"Website for Worldwide Coupon Clippers"
The website, named ‘couponboa’, is presented by TheIcNS.com, an India based startup, whose key business focus is to provide complete IT support for small-scale businesses. As told by a company spokes person, couponboa is aimed to encourage online shoppers to connect with each other and share saving tips and ideas. The first of its kind, couponboa is expected to become fully functional very shortly.
Sources have informed that the technology used to design couponboa is scalable. Simple computer programs will pre-audit content for quality and users have access to rate them. The website has an experienced editorial team with members working in this field for the past five years or more. Company representative has said, “You can’t simply put codes from unreliable sources – you need an aggressive editorial team to judge what should go and what not! As such, so far as coupon clippers are concerned - there is nothing more frustrating than a 30% discount code, which finally turns out to be invalid!”
A TechCrunchies.com survey reports says that ‘the affluent are mad about online coupons’ – with on an average of 40% of Internet users in USA using online coupons, a stunning 53% of the people having annual income of $150K or more are regular coupon users, while for $25K income level - it stands out to be a meager 30%. The company spokesperson has opined, ‘Well, if you look at the discount – you can save noticeable amount on high value items – like iPod, Dell Laptop, or Jewelries. Therefore, affluent do find more benefit in using online coupons. However, if you are going to spend somehow, why not look for a coupon? After all, it’s your money that will be saved in the day’s end!’
The Company spokesperson has also illustrated their marketing plans. ‘You’ll find – this is a highly competitive niche in USA. But we intend to reach out our target audience through various social media primarily. The market in India is rather new. High income group Indians have a great passion for foreign goods – like cosmetics, jewelries, apparels, electronic gadgets, laptops etc. But being in India, you have to pay extra taxes, duties and shipping charges. Coupons for Indians are likely to help them cushioning that extra expense. But the real challenge is to educate Indian consumers about utility of coupons. ‘We are planning to enter into agreement with companies, who provide worldwide shipping’. This’ll help USA based retailers to reach potential market in India as well.
The website, ‘couponboa.com’, with the slogan – “It’s purely coupons & deals” looks very promising at the first instance.
