| Anyone like to join me in a challenge of sorts? I am looking for a buddy or two....
I am doing this personally and was just thinking if anyone else wanted to join in then come on........lets do it. I want to spend October e-mailing and contacting companies letting them know how much I like their product, and also to see if they will send coupons. I always read about how everyone does his and think to myself "oh...that sounds like a fun easy think to do." Well, I have done nothing about it. I decided I want to see how many companies I can e-mail in a month, and just how many correspond back. I think it would be fun to have a buddy, but understand that I might be in this on my own. I am fine with that too. Let me know if this interests you, we could just check in occasionally and brag about how much replies we have gotten. |

There are many lists out there. Under the Lets Talk Coupons...Coupon BORG.... There is a sticky up top that has a list of companies complete with e-mail links. Basically what I was thinking of doing was compiling a list of the foods/products that my family likes and e-mailing those companies. I do not plan on e-mailing companies just because, only the ones I am praising. I do not need more coupons for dog food (because I have no Dogs.) See what I am saying? |

I'll join in as time allows. I've got a whole list of places I've wanted to contact, so now I'll use this as my nudge to do it. I'll probably blog about it too

I have emailed Weight Watchers a month or so ago about their new smart ones meals...... They are soooooooo good. I told them I liked them and they sent me a couple of coupons for either $ 1.00 or $ 1.50 off. I have also done this and gotten Renuzit, Soft Scrub,Jack Daniels b-b-q sauce,Lea & Perrins worcestershire sauce, etc. This works to your benefit most of the time. I will join you doing this and report what happens when I know.

We can check in every once in a while and let each other know how we are doing. We can vent about companies blowing us off, and brag about some of the best coupons we got. You can share as much or as little as you want. If you just want to summarize the number of companies you e-mailed and the number of responses you got that would be fine. If you want to list each one individually that is fine also. ***Note- It was brought to my attention that if we each say what companies sent us the best coupons that maybe the company will get overwhelmed by e-mails and will be less willing to send out coupons. Any thoughts on this? |

I'd like to join too. Companies might be less willing to send coupons out if they get a whole ton of emails, but we don't know how much is enough to make a difference. Others have already posted the good coupons they have gotten on this forum so I think it's probably ok to brag about who you contacted and what you got.

I don't think the companies will be turned off. We're a small amount of people. They probably get thousands of emails per day, both good and bad. They like to hear from us, otherwise how will they know which products are doing well and which ones aren't you know? I can start off. I wrote SC Johnson about the little Glade soy candles. I wasn't happy with how one of the scents smelled once burned. In return I got a coupon for one of the large candles for free (up to $9 value!) and a coupon book with about $10-15 worth of other coupons! Yay! I've also written Apple & Eve juice since my little ones AND myself have really come to love their juice. They sent me about 15 $1/1 coupons!

Just curious.. What do you say in the e-mails? Just tell them you like a product and wonder if they give out coupons? But what if there is a product you do NOT like, how do I go about writing that e-mail?
