CouponSnapshot Shares the Most Popular Kinds of Online Promotions - Dollars-off and Percent-off Coupons, BOGO, and Free Shipping

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Shopping online has become more convenient than running out to the stores, but it has also gained an advantage in cost-effectiveness when shopping at thousands of online retailers. Most of these merchants offer valuable online coupon codes and promotional codes where shoppers can save money either as a percent-off, dollars-off, or free shipping promotion. Buy-one, Get-one (BOGO) offers and similar deals and discounts also have become popular as another way that consumers can get more bang for their buck. CouponSnapshot, a money-saving website offering consumers an easy way to find coupon codes and discounts for online shopping, offers all of these types of promotions and more, helping consumers to save money when shopping online, especially around the holidays.

In connection with the eHoliday Survey by Shop.org, the National Retail Federation expects that 9 in 10 online retailers will offer free shipping offers, "one of consumers' most anticipated and favorite holiday promotions," according to their research. Many of these merchants have also upped their budgets for the free shipping promotions and about a third of the shops plan to kick off their free shipping offers earlier this year than last year. Free shipping codes are just one of the many money-saving offers available for free to consumers online at CouponSnapshot.com. These offers will tie in nicely with the December 16 "Free Shipping Day" global promotion that guarantees delivery before Christmas.

"We have found many of our visitors enjoy certain types of coupons that we offer at CouponSnapshot.com," says CouponSnapshot's Marketing Director. "The percent-off, dollars-off, and free shipping coupons are among the most used coupons to date. We always encourage shoppers to search for an online coupon code before putting in any payment information. Many times our members enjoy savings in the double digits, $25 off a purchase at HP, $50 off at Toshiba, and nearly unlimited savings with our percent-off coupons, which usually range from 5% off up to 30% off or more."

The eHoliday Survey by Shop.org and the National Retail Federation found that a number of consumers would prefer to pay a little bit more to shop online to alleviate the stress of comparing prices across brick-and-mortar stores, and of course, to avoid fighting the crowds. The survey also found free shipping offers to be a common factor in tipping the scales in favor of shopping online around the holidays.

All of the most popular kinds of coupons and promotional offers are available at CouponSnapshot, which recently announced partnerships with more than 16,000 merchants on the Internet, as well as thousands of daily coupon updates. The website boasts more than 60,000 online coupon codes and deals that are free for shoppers to use for their Internet purchases. Freebies are also a common offering, with recent specials including free recipes or a free Federal Tax Return from H&R Block.

"We have been monitoring coupon usage to determine a favorite kind of coupon so we can seek out and offer even more of those," says CouponSnapshot's CEO. "We've been pleased to see that our wide selection of brands and online coupon types gives our visitors the power to save almost anytime they make a purchase online. As always, we welcome feedback from our members on what coupons they've found to be valuable, what they'd like to see offered more frequently, and any other general comments they would like to share."
