Help Bargain Hunters Find Your Online Store by Posting a Coupon Code

by James Voss Grumish

The opportunity to make a discounted purchase is a strong attraction for a potential customer. With Webplus Shop, your online business can utilize coupons as marketing tools just like the paper coupons that arrive in your mailbox and newspapers. By distributing online coupons to specific places on the web, your coupon based marketing will cost very little, yet still have the potential to reach more people than a typical mass mailing campaign.

Creating a coupon in Webplus Shop takes two steps.

  1. Create a promotion in the Marketing > Promotions area by clicking the Add New Promotion button. Enter the settings for your new promotion and make sure that you change the Require the Customer to Enter a Coupon Code setting to “Yes” and save your changes. (If this is your first promotion, click the Help button in the upper-right of the Promotions screen to learn more about how promotions work.)
  2. Create a Coupon Code in the Marketing > Coupons area by clicking the Add New Coupon button. The customer will need to enter the Coupon Code to redeem the offer, so make it easy-to-use; one word and all uppercase (no spaces!). Set the Coupon Reusability to “Indefinately” so that many customers can use the same coupon. Set the Promotion to the one you just created in step one and save your changes. That’s it! You’re done!

Now that you have a Coupon Code that’s ready for customers to use, you need to let people know about it. Luckily there’s plenty of bargain hunters online and lots of coupon sharing websites that cater directly to them. Below you’ll find a few links to get you started. Simply fill out the form with your Coupon Code information to let people know about your store’s promotion.

There’s plenty of other coupon sharing websites available besides those listed above. Unfortunately, many of these are affiliate marketing sites that only offer coupons from select stores instead of using simple Submit Coupon forms. Fortunately though, many of these affiliate coupon sites have Message Boards or Forums that you can post your coupon to. Look around on their homepage for a Message Board or Fourm link/button, sign-up, and start posting your Coupon Code.

    Ok. I have a great coupon code for my online store. It is $50 off any $100 or more purchase. The coupon code is fabric. (Good Black Friday through Cyber Monday). However, I am disappointed that a lot of coupon code websites dont have a submission tool. I noticed they pull from commission websites. Do you know what commission websites they pull the coupons from?
