Webmaster’s Solution for Coupon Codes Generation
When it comes to creating a coupon code, most people think that they need coupons, codes generator and software. However, in reality, these are just an over-processing of the same procedure. This guide will provide you with basic steps that can help you understand how to generate your own coupon code.
By following this process even if you don't have any tools other than a few free web browsers then you will be able to create your own unique coupon code for nearly every situation.
This process will require a few easy steps. The first step is to decide if you want to make your coupon code for a specific group of people, or if you want it to be open for anyone to use it. For example, if you choose to create a code that is open then everyone can use it and if you select specific then your coupon code will only work for people whom are within the age range or meet at least one of the other criteria that you choose.
After choosing either the open or specific category, the next thing that will need to be decided is the type of deal that will be offered with this coupon code. Think about whether your coupon will require an expiration date or not. If it is not going to expire then make sure that the expiration date does not fall far in the future (say, a month or two from when you will give it out). And again, think about whether you want a code that can only be used once or can have an unlimited amount of use.
Once you have decided on the type of deal, and decided how the coupon will be given out and what the time frame is for using it then you will need to decide on your discount. You can either choose wholesale or retail which will basically determine what percentage off of the full price item is being given away. The discount will be figured out by the percentage off of the retail price that you want to give away.
Here’s an example: For a "Deal-A-Day" site, you plan to give away a $100 item for $50, which is a 50% discount. The retail price of the item is $100 so you multiply 100 x .50 to get the wholesale price of 50. The coupon code would then be given only as “NINE” and that would be it. No tricks or tricky codes here, just numbers to represent letter and other letters (numbers 1-9 represent A through I).
Next is the design of your coupon code. Since our example deals with a discount off of the full priced item, you will want the coupon to show the word "discount" just as an example. On each line that you will need to use, place a number from 1-9. This will be how the user can determine what letter is used in this code and what discounts are being offered.
After deciding on the type of deal, type of discount and design for your coupon code then it's time to create a page. Here is where you actually create your site or domain alias or whatever name you choose to identify it under (for example: if it's called baadcompany.com then you will need to create a page under that name called "coupon").
When creating the page and making sure that the new coupon code does not contain any words that would cause your domain to be blocked (such as certain numbers and terms of use) then make sure that the coupon code is placed on a navigation bar rather than embedded in the HTML. This is because your coupons are being given out to anyone who visits your site, and it's best if your coupon codes don't advertise themselves. Also, it's best if the coupon is given only for one time use since giving it away over and over can really spoil a user's impression of your site.
If you have no programming experience and cannot seem to grasp how this coupon generation system works, then you should hire a webmaster who will be able to create your site and/or your coupon code for you.
Using this system, even if you choose to make the coupon specific, then anyone can benefit from it by using the simple directions given here. The great thing about this coupon code generator is that it is self-contained and does not need any outside programs or third party applications. This means that your customers can get their discounts without having to go through a third party application or website.
Make sure that you can see your website change once the code is entered and make sure that you actually have an "enter" button. This will be the final step to generating your coupon code. If you can't see anything change when you push enter then something is wrong with your HTML coding.
Again, this guide should help you to understand how to create a coupon code and generate it on your own site rather than through a third party program or via a software application. You might find that generating your own coupon codes will save money on software as well as time and energy in finding the right generator or application that will give you what you want. Think about how much money you will be saving by not going through a third party software developer when generating your coupon or discount codes.
