Emerge - Mama Trek Text Message Coupon Program

Welcome Merchants!

We want to promote local businesses by making it easy for moms to take advantage of special offers in your stores. Our coupon rate is simple. The price of one coupon is $55. Subscriptions for more have a discount. We will be sending out coupons each week, grouped by neighborhood. The list of text-message recipeints is being built by our merchant subscribers using sign-up sheets in their stores.

Step 3: Wait for us to send you your log-in information

Upon making your purchase, we will provide you with log-in information to your account via e-mail. The account activation is done manually, so it may take a day or two. You can log in from the home page. You will be able to schedule coupons, review the subscriber list, and view coupon metrics for the entire program.

Step 4: Promote the program in your store

Invite your customers to sign up for the program. We can provide you with sign-up postcards. You will enter those cards into our system as they come in.

Step 5: Plan and strategize your coupon program

We would like merchants in a neighborhood to coordinate coupons so that a shopper can come to the area and browse. You can get ideas from the DRAFT coupon schedule below, or by talking to neighboring merchants. A nice shopping experience would be, for example, a take-out kids treat with purchase of coffee at the cafe, story telling at the book store while mom shops, then a free balloon at the gift shop, kids eat free at a restaurant, etc.. This will make an extended stay in the area comfortable and fun for families on the run or with kids in-tow. This is only a suggestion. You can have other shopping experience ideas. We would like to promote the $2 walk-out coffee, which would mean walking a cup of coffee out to a mom so that she doesn't have to unload her kids from the car.
