ZiXXo, Your 2.0 Coupons
ZiXXo provides a web-based coupon creation, management and syndication network that enables businesses to reward favorable behavior by local consumers. In plain English, that means that businesses can create and manage their coupons with ZiXXo and ZiXXo syndicates them out to local consumers through partner websites. While ZiXXo provides a destination site for finding and using coupons they would be happy to have 99.9% of that work handled through partner sites.
From the about:
By leveraging the Internet we can dramatically reduce the distribution costs and eliminate the 99% of coupons that are thrown in the trash, which, of course, saves a lot of trees. In addition, we provide customers with a far superior experience that includes ratings, contact information, reviews, and more. Plus advertisers can create coupons in minutes and they have total control over them.
Consider this: In 1971 there were 20 billion coupons distributed in the United States. In 1972 Valassis introduced coupons to newspapers and U.S. coupon distribution grew 10X to 200 billion (today it is about 350 billion). 79% of the U.S. population used coupons last year and over 50% of the Sunday newspapers are purchased for the coupons. So people love coupons and if you come up with a better way to distribute them, people will beat a path to your website. Well, simply put, we created a better way to distribute coupons. However, we focus on coupons from local companies, not the consumer packaged goods (CPG) coupons you get in the Sunday newspaper.
Users can go to the ‘Get Coupon’ section, and browse coupons based on their zip code (US) or drill down the directory. There’s a rating system for the users to rate the businesses and coupons which makes it possible to find the ‘best rated’ most popular coupons. Users can write reviews and add tags to them to make it more searchable.
