Re: Manufacturer Contact Forms That is one impressive list! I went through my kitchen and ads to figure out which brands/products we use, put them in a notebook and am now in the process of contacting 5-10 companies a day. As I contact each company I've been bookmarking them with the contact date so next time I just have to go through my bookmarks. :) This list is really helping me speed things up for the time being though!

Nothing too specific, just a one sentence thing. Then I'll ask for coupons at the end. If you don't ask, sometimes you'll just get a thank you note back, but if you do, you'll see coupons in the mail most of the time.
EX: I just love your products! I use Gulden's Spicy Mustard on my lunchtime sandwich almost daily. I really feel that your product is the best tasting mustard available today. Do you by any chance have any coupons you could send me in the mail?

Thanx! | I have a list I have contacted and as I receive coupons, I put a Y next to their name in my bookmarks. If 3 months goes by and I see nothing in the mail I generally take them off my contact list. Why waste time for nothing ya know?
So far I have received coupons from Tampax, Welch's, Turkey Hill, Freihofer's, Johnsonville, Heinz, Naysoya, Bird's Eye, Vlasic and Bumblebee. I have received emails from many others saying coupons are in the mail, but I hold off on a yes until I have them in hand. My favorite so far is definitely the Turkey Hill. I got about 10 coupons (half were $1/1) and 2 sweet magnets for my fridge. It even came with a handwritten note! |
