Promotions.co.uk – a New Approach to Discount Codes
This is NOT a paid post.
It’s about a site i came across that looks like a novel approach to Discount Code/Coupon sites. These are a hot area, and one I’ve written about before - and they are particularly relevant in the current economic climate, but many people find that it’s difficult to get a decent Coupon site going. It can be difficult to locate good Coupons and keep the current ones on your site – and it can be a pain managing a lot of affiliate accounts.
Doug and the guys at ASAP have come up with Promotions.co.uk - a service that will let you run a Coupon site or have Coupon sections on your Content site with two big advantages: they do most of the leg work for you and, more importantly, you can get to keep most, if not all, all of the revenue 
The service is still in development at the moment, and the final product will be refined as a result of feedback, but to me it looks like a fantastic idea. I haven’t got the time to be maintaining a hundred affiliate accounts or constantly looking for good and current offers that match my content – so this could just offer a solution for me, and for many of you.
Various benefits include (paraphrased from the Promotions.co.uk site):
- Your own discount code website or subdomain or our discount codes on your site, similar to adsense. Site can be built, or you can use a CMS to manage a coupon site, or you can add some code to your site for displaying coupons
- They collect and control all the codes on your behalf.
- You can add your own exclusive codes if you have any.
- They ensure that as many merchant’s discount codes as possible are live in the system, without you having to request them from a network or a merchant.
- All you have to do is drive traffic to your site(s). You can do this any way you wish and if you want to add unique content to your discount site then you can.
- If you have a content site you can add their code to each page and the discount codes for merchant with that product will display show. Hence protecting content/information sites from losing sales to voucher code sites.
Doug is a top bloke (check out the interview with him if you haven’t already), his ideas are usually spot-on and ASAP have great contacts with big players in the industry, so my guess is that this will be a winner.
You’ve got nothing to lose so hop on over to Promotions.co.uk and check it out for yourself.
