Money Mailer
Money Mailer hopes to bring in cash by mailing out coupons. The company, which operates through a network of franchises in more than 30 states throughout the US, distributes oversized red, white, and blue envelopes filled with coupons promoting local businesses. The goal is to help the businesses reach three main consumer segments: existing customers, people who have moved recently, and shoppers. Overall, the company's franchisees mail about 190 million envelopes annually to about 21 million households. Atlanta-based investment firm Roark Capital Group owns a controlling stake in Money Mailer, which was founded in 1979.
