Emailing Companies For Coupons

I hadn’t even thought of this concept prior to today! This tip is exciting for everyone out there looking to use coupons to save money.

Pick Your Favorite Brands

Go through your cupboards and write down the names of the producer of your favorite brands. Sometimes it’s obvious and on other items its not. So look carefully.

Make Your List
Once you have your list of your favorite brands ready at the computer. Using a search engine type in the name of the manufacturer of your favorite brand

Send an Email
After you locate the customer service email on the website or using their own web form here is a sample letter ( feel free to copy and paste).

Dear So and So,

I have been a customer and fan of your product ( insert item name here) for many years.
My family is currently experiencing difficulties like many of our fellow citizens and we are tightening our belts in the grocery aisles.
While we use the printed coupons and discount card, I was hoping I could request a coupon direct from your organization. Your product is always a treat and I would love the opportunity to brag to all my friends that I received a response and a coupon from this email.

Thank you
Your Name
Your State

Will it Work?
Surprisingly YES! It does work. The companies are responding with an astounding reply, FREE COUPONS!

Does it Always Work?

No. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t keep trying, just think if you have two coupons for the same item and walk away from the store knowing you are getting a great product at a HUGE savings!

Any Other Ideas?
Yes! Did you know that the majority of companies will send you a coupon as well for sending a compliment? I have actually done this with Snapple. I loved the new design of the bottles and let them know. They sent me a coupon for not only a discount, but a FREE bottle of their Iced Tea.

So, get to the cupboards, get online and start asking for discounts!
