Customer Sign-up for Coupons, without creating account

Is there a way to create an easy form for visitors of my site to only have to enter their email address and they will be added to a distibution list where they can receive coupons? That way they are not required to enter all the information that is required to create an account?

Thanks

Create a separate newsletter for that specific purpose, add a sidebox (or some spot) on your site for visitors to enter their email address. Done.

Services which will make that very easy include MailChimp, aweber, constant contact, etc.

Do I have to use one of those services, or can Zencart do it?

How do I create seperate newsletter?

Thanks for the response.

Zen Cart has built-in support for ONE newsletter, and only for customers in your store who opt into it.

You said you want something for non-customers, so that's why I said what I said above.
