New Feature Coming - You Decide on the Expiration Terms and Amount for Your Coupons


Finances are tough.  If there’s a birthday coming up for a friend or family member, and you only have $10 to comfortably spare, there’s no shame in that.  Yet, it can feel like it’s not enough.
Thanks to Photopon, things are changing.  Already an innovator in social photo coupons, Photopon is proud to announce another great feature coming soon: you decide on the expiration terms and amount for your photopons.  It even works for retailers that aren’t in a 3rd party database.
Consider the difference:
  • A simple $10 gift certificate.
  • A gift certificate with a picture of the family, artwork from your child, or something else.  Versatility in terms/amount grants further possibilities (i.e. $10 off a purchase or 50% off a $20+ purchase).
With this exciting and soon-to-be-seen feature from Photopon, no longer do you need a willing retailer to create a photo coupon.  PayPal and Photopon have teamed up to provide a unique shopping and gift-giving experience.  No longer is the coupon the only item that offers personalization.
The difference is staggering.  Instead of a simple gift certificate, the item can be presented as a “coupon.”  Yet, it couldn’t be further from the truth.
Combining a coupon and gift certificate, users can present others with a unique gift.  Choose the expiration terms, amounts, the stores, and what the coupon/gift certificate actually looks like.  No important element is left without the ability to be customized.
Of course, you can still share photo coupons for local stores that offer great deals.  With this new feature, though, you decide on the expiration terms and amount for your coupons.  Whether you want to save money, or give others a great gift, Photopon can make it happen.

No Coupon Available for Her Favorite Store? No Problem!

Buying a gift has just gotten a lot easier.  Even if there is not a coupon for that store in question – there still can be.

With Photopon, it is actually quite simple.  Once you create your own photo coupon, you can set the amount that you want your recipient to save.  Even able to set expiration dates, you can create a coupon – from the bottom up – exactly the way you’d like it to be:

Store: Anything goes here.  If it’s not available, with PayPal you can make it happen with your own funds.
Savings: When you fund your Photopon, you set the amount.  Cover the whole restaurant bill for a great birthday gift.  Or, if it’s a cousin you don’t know too well, put $10 towards a future purchase at his/her favorite store.
Aesthetics: It’s still a photo coupon that you can create.  For a gift, consider a picture of the family that is giving the gift.
Expiration: You can set anything you want here as well.
This is the latest innovation from Photopon.  Instead of working with a 3rd party database of deals and sales, Photopon gives users the ability to truly make their own coupons.  Even if the store doesn’t have coupons – now or ever – users can add that functionality, thanks to Photopon and PayPal.

What results is a hybrid: coupon and gift certificate.  However, using Photopon’s customization and delivery features, users can use their own pictures and deliver electronically.  With a unique “coupon” that could serve more as a gift certificate, you could easily create this item – and then personalize it with a cute picture and the perfect delivery option.

Of course, this is just another feature from Photopon.  There is still the traditional coupon of sorts, where with Photopon, users can add a photo and share with friends for savings offered at shops, retailers, and restaurants.

Whether that store offers a coupon or not, Photopon can make it happen.  Contact us to learn more about making your own coupons.

Trying to Eat Healthy? Make Your Own Coupons to Save Money and Calories

Eating healthy is difficult enough at home.  However, when the stakes are taken to your favorite restaurant, all may be lost.

Consider the amount of calories in your favorite meal.  A cheeseburger and fries could easily surpass 500 calories, and you could be looking at more for hot wings, pizza, and so forth.  From value meals to other well-known deals, it can be difficult to pass up on these cheap, calorie-intensive options.

“Normal” coupons don’t help either.  Fast food coupons lower the price on fatty meals.  Sit down restaurants may give a great deal – a two-meal, one appetizer deal that adds food to the bottom line.  Indeed, it seems like anyone who wants to save money and eat healthy is out of luck.

However, with Photopon, you can make your own coupons.  From local restaurants and stores to much more, you can create photo coupons and send them to your friends and family.  As you can imagine, it is not only fun, but very useful as your “sources” are the people you know best.

How does this help with eating healthy?  Instead of high-calorie coupons, you can make your own coupons and send them to others.  As they reciprocate, you can expose yourself to great savings, and truly great food.

Send and receive Photopon coupons from family and friends.  Better yet, come together with your workout partner to find some great meals that are healthy and inexpensive.

Once you start to reach your goals, you can make coupons to get smaller clothes.  Contact us to see how Photopon can transform more than just your “shopping experiences.”

Give a Gift Certificate – and a Personalized Coupon

It has become difficult to purchase gifts for friends and loved ones.  Worse yet, delivery can be a problem in itself.

Imagine that you need to get something for your 18-year-old cousin who is graduating from high school.  However, you haven’t seen him and years, and he is a couple of hours away as well.  Not only do you have no idea what he would like to have, you won’t be able to make it to the graduation party.

A gift certificate sounds like the perfect solution.  However, it has always lacked that personal touch.  That isn’t true anymore.

With Photopon, you can send a personalized coupon to friends and family for any reason.  In our example, you could not only choose a store that your cousin would like, but you could give a personalized coupon as well.

Think about the possibilities of the coupon:

Your 2-year-old could be in the coupon
You could merge the coupon with the “graduation card”
Include a family photo with the coupon
And with the electronic delivery options of many gift cards, you could send his gift with the personalized coupon.  It could certainly beat a “standard” greeting card and gift card.

Photopon allows you to share and receive personalized coupons.  For giving gifts – and much, much more – take advantage of the ways Photopon can transform shopping, across the board.  Contact us to find out more about this fun and exciting tool.

With Photopon, a tool is presented to help you and others save money.  But as you can see with this example, there are many more possibilities...
