Photopon: The Next Big Thing in Social Proof Apps

Social media is unquestionably a hot item today.  From keeping up with family to sharing photos and more, it is an eminent source for many of us in our lives.  We even use it to share what products and services we like.

This is the idea behind social proof.  If your friends and family love it, then that serves as a type of “proof” (as opposed to expert advice, celebrities, and appeals to the crowd – think McDonald’s “over 1 million served” sign) – and placed on a social platform, it becomes social proof. 

How do you save money?  Many of us listen to those who are close, as they not only know our tastes, but they are trustworthy.  And thanks to Photopon, the next big thing in social proof appshas arrived.

A Photopon is simply a coupon that combines with a picture.  If your sibling snaps a shot of her family enjoying a great new local restaurant, she can forward the picture as a coupon so that you can save.  This Photopon can be shared via text, email, and – of course – social media. 

As the next big thing in social proof apps, Photopon has revolutionized this area.  It adds a lot of fun in the photos.  It adds trustworthy recommendations that you control, as your friends and family are contacting you – not businesses that have your personal information.  It also adds savings in a convenient manner.

Take advantage of a fun way to get custom recommendations by those who know you best. Contact us to learn more about this innovative social proof app – which is a great deal of fun!

Like Saving Money? Learn About Products Through Friends’ Photopons

Who do you trust more for a product recommendation – your friend or retailers and “daily site deals?”  The answer is simple.  With the innovative free tool, you can learn about products through friends' photopons – a fun and useful tool that can save you big money.

It’s a simple process.  Photopon allows you and your friends to find deals in your area.  Once that happens, you can create a coupon with your picture on it.  Then, you have the option of sending it to friends and family.

Not only can you learn about the products through friends’ Photopons, but you can get their first-hand recommendation.  In other words, instead of receiving unwanted offers from retailers and sites, you get them from those who are close to you.  You can see your parent enjoying a great meal at a discounted local Mexican restaurant, or your beautiful two-year-old cousin saving on new clothes at a retailer.

It’s fun and practical.  By online receiving great deals from friends and family, you will rid yourself of annoying offers from companies.  You won’t need to share your private, personal information with big corporations.  Simply let your loved ones create and send fun Photopons that you’ll appreciate.

Are you tired of keeping up with the Groupons of the Internet?  Have emails with “great offers” gotten old?  Experience photo-based coupons with Photopons – and enjoy receiving them by text message, email, and social media.  It’s a fun way to catch up, learn about products from your friends, and ultimately, save a lot of money!

Make Your Own Coupons to Save for Holiday Gifts

With the Holiday Season fast approaching, those who are looking to take care of their gift list need to get into high gear. After all, last-minute Holiday shopping is not akin to saving a lot of money.

Gifts can get expensive during the holiday season.  According to the American Research Group, average spending was $658 in 2010 and $646 in 2011.  By November 21, 2011, only 39 percent had begun starting for Christmas gifts.

That’s not a good recipe.  Not only will most spend quite a bit of money – perhaps an increase for 2012 – but starting the process early is also a roadblock.  Yet, according to the figures, just over 50 percent will wait until something goes on sale.

Managing Holiday gifts is certainly not easy.  For some, it can seem like an additional job, in searching for deals and taking care of the Gift list. However, it can be much easier…

With Photopon, you can make your own coupons to save on gifts.  You can share coupons with friends and family via phone and social media, and you can even (with PayPal) make coupons for retailers that don’t offer coupons.  The latter option works as a sort of gift certificate, which can be easily be personalized.

Either way, you receive photo coupons that are easy to use and perfect for Christmas.  You can forget about managing coupons and “general” gift certificates – Photopon excels in all areas.

Are you looking to transform the way you save on Holiday gifts – and all types of gifts?  Contact us for more information on this helpful and simple tool.

Worried About Retailers Having Your Personal Info? Photopon Provides the Solution!

It’s enough to make anyone feel like giving up the coupon game.  When you check your email, tens, hundreds, and even thousands of emails can overwhelm your inbox.  Also, there are plenty of ads in your real mailbox – and then there could be the phone calls.

Signing up for great deals sounds exciting; after all, who doesn’t like saving money?  Yet, when the hassle of dealing with retailers and their spam – or, offers – is experienced, maybe it’s not worth it.  At the very least, it crosses your mind.

This is what we at Photopon are looking to prevent.  With our social coupons that you create and share with friends and family, you don’t have to worry about that.  Once you or someone you know finds a great deal, it is shared with a custom picture right on the coupon.  And then – the only way the coupon is shared – it can be presented to family and friends by email or social media, for instance.

