Page That Lists All Coupons?

What if a store has multiple coupons and wants to let the customer choose which one they want to use? Does anyone know if there's a way to list all the available coupons to choose from on one page? For example, if someone clicks the "Discount Coupons" link the the "Information" sidebox, I'd like to either have a list on that actual page, or a link that says "View Current Coupons" below the "Look-up Discount Coupon" field.

A related question: does anyone know how to directly link a coupon (the page that pulls up when you actually "look up" the discount coupon code?)

Thanks!

Re: Page That Lists All Coupons?

Typically coupons are created for tracking advertisement effectiveness (i.e. linked to the medium in which the ad appears) or targeted towards a specific group of customers, so you wouldn't really want to advertise them generally.

If discounts are available generally, you may want to consider sales or specials instead - these are much more visible ways to discount.

Re: Page That Lists All Coupons?

Well, in my situation, I have made the coupon to attract customers in the first place. I am tracking the effectiveness of my advertising methods with my sitemeter account and seeing where they come from when they enter my site. From there I can tell if they came from my craigslist, myspace, facebook, etc. ad.

Still, in short though, I need to know if a page with all the coupons listed is possible. What I'd really like to do, essentially, is this:

Either create an E-Z page or have the information bellow the Discount Coupon info and create little banners for each one. When they click on the banner for the coupon they want to use, it will take them to the page with all the coupon information on it (the same page you see when you type in the coupon code in the Discount Coupon page.) Ideally, that's what I'd like to do anyway. But I'd like to know if it's possible. In order to do that, I need to be able to do two things: have a page that lists all the available coupons (preferably list them on the Discount Coupons page), and link each coupon individually so when clicked, the customer can view all the information on it. OR... (just had a thought!) if linking a coupon directly isn't possible, I'd could create a little popup that has all the information it it.

But I'd still like to know if directly linking coupon information pages is possible, so I can link banners to them.

Thanks!
