ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Valpak, a leader in local print and digital coupons, announced today that Joe DeJesus has acquired Valpak of Greater Brooklyn. DeJesus plans to mail his first Blue Envelope of savings in May to approximately 228,000 households across communities including Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Prospect Heights and Williamsburg.

DeJesus is a lifelong resident of Brooklyn, spending most of his life in the Park Slope area. He has more than 25 years of experience in business and marketing and received his MBA from Pace University. Prior to franchise ownership, DeJesus was a marketing executive with Verizon and has also worked in similar positions for companies such as Cablevision, Chase and Avis Car Rental launching large scale marketing campaigns.

"Valpak was a natural fit with my past experience of working with small- and medium-sized businesses to meet their marketing needs," said DeJesus. "I can tell you firsthand that Valpak works because over the years I have leveraged these mailings and was impressed with the results. Now that I'm a Valpak franchise owner, I'm excited to share this effective media with businesses in an area where I grew up. I know the people and businesses in Brooklyn and that will allow me to work with them in a relevant and meaningful way."

A leader in cooperative direct mail, Valpak mails coupons to nearly 39 million demographically targeted households per month in 45 states and four Canadian provinces. In addition to its Blue Envelope, Valpak offers its business customers an impressive portfolio of digital advertising products including valpak.com, Smartphone apps, Google partnerships, website development, mobile web optimization, and reputation management.
