    I thought it would be handy to have a thread on what companies to email or write to for coupons. The ones that say yes, so you don't get disheartened by a lot a no's.
    Here's the companies that have been nice enough to help,

    1. Danone
    2. Big Al's
    3. Yazoo
    4. Denny
    5. Johnson&Johnson
    6. Kellogs
    7. Kilmeaden

    Does anybody else have any companies that are willing to post out coupons?

    There are usually contact emails on websites. There was some HB offer on here ages ago, a voucher for something like €3 for ice creams, you were supposed to be holding an "ice cream party" for kids of something along those lines.

    I had 3 at my party, me, my spoon & my belly :pac:

    It was Downe Syndrome Ireland & HB: all proceeds were to go to charity - so not really a bargain

    My ones were definitely not supposed to be for charity.

    This was one of the posts with the old link in it which is not working

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=72644495&postcount=55

    It said you would get 1.50 or 50 cent but I got €3 vouchers.

    This was a post from 2010

    I found a €3 HB voucher (that I got from an old thread on here), turns out it is only valid until today, so luckily I found it and got 2L for 28cent! I found the old link to the voucher is still working though, and from the URL it looks like it would be worth checking in the future too

    http://www.hbplaydates.ie/fun-food/money-off.html

    I do see the Down Syndrome Ireland links where you get vouchers and balloons etc.
    This is our second time to do this great promotional print job for Down Syndrome Ireland. They are a fantastic organisation and this is equally a fantastic promotion with HB supporting Down Syndrome Ireland. We produced letters, vouchers, invitations, posters, leaflets and certificates. You can register for your pack next year. All you do is organise an Ice Cream Funday, (an ice cream party) for your friends and family (you’ll be very popular!) and collect money for Down Syndrome on the day, send in your money and you’ll get a receipt and certificate! - See more at: http://www.printdepot.ie/portfolio/down-syndrome-hb-ice-cream-fundays/#sthash.gSF2T7x2.dpuf

    Just making clear I was not scamming a charity or anything.

    I am a faithful customer and i love purchasing your products although with a recession I am finding it hard not to switch to cheaper alternative products, if you have any coupons or vouchers i would be able to use that would be great. Even ones online I can print.

    My address is

    {Enter your address}

    Best Regards,
    {your name}

    Perhaps if lots of us emailed them and asked them to do more coupon promotions (like they do on extreme couponing in the usa) they would start doing them?

    I did this when the persil ones dried up, no one ever responded and I even wrote to PHS the company pigsback use - they never responded - I thought that maybe we could use the pulling power of the boards here - and comment back on the coupons available to the distributor or company - again no one was interested - I thought it would be useful - no point in offering a coupon for nothing or so i thought - I wrote to the big guns - proctor & gamble and a load of international companies that offer the mega USA coupons again to no avail,

    they dont care

    you know - instead of saying about the recession because recent research confirms we are coming out of it and that 80% now have more money to spend a moth as oppose to 2 years ago - give them something - dot ask for it for nothing,

    what i was considering was to get a varied consumer panel (use the BA thread) and tell them we will rate the products or give feedback or something in return for samples, money off, blah...

    What does anyone else think because it could be worth thinking more about it???

    Or write a complaint of some sort.

    I wrote Maltezers a year or so ago, when I bought a bag of the mini packs

    One pack had only 1 Maltezer in it, so I wrote how dissapointed my son was as these were for his treat, after school.

    I got E10.00 in vouchers and an apology.

    I agree actually, just two nights ago I started writing about times I found to be enjoyable while using their product and they are much more responsive to this :)

    Think i actually emailed them once asking about it but nothing happened, again, maybe if a lot of us send them email then they could consider that, after all most of the companies offering coupons/samples on their website are present on irish market too

    In college freshers week I signed up to be a knorr taster, at least I think it was knorr. I would get vouchers every few months to get the items for free in any supermarket, saving them post I suppose.

    I think I had some lighter stuff posted to me and some brand new or unreleased products. I had to fill out surveys and always did this, however they suddenly cut me off, they sent me 1 or 2 warning letters saying I did not respond to the last batch. I was pissed off as I was probably blacklisted, and always had replied, my sister also signed up and was getting them for years after me.

    You do realise that some of the companies you mention in this thread could be looking and scanning these posts and are most probably on to your little task of trying to get coupons from them? I mean to even include a template letter on how to ask it is a tad naive. Ireland being small, and the fact that companies like O2 and Tesco etc regularly browse these threads, its not a stretch to think the companies like HB etc do the same. It might be an idea to just keep these tips for vouchers to a private PM communication..

    Boycott their products from now on - brand loyalty works both ways.
