So you’ve decided to use a coupon to promote your business (Hopefully on DartzDeals…but hey, we know you have options). Now what?

Coupons are great for promoting your business to new customers who, otherwise, may have never visited your business. They are also great to thank your loyal customers for their business. But one of the most overlooked benefits of coupons is the opportunity to gather information.

Information can help you track who your new and existing customers are, where they live, what they enjoy/dislike and what the word around town is about your business. You can also ask permission to contact them about future promotions and start building a database of customers.

An idea: ask your customers to fill out a short survey when they use your coupon. As a reward for filling out the survey, offer them another coupon to encourage repeat business.

Keep your surveys short. Customers should be able to fill them out in one minute or less.

Here are some examples of questions a restaurant (We’ll call it Dartz Diner) may ask it’s customers:

What is your name? Email? Zip Code?

How did you learn about Dartz Diner?

Is this your first time dining at Dartz Diner?

How would you rate your experience at Dartz Diner?

What did you like or dislike about the service, food and decor?

Will you be a returning diner?

These are just some examples of questions you can ask your customers. For Yes or No questions allow guests to circle their choice rather than writing it in, they will appreciate the seconds of time saved.

Have someone reliable and accurate enter the information into a database. Even a program like Excel will work to store data and track patterns.

Coupons are a great way to get measurable results, but if you want these results to last you need to know your customers and their needs. You need to have a conversation with your customers.

Daily Deal sites don’t provide you any information about your customers. What good is that? DartzDeals can provide business’s with basic demographic information about their customers such as name, email, zip code, gender and what categories they are interested in.
