So how did it all start? Well, I will try to keep this short and sweet. In addition to ChasingSavings.Com, I am the Managing Partner of Net-Flow Solutions, which is a leading IT Consulting/Managed Services firm headquartered in Atlanta, GA. One day, I was onsite with a client that is an Asset Management firm here in Atlanta when I received an email from their head trader. In that email was a manufacturer's coupon that saved 20% off the purchase of their product. I sat back in my chair and thought, "gee, this is a great coupon." Please understand, that I am someone that has never thought about using coupons in my life. However, on a $200 product, that is $40 off and in this economy, $40 is a good savings. Next, the entrepreneurial gears in my mind started grinding together with questions like:
- How many people would use this coupon but will never get to know about it?
- How many websites out there have coupons? - uh there are a lot, BUT... then I thought...
- How many of these sites offer coupons besides grocery stores? Not Many..
...and so the questions kept coming and the research started! After a few weeks of running numbers, looking at the competition, researching competitive pricing, and spending hours formulating a business plan in my head I felt that I was ready to start talking to people about the concept of ChasingSavings.Com.
After all the research and processing the ideas until a plan was formulated, I went to two developers that I know and sat down with them to have a discussion about starting a new company... and thus ChasingSavings.Com was born!
