Readers of the Niagara Falls Reporter may have noticed an advertiser on our cover, a banner lusciously laid out across the bottom of the cover page, with an intelligent looking man with an honest face endorsing it.
 The banner is for FinditQuick.
 Founded more than ten years ago by Ron Halleen Jr. of Niagara Falls , the company was born out of his online efforts to promote his father’s business, Halleens Automotive on Military Rd. in the town of Niagara .
 In time, Mr. Halleen modified an internet coupon buying concept to emphasize local businesses and with the intent to generally avoid the vanilla and often uninspiring coupon offers of the national chains.
 This is about local businesses and the deals they offer.
 If one subscribes, a simple enough task, found in your email each day is information about a “daily deal,” each one an offer to purchase a coupon redeemable at a local business with a guaranteed minimum 50 percent savings off what regular customers pay. To subscribe, it is free.
A subscriber only purchases the coupons he wants.
 Recently, I found in my email box a chance to purchase a $15 coupon at Old Man River in North Tonawanda for $7.50.
 I paid $7.50 online with my credit card, printed out the coupon and bought $15 worth of food off the menu at the lovely riverside restaurant: six hot dogs instead of the usual three.
 Another day, a coupon costing $7 bought $15 at Mikes’ Subs in Kenmore .
 On another day comes another email. This time a $50 coupon that buys $107 worth of range shooting at Niagara Gun Range .
Better Smile in East Amherst offered a $242 coupon for $50 for new patients. United Auto in Niagara Falls offered $5 car inspections. It’s normally $21. Rapids Bowling Center offered $50 worth of bowling for $15. I haven’t bowled in years, but at that price, why not?
Wagner’s Farm Market and Grill offered a coupon for $10 that permits the bearer to buy $20 of market products. I’m saving that one for my next trip to Sanborn. 
DJ the Dee Jay Limousine Service: $150 for the $300 service of a six hour night on the town in a limo. Now I just have to choose which of many suitors I want to go with to the prom.
Every day there is a new deal and never any obligation to buy. You don’t have to use the coupon that day either. Most offers last 30 to 60 days. 
To subscribe, you don’t need a credit card or even prove you have the ability to buy a single coupon ever.
 Half the fun is the surprise of opening your email to see what local businesses are offering what discounts.
 Ryan Pritchard is in charge of marketing for the company. He told the Reporter about opportunities for local businesses to use FinditQuick to offer coupons without incurring any printing expenses.
“Businesses looking for new customers can take advantage of FinditQuick’s large subscriber base,” he said.
 Besides email, FinditQuick markets “daily deals” on Facebook, Twitter, a newsletter, a business profile page, banner ads, text ads, Widget ads and more. 
“For advertisers, this lets them take advantage of a large network of subscribers and publishers to reach out to discretionary spenders, young urbanites and other target audiences,” said Mr. Pritchard. “Advertisers appreciate the fact that FinditQuick commission fees are among the lowest in the industry. Once a deal is featured and a buyer buys and prints out the coupon, we send the advertiser a check.”
FinditQuick is located at 8962 Porter Road in Niagara Falls , NY .
