Wow, emailing companies really does pay off!

I've only done it a few times, and I decided to write to One A Day to see if they would send me a coupon for prenatal vitamins, since those are the ones I have been using this pregnancy.  Someone responded the very next day to let me know they would send me a full value coupon.  That was only a few days ago, and today I received a coupon for a free bottle of One A Day vitamins ($20 value!), as well as a coupon book with various $1 off coupons. I went to CVS tonight and bought two bottles, which would normally be $40, and I paid nothing because I had the coupon, they were having a BOGO 50% of sale, and I had extra care bucks.  Woo hoo!  :-)

    That's awesome!

    I emailed Starbucks and asked for coupons and got an attitude from the customer service person and that was it.  Then I called and that didn't get me anything either.  They suck.  If I didn't love their stupid coffee so much, I'd be switching because I'm so annoyed that they couldn't send me a few freaking coupons.

    What do you say in your e-mails to the companies?  Just ask if they would send you coupons?  I need to start doing this!

    I just started doing this. MrsPreK sent me the list she used and I went from there. I've gotten a bunch of coupons and coupons for FREE Fantastik, Sweet Baby Rays, Dannon, All, and Colgate Wisp. I just use the same email for every company. I start out with saying how much my family enjoys their product. Then I give a specific example of what I use and like. Then I ask for coupons! It's maybe 4 sentences long and I just copy and paste. It's time consuming, but pays off.

    What do you put in the subject of your emails?

    All I do is Google a company I like.  Then there's normally a "contact us" link.  There's usually a form they have you fill out so there's really no subject line.
