If you are new to Addicted to Saving’s daily post Emailing for Coupons, go HERE for more info and for a letter template.  Don’t forget to let me know once you receive coupons in your mailbox from the companies we email!

Today we will email Coffee-Mate.

I thought it would be fun to start a new daily post called Emailing for Coupons.  What we will do is email companies and give them our feedback –  both good and bad.  Manufacturers will often mail coupons out when you contact them! 

I will give you a head’s up – there is NO GUARANTEE that we will receive a coupon.  But, if we band together and email one company per day maybe we will all get lucky!  I will keep track of all the companies we email and will also keep track of what we received (if anything).  Every day I will post the company and the companies’ email address that we are emailing.  There is no need to mail them physical envelopes.  We will do everything online so that we don’t spend money on postage and so as to save time.

What do you think?  Does this sound fun?  Here’s what we will do, we will email one company per day – I will post a daily reminder about this.  In our letters to the company we email, we will include any personal feedback we can give.  For example, if I write a letter to Starkist Tuna, I will let them know that while I really enjoy their tuna, I was really disappointed when opened the plastic off of a four-pack that I purchased to find that one of the cans were partially open.  It smelled bad and of course the tuna was bad.  OR – if I write a company like Nabisco, I will tell them that I love the new Wheat Thin Stix.  They are super tasty and a fun snack to enjoy during the day.  Make sense?

And – to help you, I have created somewhat of a “form” letter.  Just make sure you type in your own thoughts and information.  I typed this “form” letter to help you save time.  I don’t want you guys spending a lot of time on this project.  Your goal is to type up and email your letter in a matter of just a few minutes a day.  And, don’t forget that the goal of this letter is to provide feedback – both good and bad.  So, use your own thoughts.  And, you don’t have to ask for a coupon.  The company will send coupons out voluntarily.
