Most people are interested in saving a buck if they can. Recognizing this, a family of Internet savvy entrepreneurs - brothers Luke and Jesse Knowles – created Coupon Sherpa as a comprehensive resource where consumers can find online coupons, printable coupons and grocery coupons along with a free, downloadable iPhone application that provides access to mobile coupons. Now, the Knowles have introduced the Ask Coupon Sherpa blog, which is a resource that contains engaging features about money saving tips and also serves as an interactive site where consumers can ask questions and share shopping secrets of their own.
It was the Coupon Sherpa iPhone application that sparked the idea for the expanded Coupon Sherpa web site in August and the Ask Coupon Sherpa blog in September. Launched in April, the Coupon Sherpa iPhone application allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to access in-store coupons from their mobile device and present that coupon to the cashiers at participating merchants.
The Knowles received such an overwhelming response to the iPhone application that they decided to expand Coupon Sherpa into a one-stop online destination for coupons. The Ask Coupon Sherpa blog reflects the Knowles’ commitment to making the Coupon Sherpa site an engaging and fun community for cost-conscious consumers.
Coupon Sherpa is actually a cartoon character that is part of the Knowles’ network of frugal living web sites. Mr. Free Stuff and Mrs. Sweepstakes are other characters in the frugal living family.
On the Ask Coupon Sherpa blog, readers can type in shopping-related questions in the form on the home page and the Coupon Sherpa character will answer them via e-mail and Twitter.
“Our goal is to allow visitors to become actively involved in our site. We believe it will be a popular forum for like-minded people,” Luke Knowles said. “The Ask Coupon Sherpa blog contains useful information that helps people save money whether they are shopping online or in brick-and-mortar locations.”
Articles on the Ask Coupon Sherpa blog are professionally written and are broken into categories such as Grocery Shopping, Online Shopping, In-Store Shopping, Do-It-Yourself and How To. There is even a shopping glossary section that defines modern retail terminology (like BOGO, or Buy One Get One Free) and NED (No Expiration Date).
Among the recent features include “4 Products You Should Always Buy Generic,” 5 Tips for Shopping With Children,” “The 6 Biggest Retail Rip-offs You’re Probably Falling For,” and “20 Creative Uses for Plastic Grocery Bags.”
The Deal or Dud category lets you know if the item you are thinking about buying is worthwhile or a waste of money. A recent article explored the subject of As-Seen-On-TV fitness products. For example, Coupon Sherpa says the Perfect Pushup is a deal while the Lateral Thigh Trainer is a dud.
Coupon Sherpa is a comprehensive resource where consumers can find accurate and up-to-date online coupons, printable coupons and grocery coupons along with a free, downloadable iPhone application that provides access to mobile coupons. With the iPhone application, consumers can present the coupons (on their mobile devices) to the respective store’s cashier and receive the applicable discount. Merchants can post an unlimited amount of coupons on the application for free. For more information, visit www.couponsherpa.com.
