Many restaurants have caught onto the idea of email lists to generate return business. These emails will give patrons information such as current specials, deals, promotional offers, coupons and new menu items.
The type of information that is collected is normally name, address, e-mail address and special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries and such. As an incentive to sign up, these businesses offer a discounted or free meal on those special occasions.
With our focus on restaurant introductions these past two weeks, I almost forgot to update the blog with the official announcement!
Where is CouponCuisine going first?
1) Oklahoma City and Edmond, Oklahoma
2) Philadelphia and Bucks County, Pennsylvania
3) Gainesville, FL also clawed its way into the mix
This week has been interesting… and somewhat intense. A fellow coupon-fanatic discovered CouponCuisine and set out to tell all of Oklahoma about our new restaurant coupon service. The results?
Over 100 members from Oklahoma joined in less than 24 hours!
The answer is yes! The biggest misconception about coupons is… 1. I never have coupons for the things I need. 2. If I use coupons I will tend to buy things I don’t need. This is so not true. Do you use shampoo? Do you use laundry detergent? How about toilet paper or hamburger meat and steaks? Imagine you could get them all free or under $1 each. I have found it’s best to cut coupons for everything including restraunts and retail stores.
Did you know that May 25 is National Wine Day? How about Lauryn Hill’s birthday? The geeks in the crowd might know that May 25 is also National Towel Day (I’m not joking).
Whatever “holiday” you celebrate next Friday, it will be a day to remember… especially if you’re in one of our Top 5 locations.
We’ve been receiving emails from people asking about the Limited Time Bonus they get for telling friends about CouponCuisine. There have also been emails from those wanting to thank us for the valuable insights provided in the bonus. I’m going to let the cat out of the knapsack because this giveaway will only be free until May 25.
Nathan couldn’t pass up the opportunity wear a Hawaiian shirt with popped collar while talking about getting free restaurant coupons.
Note that he mentions the coming of more free gifts for participating and telling friends about CouponCuisine — look for announcements at the end of this week.
