Not sure if it has been suggested before, but it occurs to me that ebidders could do with an addition to be able to create customized discount coupons for their ebid stores to print out and include with packages shipped from "other venues" to attract more buyers to ebid
It would seem fairly simple - create a customized discount code that applies to anything within a specific ebid store (randomly generated unique identifier) that ebid store owners can print and mail to prospective buyers (Just have a peek at Zen Cart's coupon codes for some effective ideas)
We ship over 1K packages a month - At the moment, I am working on putting together a new batch of listings to go up on eBid
- What I'd love to be able to do is print out a custom discount code which can be used *either* one time per buyer or multiple times per buyer within a specific time frame , at seller's option (when setting up the coupons in My eBid) - Indeed, I can link buyers to a specific URL on my own website that can generate a printable coupon using that particular code, AND link to eBid for new signups (to earn buddy points, too!)
Once coupon code is entered, the system can automatically apply the discount (dollar amount or percentage off) to the sale price of the item, and buyers come away happy with a savings , ebid gets new buyers (if new signup), seller gains a sale on eBid (and buddy points maybe) - It's a winner all the way around.
