- PETERSBURG, Fla. –Valpak, a leader in local print and digital coupons, announced Thursday that Aaron Beatty has acquired Valpak of Tri County Pennsylvania, a territory that has been serving local businesses and residents since 2013.
Beatty plans to mail his first Valpak Blue Envelope in August to approximately 30,000 households in Clearfield, Jefferson and Elk counties, which includes the areas of DuBois, Clearfield, Brookville, Punxsutawney, St. Marys and Ridgway.
Having previously served as the director of marketing for Beatty Restaurant Enterprises Inc., and LiJo Inc., franchise groups of McDonald’s in the DuBois area, Beatty will bring more than 17 years of strategic media and marketing experience.
In fact, during his time in this role, Beatty was one the first customers to mail with the Valpak of Tri County when it opened in 2013, and quickly became friends with its previous owners, Ted and Yvonne Rosselli.
Currently, Beatty serves as president and owner of Galaxias Properties LLC, a property management company within the Tri-County area.
“Having previously been a customer of the Valpak of Tri County for the last four years, along with my marketing background, I naturally gravitated toward the Valpak business model,” said Beatty.
“Now as a Valpak franchise owner, I look forward to working side-by-side with other businesses throughout the Tri County area to leverage the brand’s full suite of effective media and advertising services.”
A leader in cooperative direct mail, Valpak mails coupons to nearly 37 million demographically targeted households per month in 47 states and three Canadian provinces.
In addition to its flagship Blue Envelope, Valpak offers its business customers an impressive portfolio of digital advertising products including valpak.com, Smartphone apps, Google partnerships, Web site development, mobile web optimization and reputation management.
“Aaron brings with him a unique perspective as both a former Valpak customer, and now business owner, making him the perfect candidate to assume ownership of the Tri County territory,” said Shak Turner, director of franchise sales for Valpak.
“From a franchising standpoint, Aaron has come full circle and we’re excited for him to apply his many years in the marketing industry to his new business venture.”
With more than 25 million Americans using couponing apps each month, Valpak’s digital offerings have been a big draw for new franchisees.
Digital coupon use is on the rise, and ample gains are projected in 2017. In the past year, Valpak’s print offerings have also expanded with on-envelope advertising and circulars.
