There is so much information to learn about couponing! One thing I just realized I have never have talked about is writing to companies to express dislike/problems or great news about their products.
My sister once got a bad bag of Stringster’s String Cheese. She emailed the company and complained, and they sent her tons of coupons for free string cheese!
Why would companies send you free coupons? Companies want to hear from customers. Research varies, but some studies show only 8% of people with problems with a product complain to the company directly! Most people just stop using the company’s product and/or take it back to the retailer. To the company, that 8% represents a lot of people. For every bit of feedback they get, they know a lot of other people feel the same way. Hearing from you is invaluable to them!
Whether you write to them about a great experience or a horrible dud product, they are happy to hear from you because even if you never use their product again, they want to know what people are saying about it. Most companies happily offer freebie coupons to people who write to them and tell them about the company’s products. Some companies only send out high-value coupons, but that is better than nothing!
How does this affect couponers?
You can write to companies to get great freebie coupons or high-value coupons! Always write the truth, of course. Sometimes people pick a specific day, like Writing Words Wednesday, to write to companies.

To get Valpak coupons free online go to valpak.com and enter your zip code and click “go” and then they will appear.
You can contact just about any company via email or written letter asking for coupons. I once contacted Nivea telling them I never receive their “regional” coupons and they sent me a hand full of high value coupons. I was so excited! If there’s a product you use often, or one you want to try don’t hesitate to contact that company. You’d be surprised how simple it is to get coupons mailed to your home.

I got an email from a reader who was upset that my site had so many deals from states outside of Utah – it was clogging up her Google Reader with deals that didn’t apply to her.
So I spent all weekend working up a solution I think will benefit everyone from every state!
Lite state subscription- Gives you every in-store deal applicable to your state.
Full state subscription- Gives you every in-store deal applicable to your state, plus all other online deals, freebies, printable coupons and deals that are applicable nationwide. Basically, every post on my site except ones that are for a store which is not located in your state or for deals specific to other states.
Oddly: For some reason when you subscribe the name at the top of the feed will show a category, usually a store name, at the top of the feed. Don’t worry, if you look through the feed, it is only showing your state deals. It is just listing the first of many categories which are included in the feed. So don’t worry about it; it’s the correct feed!
SECOND: Changes to which deals are shown on my home page:
To make my home page more applicable to everyone, only store deals, freebies, printable coupons, etc… which are nationwide (or close to it) will be shown. All deals on the Cuckoo Deals Map will still be there, you just need to select your state to see store deals & state/region specific deals. This is important because I am working with other bloggers towards getting deals for every state nationwide soon on the map! If you are a interested in making money posting deals for your state, email me.
Utah readers: I started posting less Utah deals because of my national readers getting bugged. But now that they can subscribe to their state deals which won’t show Utah deals, I am going to start posting more Utah deals! Utah deals will no longer show up on my home page though. To see them, either subscribe via RSS or email to Utah deals, OR just click on the Cuckoo Deals Map and on Utah select “Utah Deals” to view my infamous in-store finds at Macey’s, Fresh Market, Utah offers and more.
What do you think of these changes? Helpful or not? Anything else I can do to ease your time searching for deals? Leave a comment below and let me know.
