I will admit that I have bought those coupon books and they end up collecting dust.
MYTMC is a simple to use FREE mobile phone app that gives you fantastic coupons/deals from local and national businesses around your geographic location and its all right there at your finger tips because as we all know, that mobile device is like a body part. Get the app, you won't be disappointed.
But they also deserve cudos for a great promotion to help launch the app as they have teamed up with some former Big Brother stars in Evel Dick, Porche and Janelle and are throwing a season finale party with these three stars and the only way you can attend is download the app.
It is a great example of using local radio and social media for the event. Check out their facebook page.

Social coupon sites
The three popular sites are Groupon, LivingSocial and SocialBuy.
Before you jump in with both feet, do the math. Look at your margins and see if the deep discounts are worth it.
If you are a new business, do you want to start building your brand as a discounter?
If business is hurting you might be tempted to discount but its likely a short term fix for whats ailing.
There are pros and cons to coupons.
Know why it should be part your marketing mix and not because its the flavor of the day.

QR Codes
Quick Response Codes.
Wikipedia describes it as a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR Barcode reader and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data. Common in Japan, where it was created by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.
QR codes can be a great coupon alternative.
Think cross promotions. Say you own a number of restaurants, you can use the QR code on table tops to promote your other restaurant specials.
The opportunities are endless. You will need a QR code scanner. Blackberry has its own scanner and you can find others at, www.scanlife.com or http://www.i-nigma.com/CreateBarcodes.html.
Download and have some fun.