In this process, a wide range of items are benefited:

• Personal Info: Photopon does not give your information out to third parties.  It is safe from retailers, spam emails, and so forth!
• Relevant Deals: Your friends and family know you best – not retailers.  Photopon relies on their recommendations, which will be targeted to you naturally.  Thus, you will receive offers that are for you, helping you save time and money.
• Convenience and Fun: Your friend just found the item you’ve been looking for on sale.  Also, you have received a cute coupon from your eight-year-old niece.  With photo coupons and plenty of sharing options, it all comes together nicely.

Take advantage of Photopon as your money-saving option.  It will certainly keep your information safe and allow you to enjoy the perks of social photo coupons.  Contact us to learn more!

Keep Your Info Private with Photopon

Do you need an edge with your wedding budget?  Of course you do…

The latest numbers are staggering: An average U.S. wedding costs $27,021, according to Patricia Reaney of Reuters.  If you’re in a bigger city, the costs rise drastically – New York City and Chicago come in at $65,824 and $53,069, respectively.

These costs can add up incredibly quickly to break the wedding budget.  And while items like the ceremony and reception sites, as well as food, aren’t exactly negotiable, there are opportunities to save money.  This is where social photo coupon Photopon comes into play.

With Photopon, you can search for retailers in your area that have sales.  One of the great things about Photopon is that others can share deals with you.  If someone in your wedding party finds vases for the centerpiece at a great price, you can be notified via social media, text, or email. 

You don’t have to worry about giving out your name and information, as is the case with other coupon providers.  Your information is safe from big corporations who like to gather personal information.  With Photopon, your friends know you best – and they can be responsible for sending personalized coupons/photopons they know you’ll love and appreciate for your wedding.

And with photo coupons, these items become wedding history – share they and enjoy as memories of planning your wedding!

The New Local Social Coupon

Are you interested in finding great local businesses?  Surely the community is packed with gems – regardless of the size of the city or town where you live.

Yet, how do you do this?  You could scour the Internet, looking for the next great takeout Chinese place.  Also, there is the local newspaper, though that can be a hit-and-miss predicament as well.  Not to mention, there is the topic of price and recommendations – how do you justify the price of trying out many new places, and how will you know which ones to try?

A local social coupon from Photopon could fill that void:

• You can find local businesses that you never knew existed
• With great discounts, it won’t involve paying full price to shop, eat, etc.
• Social coupons come from friends and family – reviews that you can trust!
• Convenience is assured, with email, texting, and social media integration as delivery options

The list goes on.  For instance, with a local social coupon from Photopon, the “giver” of the coupon can snap a picture to create a custom coupon.  Thus, the photo coupon was born!

There is also much more happening at Photopon.  With a great new feature, users can create social coupons for their favorite stores – regardless if the business offers coupons.  This works by way of a PayPal partnership, where the giver can use their money to set the amount which will be saved.  It results in a photo-coupon-gift-certificate hybrid of sorts.

How will you take advantage of local social coupons?  Contact us to learn more about this money-saving tool that is incredibly fun to use!

Taking the Coupon to the Next Level

It’s official – the coupon have gotten out of hand.

Between online and traditional coupons, the services keep increasing.  It isn’t uncommon for consumers to have several coupon accounts, even using a physical or online-based coupon organizer (or organizing system) as well.

And, to make matters worse, daily deal sites are increasing in number.  Yipit cites approximately 500 – and there are plenty others that take over social networks, email accounts, and other mediums.  Between coupon sites/services and daily deal sites, a consumer can spend a great deal of time searching for money-saving opportunities.

Yet, in the end, he or she may end up spending too much time to justify the trouble. 

Coupons have become limited as well.  Thankfully, we at Photopon have implemented two heavy-hitting features to solve these problems:

• Mobile Photo Coupons: Instead of your “average” coupon, or mobile coupon, even, you can now transform the item into a photo coupon.  Share a coupon (Facebook, email, SMS, etc.) with a picture of the item, the gift-giver, or something else for a truly unique coupon.
• Make Your Own Coupons: Our latest feature is a major innovation.  If there is no coupon available for a desired retailer, you don’t have to waste time searching for one – or an alternative.  Simply create your photo coupon with PayPal, setting the amount you want your friends and family to save.  You decide on the expiration terms and amount for your coupons – and enjoy the same customization, as always.

Try Photopon and you’ll see the next generation in coupons.  Or, rather, you’ll see a unique service that makes coupons, deal sites, and other items a waste of time.

Contact us to see how Photopon can change your money-saving and gift-giving experience.  With these two innovative features, you can enjoy saving time and money.
