Want a Unique Gift?- Send Your Own Coupons to Friends and Family


When it comes to friends and family, you always wish you could make gifts for them that are thoughtful, unique, and authentic. But, with time constraints and the amount of money that it can sometimes take to be creative, more often than not, you end up just heading to the mall or to a store to buy a not-so-unique pre-fabricated gift.
At Photopon, we want to change all that.  We want to bring back the idea of giving loved ones a unique, authentic gift from the heart, and we want to do it in a way that does not require a lot of time, hassle, or even a lot of money.  
Here's how it works.  Your best friend's birthday is coming up and as you're thinking of things she might like to have you keep reminiscing about that favorite restaurant where the two of you have shared countless meals along with much laughter and tears. Or maybe it's your mom's birthday and even though you hated that she dragged you over and over to that favorite clothing store of hers when you were a little kid, you secretly have so many great memories of those moments and you know that she does too.
Maybe that store or that restaurant doesn't offer coupons, but it doesn't matter because you are going to make them with your mobile phone Photopon App!  With this App, you start by taking a photo, or even uploading one, of that favorite restaurant or store. Maybe you're in the photo next to the restaurant's name, or maybe it's a picture of the clothing section where your mom likes to shop most.  
Next, through PayPal, you can actually set the amount that you want your friends and family to save.  If you know that your best friend's favorite meal at that favorite restaurant costs $14.99, then maybe you decide to set the coupon for $20 so that she can enjoy that favorite meal with a favorite cocktail.  You know your mom will never buy anything that costs more than $35, so that's what you set her coupon amount for.  To add to the fun, you even get to set the terms for expiration!  Finally you put it all together with Photopon, to create a unique coupon for your mom or your best friend.  
When you're ready to send it, you won't even need to worry about paying for packaging or postage.  Just hit send on your mobile phone and the recipient will instantly have their new, unique coupon.  Not only will they, without a doubt, enjoy spending their coupon, but they will do so knowing that it was created uniquely and thoughfully for them, by you.

A Photo Coupon and a Gift Idea


Does your significant other need help buying a gift for you?  Is he or she utterly lost without your help?
Or, do you find yourself considering the perfect gift for you – but you need a way to “pass it along” so that it can happen?  Indeed, you are not alone; there is a solution.
Thanks to Photopon, not only can you locate great savings at locales near you, but you can share them with your friends and family members.  With a simple capture you can transform an “on sale” product to a cool photo coupon for others.
What does this mean for your significant other?  If you happen to locate a great deal on a product you love, you can send it to that special someone.  He or she will not only know what you would love to have, but how to get it at a discounted price.
Think of all the possibilities, as an extension of this line of thought with gifts:
  • Join forces with family members.  When Aunt Brenda finds what your cousin might like, she can send you not just a hint, but a photo coupon with unparalleled clarity and savings
  • Allow your children to shop for their mom or dad.  For a birthday, Father’s or Mother’s Day, your children may not be able to purchase something on their own.  But, they can shop for something and send you an idea.
  • Want to go in on something with your boss?  Receive and give a steady stream of photo coupons, and decide how you will approach shopping for your boss.
The possibilities are endless – just with that of giving a gift.  Imagine what you could do with photo coupons.  One thing is certain: they certainly add fun and savings to shopping.
Are you ready to create photo coupons and save money?  Clearly, photo coupons are much more than just that, as we have seen.  Contact us to learn more about transforming your shopping experiences.
