Are You Using Text Coupons? 10 Stores to Get You Started

September 14, 2012

Text coupons are a totally convenient, easy way to stay connected to your favorite stores/eateries and their latest sales and promotions. When you sign up for your favorite store’s text messaging service, you’ll get savings opportunities fast, and, most of the time, you don’t even need a smart phone to use them.

Text coupons usually come with a code and a short expiration date. Here’s one I received for Jo-Ann Fabrics yesterday:

A lot of times, a retailer’s text coupons won’t be much different than those you can find in print, online, or in the store’s own app. This is the case with the above Jo-Ann coupon. But some stores, like Target, offer great, exclusive savings through their text messaging services. Target text coupons are cool because they send you to a website, where you can see what you’re saving on and your cashier can scan a special bar code.

The great thing about all text coupons is that they’re loud. They let you know when they’re there without any effort on your part. You don’t have to go digging for text coupons like other offers in print ads, smart phone apps, or online. Text coupons really make it impossible not to save.

Here are ten great retailers you should be getting text messages from now:
