Its the answer our users are looking for, too, since searches for coupons on Ask have shot up almost 50 percent in 2009, said Scott Garell, President, Ask Networks.Ask Deals saves consumers time and money through relevant, highquality savings built right into our unique Ask search results page. By introducing our search stimulus package with Ask Deals, we aim to lift a burden for consumers and make a meaningful impact in their lives.
