More detailed suggestions and tips
The type of post we’re looking for is similar to the examples above. As you can see, we’re providing a detailed walk-through of the process of finding a working promo code for a single store. We’re highlighting an everyday experience of many shoppers, which is that we look for a promo code for a given store, but we have a hard time finding one that works.
This is the main reason behind Dealspotr - we wanted to make this experience better. So in these articles, we’re highlighting some of the unique ways people can find working codes, especially for stores that don’t offer that many of them. Feel free to also compare us to other sites or tools with which your readers might be familiar.
So the goal of your post would be to select a store, then do this same type of walk through (with photo evidence) and highlight how you were able to find discounts using Dealspotr.
To help you get started, we've put together a list of stores you might want to feature, and some popular tips that readers can use to find deals at many retailers. A good article would include 4-5 of these tips (note: this is not a complete list of tips). You're free to write about any store you'd like (not limited to these ideas), as long as you provide an informative introduction to Dealspotr.
tip #1: look for the store's coupon page
Sometimes, the answer to finding promo codes for a certain store lies right on that store's website. After some light digging, you may be able to find their "coupons" or "deals" page.
Tip #2: sign up for the store's email newsletter
Some stores might instantly send you a code, like below:

Tip #2: Use deal websites to find a single-use promo code
This is where Dealspotr (and other coupon sites) would come in. On Dealspotr, you're able to filter for single-use codes.

tip #4: Follow your favorite stores on social media
A lot of stores will post deals exclusively on their social feeds, so following them can get you access to deals you might not find elsewhere.
Tip #5: Look for deals on your favorite brands at third-party stores
This one's a bit tricky. Say you can’t find a coupon code for the specific store you’re looking to shop at. If that store sells its products on other ecommerce sites, you can “hack” savings by finding a code for another site/store that would apply to the product you’re interested in.
Dealspotr makes this easy by including a filter for these third-party deals.

General Dealspotr talking points you might include
- Dealspotr is the Wikipedia of deals. All our deals are added by people just like you, ensuring accuracy.
- We have more codes and fewer expired ones than RetailMeNot, Coupons.com, Groupon, or any other coupon site. See the data in our test of 550 promo codes posted at major coupon sites.
- We go further than other coupon sites to save you money. Beyond regular deals and promo codes, we show you:
- Single-use codes: often giving a site-wide discount (they are only good for one use, but we typically have several codes at any given time)
- Personal referral codes: giving friends and family-type discounts
- 3rd party deals: discount codes at other retailers that can be used to score discounts on the brand the shopper is looking for
You might also think about including a deal right in your blog post. For that, you can use our deal sharing widget. Save time and earn more from your deal blog posts. Also, feel free to include your Dealspotr referral link in your article - you'll earn points and bonuses for anyone who signs up!
