Coupology Offers Free Ad Service for Local Merchants

This might be the shot in the arm that some recession-weary owners of small and medium-sized local businesses have been waiting for. Coupology.com is offering its coupon advertising service with direct e-mail marketing tools free of charge for a 60-day period.

Tailored for local small business advertising, the service allows owners and managers to e-mail coupons and other special promotions to their own customer base, as well as all of the Coupology users in the area, using one of the company's professionally designed templates. A Customer Address Book that tracks birthdays and anniversaries makes it easier to send targeted e-mail coupons to customers. Advertisers can also track the real-time performance of their printable coupons, SMS text coupons or e-mail coupons that customers are most likely to click through.

Coupology is a new site that drives consumers toward the best deals and promotions from local and national businesses. Founded in 2009, it has quickly grown to include more than 1,000 retailers and 75,000 active coupons. Go to Coupology.com to sign up for the free trial or to learn more about their services.
