Coupon Monster v2.0 Improvements and Other News
Posted under: Crew & Staff, News by Max
Since Coupon Monster has began, we've been busy lookin for all of the best discounts and coupon codes. As our audience has expanded, we've also made efforts to update the site for better usability, making minor adjustments here and there. However, some 5 months ago the decision was made that it was time for a major update to the site. This update has just een implemented and we'd love to know what you think!
Improved Search
Now, when you search for a store on Coupon Monster, you'll automatically receive store suggestions, very similar to Google's instant search. Additionally, you'll no longer be limited to just store results-the new search will give you access to products and brands as well.
New Newsletter
The daily newsletter with new coupons has been done away with in favor of a weekly newsletter which will only include the week's very best promotions! We've found it was sometimes overwhelming with the vast number of coupon codes and promotions we have added, so now the newsletter will be more straightforward and easier to read.
Top 10 Lists
On the home page, you'll notice we have two "top 10" lists which promote our best offers and coupons, so you won't always need to search for the best deals. Additionally, we have a listing of our top 10 and most popular stores for your convenience.
More Visuals
We've added the store logos on the home page and throughout the site, as it is often times easier to recognize a store or brand by its logo than it is to scan through a bunch of text. We hope this will help users more easily identify the stores they prefer to shop with and find the relevant coupon codes for them!
Exclusive Offers
We know there is increased value in having exclusive offers for the stores whom we work with, so we've decided to add additional emphasis to these exclusive stores. The hope is that by publicizing the exclusives in a brighter light, our partners will be more inclined to offer them to us and, in turn, we'll be able to bring you more savings!
Store Section
The store section has been upgraded with some new features. We know our visitors hate paying shipping, so we've added a "free shipping" logo to the stores to help identify those which offer free delivery to customers. Additionally, you'll also be able to see how many current deals are offered at a particular store, if they are "hot," and if they are exclusive to Coupon Monster.
What's Next?
There are even more updates to come, but unfortunately, we can't reveal all of the details at the moment. All we can say is you can look forward to more improvements coming soon, and bigger and better things from Coupon Monster!
