How do I send out coupons to my fans?
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Tracey of It Girl Nail Decals just asked “How do I send out coupons to my fans?”
Thanks for the great question Tracey! Here is how you do it.
Create a Coupon
1. Going to the “Marketing” -> “Give Coupons” section
2. Pick a Coupon type “Percentage Off” or “Free Shipping”. In this example we are going to do a “Percentage Off” coupon for 10% if they type in “Awesome” and we are going to a make it public (public coupons get displayed off our homepage). Hit the “Save” button to make your coupon active!
Send a Newsletter
3. Go to “Network” -> “Mail My Fans”
4. Enter in a subject, pick a greeting, and send them a message. Make sure the message tells your fans about your coupon!
Click on the “Mail My Fans” button at the bottom and your coupon will be sent to all your fans!
