Coupon Phonics – BlogCoupons, Deals, and Discounts!

This past weekend we had a customer come through our site looking to get a Valentine’s gift, which to us is fairly standard since we have the greatest Valentine’s Day deals online.  What we didn’t expect was the biggest sale of our site’s existence to roll through!

That’s right, this past weekend we had a single item sell for over $23,ooo   :0    That’s a lot of something!   As far as privacy is concerned, we will not reveal any more than what has already been said, but this is something we are quite pleased with.

Who wants to break that record for us?  Keep saving with us, and keep up the good work guys!

As mentioned in a previous post, we have finalized the “Tweet This Deal” section of the site, which now allows EVERY deal to be tweeted with the touch of a button!  *How cool is that*

We’ve seen a bunch of people using it already but would really like to see it used more!  Want to get your twitter post count up? Knock out some updates with the best deals around!

Try it out and let us know what you think… we’re fairly positive you’re going to like it.

What deals are you after?

That’s the question of the hour!  With so many stores closing down their deals and discounts (as the end of the holiday shipping is coming to an end next week), a good deal is hard to fine.  To be sure we’re not just spinning our wheels here, I thought I would ask around to see what people are loking for when it comes to a deal.

Personally, I’ve been looking in the electronics section pretty exclusively and really homing in on a TV.  Best Buy had some AMAZING Sony deals going on where they delivered a 46″ LCD + Blue Ray + PS3 + Game for under $1,000… but that’s now long gone (even though the promotion lasts until this Saturday.

But enough about me, what are you looking for when it comes to deals?  We might be able to get you just what you are looking for (at the best price) before it becomes too late.

Big update to the site today:

We’ve just finished adding the “Tweet This Deal” functionality to every single deal, coupon, and discount on the site!  This way, if there is a deal that you see and want to share with your followers, all you have to do is click a button and it’s all done, classy huh?

Also, on a side note, we just added a new “Follow Me” button to the side of this blog… check it out!  If you aren’t already following us here, be sure to do so now!  We tweet ONLY the best deals around, none of the other garbage deals you may see out there

More updates to come soon!!! Tell us what you think of everything so far.

Tis the season to be shopping…
and so far what a season.  With all the talk of the recession muffling online sales, I haven’t really seen it! We’re still bringing the best deals out and merchants seem to be giving better discounts than ever.  Last year at around this time it would have been crazy to see a sitewide 20% off coupon, but now they seem to be endless!

Start your shopping today!
There’s no reason to not to start your shopping now (remember the shipping time!), so get to it folks! Remember, if there is a deal, store, or item that you are looking for in particular just let us know… we’ll work our magic and get it on the site for you.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday (the Monday following Black Friday) and coming up at an alarming rate… are you ready?  We here at Coupon Phonics are.   The average consumer will see deals from anywhere between 1-99% off certain items (yes, we’ve seen 99% off’s before!) and there is never a shortage of great deals to find.

So treat yourself.  When Friday/Monday come rolling around, which they inevitably will, be sure you are ready to scoop up some of the best deals you can find.  Trust us, we’ll be posting them!

Another holiday season is upon us, and it looks like online shopping is once again going to be the highlight for most merchants.  Let’s face it, shoppers are online for one thing:  a great deal.  If they could find something cheaper in a physical store, they would go drive and get it (believe me, they would).

What makes this year so good is that many merchants are having “Christmas Early”, where they are running all of their (usually) significant sales starting in November instead of December.  What does this mean for shoppers?  Well, it means they are going to be getting a ton more deals and coupons sent their way before Thanksgiving.  Black Friday and Cyber Monday are going to be the new Xmas to most merchants eyes this year… or at least that’s the plan.

So what does all this mean for you, and most of all, Coupon Phonics?

Better deals, stronger coupons, more frequent updates, and an overall easier time finding the presents/items that you were going to buy anyways is the answer.  Stores that generally only put sales on overstocked items will be hosting sitewide sales (meaning everything in the store is X% off) and other blowouts.  Not to mention the exclusive deals that merchants have been sending our way on an almost daily basis!

In Short…

This holiday season might not be the best for everyone, but it’s going to be a great time for the thrifty shopper to find exactly what they are looking for.

Just loaded it up… how does it look?
