Tjoos Cuts The Crap out of Couponing

January 29th, 2009 by Social Guy

Many online merchants issue coupon codes, which give you instant discounts when shopping at their online store. Coupon sites aggregate codes from hundreds or thousands of stores. Around the internet there are thousands of such sites, but most fail in at least one of two areas: Quantity (limited number of stores) or Quality (many coupons don’t work). Fast-growing coupon site Tjoos.com has tackled both under the motto: More Coupons, Less Crap.

Coupons for about a thousand stores are easy to get and maintain as they are available in feeds from merchant networks. Most sites will only list these coupons, however this is only a small part of all coupons out there.

The Tjoos team sources their coupons not only directly from merchants, but also sifts through almost 10.000 newsletters monthly to find coupons that merchants send directly to their customers. The team also scans many forums for additional coupons and any remaining coupons are added by users.

Busy stay-at-home mom Janet Menzies used to Google for coupons until she found Tjoos: “Now I always check Tjoos first. If they don’t have any coupons I will still try Google, but this tends to be a waste of my time.”

Most coupons found online don’t work. As a result, frugal shoppers waste a lot of time trying to find a working coupon code. Some sites rely on user voting to find out if a coupon works with mixed results. For the most popular stores this works, but for less popular stores there aren’t enough votes.

To safeguard the quality of coupons on Tjoos, the team verifies every coupon that gets added. When a coupon is verified it is marked as such and displays at the top of the list, making it easy for shoppers to locate the coupons that work.

Bart Jellema, co-founder of Tjoos, says coupon site users have identified sorting through non-working codes as their top annoyance. “This makes it our top priority to ensure our coupons work. We are proud to be the first coupon site to deliver both quality and quantity to our users, with more than 11.000 coupons verified to work.”
