Coupon Sources: Emailing the Manufacturer
One of my favorite ways to get coupons is to email the manufacturer. I routinely look through my house for products that I love and use regularly. Then I go to the product websites and look for the “contact us” link. Some websites have an email form and some just have an email address. Then I write a short note about how much I love their product, how often I use it, and why I love it/how it helps me & my family. I don’t usually mention coupons but you can if you want. Doing this lets the manufacturer know that people like their products so they hopefully won’t discontinue the ones you love! It also helps you! The companies (I’d say 8 times out of 10) will usually mail you coupons! Sometimes they even send coupons for FREE products! It’s a win-win! Just about every website has an email form that will require your address but, if they don’t, make sure and include it.
Some companies that have sent me FREE product coupons for emailing them a compliment:
Starkist Tuna
Playtex Tampons
Flinstones Vitamins
Dannon Yogurt
Con Agra
SC Johnson (they are AWESOME!)
and many more!
It only takes a minute to do! I have a google toolbar with AutoFill (fills in forms with my information automatically so that I don’t have to type it a million times) so that makes it much easier and faster.
It’s also so much more fun checking the mail when it’s crammed full with coupons and free products!
