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.

There is no doubt that businesses strive to have items that are hot and trending now with their customers. However, gaining this status is the challenge. In order for you to create a trend you must offer a definite advantage that is appealing to mass groups of people. Digital coupons have gained this status, and they are quickly gaining steam as more and more businesses and consumers catch on.

Digital coupons offer far more advantages than their traditional paper counterparts. In fact, they are so popular that businesses are offering them in record numbers. Some of the advantages they offer for businesses include:

  • The ability to reach large numbers of people for a fraction of the cost of paper coupons
  • Easy to create and change the information or savings at a moment’s notice
  • Easy distribution through email lists or coupon sites such as myDealCompass

However, businesses are not the only ones who benefit from this innovative method of savings. As a consumer you will also have appealing benefits, which include:

  • The ability to search and access savings while on the go, on your mobile device
  • The ability to claim the digital coupons for free, no matter how many you use
  • The ability to save on hundreds of purchases, each and every day, with new and unique businesses adding savings all the time

myDealCompass has created an easy to use platform that makes saving money both easy and fun. Digital coupons are saving hundreds of consumers money and creating new revenue for participating businesses.

Understanding the Concept of a Hot Deal

On: 03 Jan 2013, by: Justin

myDealCompass is continually trying to improve our platform by listening to the consumers and businesses who utilize it on a regular basis.  As more and more businesses sign up, a question that is heard again and again is how to stand out from the crowd. One option is with the featured deal spot. This costs a low fee and provides you with additional visibility for your digital coupon.  However, now you can take advantage of the Hot Deal and gain even more visibility for your business. If you head on over to the easy-to-use DealMap, you might see some of your local businesses flagged as Hot Deals.

So, your question may now be, “How does it work?” Put simply, a deal is marked ‘hot’ when it receives a large amount of interest from consumers.

The popularity of a deal is known by the number of views it receives as well as the number of times it is redeemed. The more your savings receives, the more likely it is to be flagged as a hot deal and receive a noticeable flashy red icon on the DealMap. The key to getting it all started and finding yourself on the way to a hot deal is by offering a compelling deal that you think people would be interested in!

If you want to be included in this popular trend, offer unbeatable savings that your customers will not be able to pass up. There is no doubt that myDealCompass delivers results, now you have even more ways to increase your visibility.

The Appeal of Local Savings

On: 01 Jan 2013, by: Justin

If you seek out daily deals on the popular savings websites, you are likely to have noticed the same digital coupon or savings over and over again. Of course, you will run into a new deal every once in a while. However, they are usually few and far between. This is mainly because the coupons site controls the savings, not the businesses.

myDealCompass provides a completely different approach for both businesses and consumers. It allows you to choose from a plethora of local deals, from a wide variety of different businesses. Additionally, if you join myDealCompass, you can send a message to local businesses and ask them to offer a coupon or savings on the site. The deals that are found on the myDealCompass DealMap do not expire until the business dictates. This means that you can actually use the savings over and over again and share the savings with family and friends, who can also use the savings.

myDealCompass divides the local savings into easy to sort categories, however, deal seekers do not have to use this filter. You can ask any sort of business to join. Then, new, more appropriate categories will be added. This is just another way that myDealCompass adapts to meet its users’ needs. The simple fact is that a large variety keeps deal seekers coming back to the site, and it gives businesses a larger customer base for a very small, affordable fee. Deal seekers are not charged for using myDealCompass. Additionally, all the savings can be accessed through your smartphones for easy, on-the-go usability.
