Picking up on the social network I noticed some speak about Coupons coming to Google Adwords and soon found my way to this post on adwords.blogspot.com

Addition of coupons is going to be an awesome addition to Adwords for e-Commerce businesses whose Shopping Cart software can already support Coupon Discounts. From this post it seems that major advertising agencies are already getting an early move on the action with favourable results.

Addition of Coupons is an interesting move, as it seems that Google is trying to emulate the offline media where paper-based coupons have been years for many years. It's going to be interesting to see how businesses take to this enhancement. In theory the learning or adaptation curve should be non-existant as businesses and consumers already understand the concept.

The new Adwords templates are designed to be as near realistic versions of paper-based coupon systems. As with "traditional Adwords", Google has made creating and modifying Coupons ads very easy. Sounds strange to refer to the typical "Adwords" adverts as traditional when we are speaking of adding Coupon adverts which have been around long before Adwords was even thought of.

I have not had a reason to use Adwords Coupons yet, but I am sure I will find some reason to apply them in the future as I have wanted to do this on previous projects. Our shopping carts already support coupons so I guess I will be hacking away and trying it out this weekend.

TheWebDesignCompany has been busy building the PhoNet Vox Dealer websites. PhoNet Vox Dealers are Vox Telepreneurs who have joined the Vox Telepreneur business by way of signing up under the PhoNet Vox Telepreneur Dealership .

PhoNet has given the first 30 people who have signed up under the PhoNet Vox Dealership a free website to help promote their Vox telepreneur business. The websites each have a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and are built on the Open Source Content Management System called Joomla.

The PhoNet Vox Dealer websites enable the Telepreneurs within the PhoNet Vox Dealership network to promote their businesses online. The websites display relevant information about the Vox Products and explain a variety of solutions. The sites also introduce the Vox Telepreneur business opportunity and make use of online video hosted on YouTube.com to explain the Vox Products and Business.

People interested in becoming customers or dealers can register to the PhoNet Vox Dealer website to download a Vox Application form. The website also uses an autoresponder to send newly registered users a welcome message with the Vox application form attached.

The Vox ADSL Telephone Products enable customers to make cheap calls using  VoIP. Customers can realize significant savings of up to 50% on their Telkom or MTN, CELL-C or Vodacom telephone bill.

TheWebDesignCompany has also developed a Vox Cost Savings Calculator that people can use to calculate how much they can save on their telephone bills when they use Vox as their Voice Carrier. The calculator takes into consideration call of the Vox Telephony products , including the Vox ADSL Phone and Vox ADSL PBX systems.

The Websites also use Google Analytics to track and monitor hits. Also included in the sites is the use of XML technologies such as Google Web Maps and RSS Feeds for syndication of website content into search engines such as Google and Yahoo.

Thanks to the flexibility and ease of use provided by Joomla, the PhoNet Vox Dealers can optionally customize and manage their own websites if they wish. If not then the website is managed by TheWebDesignCompany.

The offer of a Free PhoNet Vox Dealer website was eagerly accepted by people wanting to become Vox Telepreneurs and the first 30 websites were all grabbed within the first two weeks of launching the PhoNet Vox Dealership.

Following this free offer, it is still possible for people wanting to sign-up as a Vox Telepreneur under the PhoNet Vox Dealership to get a PhoNet Vox Dealer Website . Anyone who becomes a dealer by way of  PhoNet can rent a PhoNet Vox Dealership website for a low annual fee. TheWebDesignCompany assists registered PhoNet Vox Dealers to choose a co.za domain name and provides the hosting.
