How to Share Coupons with ClickClipDeals Part 5 - Bonus Tips
Sharing Techniques & Tips for Social Networks (Facebook / Twitter)
1) Be selective with your coupon choices. Post only the best coupons you think your friends will find useful.
Too much of one thing is not good, and this holds true for sharing coupons too. No matter how great the promotion may be, your friends will not appreciate their newsfeed clustered with Coupons - they might even think you're deliberately spamming!
2) Time your Coupon shares. Certain deals are more attractive on weekends, and some are only valid during weekdays. Share them accordingly!
Social mavens know timing is everything - to be an effective coupon sharer in your social circle, time your coupon shares well. For example, certain Coupons may be more attractive on weekends, while some are only usable during weekdays. Well co-ordinated Coupon shares will be appreciated by your friends - they can tell you've put some thought into it!
3) Take deal-hunting and money-saving to the next level. Start a Social Network Group for discussion amongst friends so everyone stays in the loop!
One great feature of Social Networking is that anyone can form groups for a dedicated purpose. Start a new group with your friends and share the latest Coupons and deals and chat about special offers. Plan group outings together for trying new places to eat and play with ClickClip Coupons - isn't social networking useful?!
Sharing Techniques & Tips for Discussion Forums:
1) Forums are one of the best places to share coupons, often with hundreds (if not thousands) of users browsing daily. Remember to adhere to forum rules and guidelines when posting!
Forums can increase exposure of a Coupon exponentially, and can potentially earn you many Sharer's Points. But before you get carried away, remember to carefully read the forum rules & guidelines so that you are posting legitmately. Stick to the rules and you will have no problem.
2) If you are new to a forum, browse around first. Take note of what goes on and how people communicate. Get a "feel" of the discussions happening before diving in.
There are social etiquettes that we all follow; socializing in forums is no different. For example, while it may be acceptable in one forum to constantly diverge from the main topic (often abbreviated as OOT - "out of topic"), other forums may look down on it. It is important to snoop around before contributing - note the tone, style and content of how each user responds to one another.
3) Be selective with your coupon shares. Post coupons that are relevant to the forum, and remember, don’t spam people. Participate and become part of the community.
Many forums are dedicated to one (or a few) topics. Some general discussion forums will contain subforums to better organize the different categories. When sharing a Coupon, first determine which section will fit it best. For example, sharing a two-for-one deal at a restaurant will not be well received in a health and beauty forum.
