Many clever shoppers have discovered the secret world of online coupon codes. These secret codes can be quickly plugged in to a discount or promotional code box when you check out at your favorite online merchants.
Most coupons provide free shipping or 5% - 30% off of an order, but sometimes you can get lucky and find savings in coupons of 50% or more!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
There are generally two types of ways to save money shopping online:
Clickable Links:
With this type of discount, an affiliate, such as CleverMoms.com, CleverDads.com, or CleverBabies.com, will provide you with a deal on their website. You simply click on the link provided, and the savings indicated will appear directly in your online shopping cart .
It is all very seamless because when you click on the link to get the savings, you are automatically transported to the merchant's site to start shopping.
Coupon Codes:
Almost all merchants have a coupon code box located in their checkout cart. note: some merchants refer to it as a "promotional code" or "source code."
Also provided at premium affiliate sites, coupon codes should be copied by left clicking (cutting) with your mouse, then pasting the coupon into the promotional code box in the online shopping cart of your favorite merchant.
Alternatively, you can copy the coupon code down on paper, being careful to note casing (upper and lower case letters often do matter in online shopping carts), and then typing it into the promotional code box when you get to the online shopping cart of your chosen merchant.
Whichever method you use to enter your coupons, remember to use the links provided on the affiliate site providing your coupons to ensure proper tracking.
OTHER WAYS TO SAVE:
In addition to codes, scan your favorite affiliate sites for sales, deals and free shipping offers that require no minimums or codes. Offers change frequently and if you only shop occassionally, it is difficult to keep up on what is going on at hundreds of online merchant sites. Affiliate sites scan hundreds of sites daily. They do the work for you so you can simply sit back and enjoy the best deal every time you shop online!
Tip: Find an affiliate site you like, bookmark it, and remember to scan the site each time you go online to shop. Remember to use the links at the sites to transport to the merchants, even if you are not using a code. It costs you nothing and will help these affiliates stay online and continue to bring you great deals.
