2. Newspaper sells these certificates with a discount to readers through Cool Savingz.
3. Happy readers save money and go to the merchant to buy goods or services.
4. Merchant gains new customers who saw the ad in the newspaper and other customers who want to use their new certificates.
5. Newspaper keeps the revenue from the certificate sales and from banner advertising.
