IQoupon - Coupons to Your Mobile Phone

Our Mission Statement

To be the premiere mobile couponing network offering relevant savings to the smart and savvy shopper while taking all the hassle out of finding and redeeming coupons.

Who We Are

Two long time friends got together about once a week to discuss politics, the economy, technology, and other potential life disruptive topics of conversation. About a year and many potential collaboration ideas later, IQoupon was born.

Our vision is to evolve the consumer’s shopping experience, through a smart and intuitive interface, with great deals all resulting in the shopper’s ability to save money.

What We Do

We want to offer a place for smart shoppers to go, so we’ve built a simple and intuitive interface that allows users to find great deals, save money, and to be rewarded for being a smart shopper. IQoupon helps you locate the best deals and offers around and simplifies your shopping experience by sending the coupons directly to your mobile phone.

We believe that everyone should get a great deal and if you don’t think you’re a smart shopper now, spend a little time with us and we’re pretty confident you will be one soon enough. There are so many deals out there and why shouldn’t everyone have access to them? We guarantee that with just a little effort, you’ll be well on your way to saving tons of money. When you save up enough money for that trip that you’ve always wanted to take, you can thank us by sending us a postcard.

Why We Do It?

Frankly speaking there are a few reasons to why we do what we do:

Have you ever spent your time cutting out coupons? Makes you feel good about yourself thinking you’ll be saving money for a change instead of wasting it right? When you go to the store, what usually happens? You end up paying full price anyway because you forgot to bring the coupons you clipped out. And when you actually remember to bring them, the coupons are usually expired anyway and you end up asking yourself why you even bothered spending all that time clipping or you try to convince yourself that you’ll remember to bring them with you next time.

Everyone enjoys a good deal – it doesn’t matter how much you make or how big your stock portfolio is worth. At the end of the day, it’s in our human nature and inherent for us to want a better price or to find a better deal than what’s being offered. And for those people who disagree with this simple philosophy – they will probably never find their way onto this site and we thank them for pumping extra dollars into our economy.

But for the rest of us, it’s the principle of saving a dollar or two or the very notion of getting a better deal with very little effort that makes IQoupon so valuable to who we like to call ‘the smart shopper’. It doesn’t take that much effort to click on a few buttons. It’s not rocket science folks – do you want to save money? Good, if so – you came to the right place because we thrive on finding those deals for you and used our design expertise, knowledge of what customers want, and our own personal shopping experiences to build a site that allows you to have a little fun while saving a lot of money. But we must warn you – we built our site to not only be valuable to customers, but to be a little addictive so you’ll keep coming back.

In the age of convergence, we thought we’d make your life easy by bringing the ease of saving money by leveraging the power of the internet, the reach of your cell phone, and the convenience of making it all happen without you having to ever worry about it.

How We Do It?

Well, with a little help from you by registering with us for our free service, we will bring you great coupon savings based on your shopping preferences. Tell us a little about yourself and we’ll go out and find you the best deals out there. The more you tell us about yourself, the better deals we’ll be able to find for you. Don’t worry, we don’t need to know any of your deep dark secrets, just little everyday things about you that will help us know what things you like.

Then IQoupon takes it from there. After setting up your preferences, our IQ engine searches for the best deals and coupons for you.

Your profile preferences will result in all the deals and coupons that will automatically be placed into your MYIQ. We will remind you when they are about to expire, remove them for you when they do, and even replace them with comparable coupons when they become available so that you will always get the best deals around. If you prefer to manage your own coupons, feel free, cause we’ve made that process pretty simple too.

As an IQoupon member, you can search for the best deals by category, brand, item, store, or location. Keep those scissors in your desk because you won’t have to print or cut them out. We’ve made it easier by offering one click access that sends the coupons directly to your mobile phone so that you will have them whenever you shop and wherever you go. It’s as easy as that! And doesn’t it make you feel better that you’re saving a tree in the process?

A Few Other Cool Things We Do

IQoupon also gives you the ability to share the great deals you find with your friends. Share your coupon finds with those your love; I’m sure they’ll return the favor when they do as well. Better yet, when you share coupons with them, you will get more chances to win free cool stuff. You know what your friends and family members are into, so who better to get coupon recommendations from? If they redeem the coupons you send them, you’ll get rewarded for your good deeds. Not a bad deal right?
