There's a new way to get discounts on products and services from Louisville businesses. Try It Local is a new website that functions like Groupon; however, Try It Local was built by locals for locals, so, unlike Groupon, all of the deals are for local businesses.
I subscribed to Try It Local's email list last Friday, and so far I've been notified of three discounts that all sound pretty good: $99 teeth whitening at Mortenson Family Dental, $4 beverage and pastry combo at Java Brewing Co., and $30 one-hour massage from Highlands Center for Therapeutic Massage. Though I'm not particularly interested in any of these deals, I'm excited to know I'll be notified when something I am interested in is posted.

Awesome. I’m checking it out now. I always have good discounts to offer customers.
As a consumer, I was looking at this from the consumer’s perspective; I didn’t think about the fact that it’s a great service for local business owners as well. If you have time, let us know how the process goes to give other business owners an idea of what to expect.
Hi Jessica -
Also check out http://www.LouisvilleBestDeals.com, a locally owned website offering advertising to small businesses, restaurants, attractions, etc. – now 6 years old! And not just a one day “quick sale” – we truly promote our clients and the opportunity for customers to buy a discounted gift certificate, BOGO tickets, etc. Thanks, Emilie
