What Are Coupons?
Coupons are promotional items offered by retailers to consumers as an additional incentive to shop. Some people call them coupons, some people call them promotional codes, and others call them coupon codes. They all mean the same thing in that they offer you an opportunity to obtain special benefits and privileges from the retailer.
Some coupons offer you a percentage discount when applied to a purchase. Some coupons can offer you free shipping and some coupons can offer you a gift in addition to your purchase.
How Do Coupons Work?
Coupon codes are usually designed by the retailer and different coupons have different values and incentives. A code might offer 10% discounts while another coupon might offer 25% discounts. When coupons are available, online retailers will include a box at checkout in which you'll be required to input a coupon code if you have one.
When you input your coupon code and the checkout system confirms its validity, its value will be applied to your purchase. Hence, you'll be shown the original price of the item, you'll be shown the value of the coupon, which has been deducted from the price of the item. You'll now have a total for the item, which will be less the value of the coupon.
Coupons appear in different types based on the sole discretion of the retailer. For instance, they might offer public coupon that can be used by anybody on the site. Public coupons usually have an unlimited usage time.
In other instances, they might release private coupons to few customers who shop frequently or who have bought certain amount of goods. The private coupons can only be used by the customers to whom they were issued and they cannot be transferred or shared.
Why Do I Need Coupons?
Online retailers are in the business of making profit, and there is no such thing as an excessively high profit margin. Hence, most of the goods are usually listed with high markup price tags. However, in a bid to drive sales, the retailers might reduce the price tags in a bid to make the goods appear more affordable.
Hence, it makes sense that you apply a coupon code on your purchases in order to avoid being fleeced by online retailers. Even when coupon codes don’t reduce the amount you pay on a good, they might reduce the amount you pay in shipping fees. In the simplest sense, coupon codes put more money in your pocket.
Where Can I find Coupons?
The easiest way to lay your hands on coupons of online retailers in Nigeria is to be a fan of the company. If you follow the retailer on social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, you'll be among the first to know when the firm has created new coupons. A social media engagement is your best bet because you get automatic notifications on your smartphones via the social media app.
You can also obtain information about coupons by registering with the retailer as a customer – the retailer will have your email on file and you can receive email notifications about coupons. You can also obtain information about coupons by subscribing to receive the retailer's newsletter.
