Online coupon provider NextCoupons.com now gives the power to shoppers and retailers to post and share their own coupons. This gives retailers direct access to the sites visiting deal hunters, while providing shoppers a social networking type platform to spread valuable coupons amongst the masses. Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) July 22, 2009 — Coupon aggregator NextCoupons.com announced the release of the Post-It-Yourself technology giving both retailers and consumers the ability to post coupons, and spread the offers virally through the site integration into social networking outlets.
Couponing has emerged as a fast and effective way for online retailers to stimulate interest in products and services. However, despite advances in recent years, the online coupon marketplace remains fragmented and inefficient, and retailers often require the use of affiliate networks to spread coupons without having direct integration into various online couponing sites.
NextCoupon’s Post-It-Yourself technology attempts to gives retailers direct access to the sites coupon inventory by allowing them to post their own coupons and coupon codes. This process includes creating a retailer account, where the advertiser can infuse their own identity complete with a brand logo, company description and targeted keywords. After account approval the retailer can log on anytime to post new coupons, delete expired coupons, and even view statistics on previously posted coupons. NextCoupons also allows the retailer to tweet the coupon to the sites Twitter account, which is followed by hundreds of deal hunters.
In addition to retailer accounts, NextCoupons also allows shoppers to create an account on the site. This allows them to log in and share offers with the rest of the sites visiting deal hunters, while also post coupons to the NextCoupons Twitter Feed. Site visitors can also view the profile pages of their favorite coupon-posting shoppers, complete with a profile photo if the shopper has chosen to upload one, and a list of their recently posted coupons.
NextCoupons takes very seriously the responsibility of guarding every advertiser’s image and brand integrity. Every uploaded coupon is manually reviewed and approved before posting on NextCoupons.com.
These coupons are in addition to the several thousand coupons that NextCoupons has already aggregated from a variety of premier advertisers and affiliate programs. Currently the site is offering coupons from over 500 retailers, which is expected to grow quickly with the announcement of this new opportunity for advertisers. NextCoupons continues to develop innovative methods of coupon delivery including the recent launch of an iPhone formatted site, social networking integration with Twitter and Facebook feeds, and browser integration with a Firefox Toolbar.
