This seems like a very interesting company, it’s a tool that allows a businesses to create locally targeted coupons that customers can find online, print, and bring into the business.

Now, for the sake of full disclosure my company Local Zing Inc. is an affiliate, in other words if I do refer them business I will get paid when they eventually start charging for it in 2007. Anyway, that being said Zixxo.com is the web site and it has two purposes, a place where customers can go an find coupons for businesses in their area, and a tool for local companies to create those coupons. It’s such a great concept i find it hard to believe that no-one has done it before.

Now when people think of coupons they usually think of pizza etc. but this is a great venue for proffesional services as well because it allows you to define the critiera of your offer. Lawyers, designers, dentists, doctors, can all create coupons that can be for first time customers.

It is currently free, although it does require a 1c payment to prevent fraudulant coupons and spammers, and the company will start charging in 2007, and from what I can tell it will be based upon how many coupons are printed.
