CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Popular U.S.-based digital coupon community, Grocery Coupon Network, is now available on Facebook, which means dedicated users of the site can print and share coupons where they spend the majority of their time. Grocery Coupon Network?s Facebook app, a fully functioning coupon gallery, will be the first of its kind among syndicated coupon distribution channels and will offer couponers the opportunity to download coupons, ?like? their favorite deals, and ultimately share their findings with other community members or Facebook friends.

?I think the primary reason we have seen such rapid growth is that we never viewed the site as just a place to download coupons?

As daily deal sites continue to face skepticism among consumers and businesses alike, digital couponing sites that can keep up with trends are seeing rapid growth. Grocery Coupon Network, which launched in 2009, has achieved 1000% growth over the past three years. They have over 1.5 million subscribers and an active Facebook page of over 50,000 fans with a potential user-reach of 13 million.

?I think the primary reason we have seen such rapid growth is that we never viewed the site as just a place to download coupons,? remarked Jeff Hudson, Grocery Coupon Network co-founder. ?Rather, from the beginning we spent ample amounts of time focusing on the community and social aspects of couponing, looking for unique ways to engage our audience while observing the behavior of our users.?

According to Mr. Hudson, the overarching trend among users is a move away from email and onto Facebook: ?It?s up to us to move with them. Instead of driving users to our website and interrupting their day, we?ve hosted our coupon gallery on our Facebook wall.?

While other publishers can only link to external coupons from their Facebook apps, Grocery Coupon Network has engineered the app to actually allow the entire printing process to happen from inside Facebook. The user never leaves their Facebook page, and the subsequent user experience is faster, easier, and less intrusive.

The Facebook app announcement is the first of many in the near future as Grocery Coupon Network continues to innovate in an industry that may seem archaic to many.

?The reality is that our users are moms and dads who are working hard to support families, and couponing is one way they can save money and perhaps allocate it towards something they need, or perhaps even a family vacation. The Facebook app is one way we can simplify their lives and provide them with an easy solution to something they do on a regular basis.?
