to Local Maryland Merchants

    HANOVER, MD, September 25, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- LocateBaltimore.com, a small-business start-up, provides a unique way to enhance the group coupon experience. The company offers local discounts to consumers while allowing merchants to advertise using a monthly, pay-as-you-go platform.

Company officials say the new approach will help foster repeat business for local communities in Baltimore. "Our goal is provide local deals which are truly local," Trevian Mathis, president and CEO of the Baltimore-based company explains. Gone are the days of having to travel 20 minutes or more to find great deals.

Locate Baltimore's Zero Transaction fee policy will be especially enticing to merchants. The company offers merchants a chance to sell their products without incurring exorbitant costs. The only fee merchants will incur will be that of the reasonable advertising pay scale, all of which will be charged on a month-to-month basis.

"This is arguably one of the most unique developments in group sites; one which brings in a very bright future for marketing businesses in local areas," adds Frank Turner, Jr., who leads the research and development department.

In the perspective of local merchants, the website offers deals which are hyper- localized with a wide access of Baltimore's market. Advertising with Locate Baltimore is an ideal way for merchants to acquire customer loyalty. The marketing approach taken by the company is pro-community. In other words it gives locals, both merchants and consumers, a chance to earn and benefit from its innovative edge. Locate Baltimore offers a product-driven marketing strategy that is not only cost-effective, but also allows businesses to develop their local consumer base using easy to use marketing tools.

Locate Baltimore launched on September 1, 2012. Sales associates are now registering merchants in and around Annapolis, Baltimore, Columbia, Glen Burnie, Laurel, Ocean City, Owing Mills and Towson.

For a limited time, all merchants will be offered one month of FREE advertisement per monthly deal package purchased.
