Online Coupons Bring More Customers

MerchantCircle Journal August 2009

Stacey, Manager of Kimberly Spa in Omaha,NE, says she is noticing more customers bringing in coupons from MerchantCircle. “There seems to have been an explosion lately of clients using our coupons posted online,” said Stacey.

Stacey said she recently started to notice an increase in coupon clippings. “We had to reconfigure our lead source lists to include MerchantCircle since it has become so popular,” said Stacey. “It's nice having someone out there working for us!”

Cherrell Triplett, a Kimberly Spa customer, said she found her coupon through a Google search. Just being an active member on MerchantCircle helped bring the Kimberly Spa listing to the top of search engines. Karen, another Kimberly Spa customer who usually finds her coupons in the newspaper, said she found her coupon by doing a search in Yahoo. Karen recommends using online coupons, “it was great, I saved 30% off of my pedicure just for searching for a coupon.”

Since 2007, Kimberly Spa has been an active member of MerchantCircle. When searching for online networks, Stacey said she chose MerchantCircle because it was very easy to get started.

In the past, Stacey said she tried using direct mail to attract new customers but Internet advertising has brought her far more business.

Coupon templates are free features for all Merchant listings. Currently you can get 30% off first time services at Kimberly Spa. MerchantCircle also pushes out all Merchant created coupons to a MerchantCircle Twitter coupon account by location.
