Using Coupons to Launch New Arrivals

On: 27 Dec 2012, by: Justin

It is a fact that coupons are a great way for helping businesses boost their traffic and profits. They are also a great tool when it comes to launching a new product or service. When a business is launching a new product or service, there are two things you will want to generate quickly:

  • Sales
  • Word of mouth advertising

This type of advertising is invaluable to any business since it’s free, and people are more likely to listen to reviews and recommendations from friends than from any other source.

myDealCompass can help you launch a new product using digital coupons. Our members will have access to your coupon, and since we use digital technology rather than paper, news of their availability will travel quickly throughout social media sites. This method of word-of-mouth advertising is quickly becoming extremely beneficial for businesses.

For an additional “oomph” for your new product launch you can have your coupon listed as a Featured Deal. The coupon will appear on our front page map with a pin highlighting your exact location. This helps your coupon stand out from all of the other coupons listed. By standing out from the rest, a featured deal is more likely to be downloaded and shared by our members.

It is simple to see that creating a digital coupon for a product launch is a smart move, and making that advertised savings a featured deal is even smarter. You can easily gain visibility, which will increase your traffic and your profits.

The Local Deal Advantage

On: 09 Jan 2013, by: Justin

Group deals have become quite popular in recent years, bringing savings and consumers together.  For some businesses, they do make sense and can be popular. However, for the majority of businesses, local deals offer much better value for both the consumers and the business.

A group deal is best used for those businesses who target young, educated, above-average-income single female consumers. Statistics are showing that they are the biggest users of group deals. For most businesses, that is a very tight niche market and not reflective of the general population. Mothers make up the biggest portion of users  when it comes to using coupons in general.

Mothers are reported to be the biggest influences when it comes to shopping in general even for products such as men’s clothing and personal hygiene products. Some mothers still influence their children’s shopping years after they have left home. This means that they are the largest group to target when it comes to general advertising.

Local deals can be targeted to any group. From a consumer’s perspective, there is no upfront cost, one of the downsides to a group deal. Businesses also do not benefit much with group deals.  As a business, you will also have to wait to receive payment from the organization selling the group deal. This has a serious impact on cash flow, especially if your offer becomes popular. However, with the local deals offered at myDealCompass, there is no waiting involved.

When looking at local deals, you can target a specific group, offer deals that are affordable, and you will have far better control of cost. With a local deal offered through myDealCompass, you can limit the duration of the deal and modify or stop the deal at any time. You can also add new deals whenever the need arises, all for a low fixed monthly cost. Local deals are definitely an advantage when you consider the bottom line.
