Hello, not directly related to the Theme, but could you advise if it would be possible to add the facility for the business owners of the listings, mainly the Featured Listings to offer printable coupons, either as part of the theme or could you please advise on any plugins which could do this. This would be a great additional facility to be able to offer via the Featured Listings to encourage taking pain listings. Welcome any views, Thank you.
I also feel the addition of coupons would greatly enhance the attraction to this directory and monetization
Yes, printable coupons are a big PLUS with marketing today and having the means to offer the facility to Featured Paid Members would be a very big incentive to upgrade. I know and have a plugin to offer coupons on single WPress site but if anyone knows how to offer to all listings or knows of a paid plugin which could be activated only with paid members appreciate any views. Theme is getting there! Thank you everyone.
I agree with this too. I wish they would visit this again. I am currently switching over from directorypress and had to make and input the coupons myself. WP local places has a coupon function for business listings but they lack the social media functions that this theme has. Another function I like about WP is they have a coupon code function businesses can enter to get a discount on adding there business to the site. That would be a nice function with this theme to have too.
yes i agree with all the above - coupons are vital for gaining new business, both for us as a directory and for the businesses listed themselves
Any word on this? Built-in coupons is a must-have and should have been a core feature from the start. Can we get this??
Coupons on the theme would add massive value - either printable or 'mobile', perhaps with scannable QR code.
tobyb - i"m curious how you would use coupns on a directory. I know it would add value and an expansion of sales possibilites, but the actaul practical setup is not clear to me - please advise - thanks
I did find a plug in that works great to add printable coupons. It would be easier if it was a part of the theme. Maybe in a seperate tab Here is how the plug in looks on my website. You can view mine here http://www.shoplocallansing.com/coupons it is called the coupon creator. This is how I am using it on a listing page- http://shoplocallansing.com/listing/jersey-giant-subs-grand-ledge/
Hi K, many thanks for the information,I have just noticed your post, already asked on your other post, again you have a great looking site, as you say it would be worthwhile if this was incorporated into the theme and dare I say with a QR code for each listing Again many thanks.
Hi, forgive me for asking again, would that plugin be the paid version coupon generator, checked it but the coupons are different? Thanks
I got curious about other ways to add coupons - I found this WP Coupon Generator plug in - looks cool. Anyone used it?
Hi and thank you, I have used that plugin, a really good one which can be set for times to expire, generates QR code for each coupon, but you would have to use it separately for each listing, looking one to integrate into the theme that would have the facility to generate a coupon plus QR code as maybe an extra facility to the listings. Some themes already have this so the technology is there to develop into this theme. Is is a bit like a theme now having to be responsive to mobiles , not an option now but essential and this facility is now an essential item needed to compete staying in front. There is a competitor with this theme and now they have responded to making their theme responsive because of this theme capabilities. So it would make sense to add the Coupon and QR code to make this a leader in Directory themes. Cheers2All
Support - What are your thoughts on this? Many members have commented on this. It would put you way ahead of the competition. Add GEO Location and you are the only one in the race!
