How about this scenario: Joe's Pizza Shop wants to contact all the customers in their computer system. Joe has the option of either recording his own phone message or he can have a professional service record it for him. That’s where a new service called Free Coupon By Phone comes in. Located in Brooklyn, Ohio, the company sends out a message to Joe's customers on Wednesday night with the offer for a free medium pizza with the purchase of a large pizza and the offer is good until Thursday night.  His customers can place an order by pressing "1" and the calls can either be forwarded to a voicemail system for Joe's Pizza Shop to process, or it can be transferred immediately back to the pizza shop itself. With such technology, the possibilities are indeed endless.

FreeCouponByPhone allows businesses to contact their existing customer list or the company can generate a list of new contacts for you.  Thousands of customers are called within minutes and they hear a professional pre-recorded message about your coupon offer advertising your business or service. Over five thousand people can be contacted in less than 15 minutes with your offer. Think of customer retention.   Generally speaking, over 50 per cent of your business is repeat.  If operators don't do something to retain their customer base, the competition will pick them off one-by-one.

The customers that you call can either come from your pre-existing customer database, or DNC filtered lists can be purchased directly from FreeCouponByPhone at very generous wholesale prices. The service is incredibly fast and easy to use.  Simply record your offer via a toll-free messaging system and it is automatically sent to FreeCouponByPhone or send your offer to Cred Marketing and the company will professionally record your message for you.

What about national “Do Not Call Laws?” The Do Not Call Registry does not cover certain types of marketing. The National Do Not Call Registry does not limit calls by political organizations, charities, or telephone surveyors. In addition, a telemarker or seller may call a consumer with whom it has an established a business relationship for up to 18 months after the consumer's last purchase, delivery, or payment - even if the consumer's number is on the National Do Not Call Registry. A company may also call a consumer for up to three months after the consumer makes an inquiry or submits an application to the company. If a consumer has given a company written permission, the company may call even if the consumer's number is on the National Do Not Call Registry.

The setup fee is $300.00, subscriptions are available for $19.00 per month. The usage fee is 15 cents per minute. Technology is improving daily, and FreeCouponByPhone can be another tool in your arsenal to stay a step ahead of your comepetition.
