| I would like to suggest that BrickLink add a coupon field to checkout in each
store.
We already have 1-to-1 coupons and the ability to put our stores items on sale,
but what we need to be like the rest of the internet is a coupon code field.
Every week I send code words to my customer base for different special offers
and sales. The best I can do right now is ask for them to use that code in the
Comments To Seller field upon checkout. I then have to see that they used the
word and apply the discount manually.
I think it would be fantastic if sellers could manage their active coupon codes,
the duration of the coupon, the discount amount, and the code text itself, then
anyone who knows the code can use it within the timeframe that it is active.
I would love to hear your thoughts as I think this is sorely needed for any stores
who are trying to do repeat business with customers.

Instead of creating coupons you send your mailing list members an actioncode
each week and you suggest BL to invest in creating an actioncode field at checkout.
It sounds like you're using the mailing list as mass coupon instead of announcements:

Don't know what a mailchimp is, but sending unsolicited emails can be considered
as spamming. It's a selectable reason to report under the Problem tab.
It's a clever way of promoting sales without having to create coupons.
I would vote no as sellers should equally play by the BL rules of promotion.
BL should not encourage mass emailing to former customers.

| I have a clause in my terms stating that ordering from my store means you consent
to be added to a mailing list. Anyone can opt out of this mailing list at any
time. I don't see a problem with trying to bring more sales to BrickLink.
I looked at BrickLink's mailing list function and it is very simplistic.
I would rather take things into my own hands and use a service like MailChimp
where I have 10x the list that I do on BrickLink.

That may not be in compliance with Mailchimp's terms, nor with Canada's
Anti-Spam Legislation (which you are required to follow if you are sending any
of this emails to Canada).

| They you can easily opt out. Only those who have purchased from my store get
added to the list, not everyone on BrickLink. That would definitely be spam.
Never mind what I am doing with my customers' emails. This should be a vote
on if there should be mass coupons or not. I know all of the forum readers here
love to pick things to death. Focus on the actual suggestion.

I voted yes to the suggestion. But that doesn't change the criticisms about
what you are currently doing. This isn't picking things to death, this is
letting you know that what you are doing is potentially against the law, and
against Mailchimp's terms.

| It looks like BL needs a way to create generic coupons that anyone can use.
Having to make a coupon for each user is a waste of time.
