Online coupon first

Coming under the heading of “Why has no one done this before” is a new service that enables web site visitors to print out secure bar-coded coupons and vouchers to drive in-store sales.

Already popular in the States, couponstar has recently rolled out its CouponNET service here in the UK to become the first online network in this country for distributing consumer-printed coupons and vouchers. The service is designed to provide a turnkey platform that carefully controls the number of coupons that can be printed by site visitors, as well as the total distributed across all web sites within the network.

The couponstar system also supports video coupons where customers are required to view a short video commercial before they can print the offer.
