Default An interesting idea....

Hi John,

Something to think about, what's to stop people from printing multiple discount coupons?

I personally think that if you want to do this online, it might work best selling coupons for other online businesses.... For example, if someone is selling a number of ebooks, a potential customer could get a discount "e-coupon" through your site for a limited number of purchases. I think this idea WILL happen sooner or later, I think it's a great idea....

In fact, this is like an alternative to "affiliate programs".... In a normal affiliate program, the main seller pays the affiliate for making a sale. In this new method, the "middle-man/woman" gets a discount, and sells that discount to a customer. From the main seller's point of view, it's the same, since he/she still gets paid a portion of the retail price. The main difference is what the customer sees....
