Couponing 101: How to Get Coupons for the Brands and Products You Already Love and Use

Couponing 101: How to Get Coupons for the Brands and Products You Already Love and Use

Just a quick tip – which some of you may already know.

1.Take a look thru your pantry and on your grocery list for the items you use the most or maybe those you just never seem to find coupons for.
...
2.Look up the company online and send them an email via their “contact us” page.

3.Make sure you always leave your mailing address in all the emails you send – even if they don’t ask you for it. Leave it at the end of your letter as a “signature”!

I’ve found that EVERY single email I have ever sent is responded to both via email AND snail mail. Usually the email response is bland and generic (usually just a thank you for contacting us), but the snail mail response has ALWAYS come with a coupon or two. Some are high value and some are even for free products!

What do I write? What do they send?

Write a short note of praise. Many people make the mistake of thinking that a complaint will get them some sort of compensation. They couldn’t be more wrong!!! Companies and brands just LOVE hearing POSITIVE feedback about their products from you!!

A great couponing project for you to do is to set up a spreadsheet and make it a goal to send out 5 emails a day to various companies.

If this is something that interests you, I would be happy to start up a “Coupon A Day” series with suggestions and links to brands/companies to write to each day and we can all do it together!
