The Dotted Line
The Smartest Ways to Save!
|
December 2006
|
|
|
It's the most wonderful time of the year! As I reflect
back on 2006, I am grateful for all the people who
have contributed to our growth as a company. I look
forward to what the New Year will bring!
That's a wrap! The DRTV spot filming is finished and
is
in the editing phase right now. It was an amazing
experience to say the least. A team of 17 people
pulled together to create what will be our first
nationally broadcast marketing campaign.
I
travelled to Boonton, NJ to shoot the spot which is
the headquarters for the company who
is producing the spot. To see all the behind the
scenes details and talent it takes to direct and
create
just 2 minutes of material gives me a new
appreciation for the film making industry! We are
shooting for airing right after Christmas and I
will let you know soon the exact dates and times.
A special thanks to all the great staff at Razor & Tie
and Concepts TV for the teamwork and support. I
am looking forward to seeing the final spot go live.
In honor of this season of giving, we have
selected a Couponizer of the
Month who shares her story of giving savings to
others and to herself!
Wishing you a meaningful celebration of faith this
Christmas season and peace in the New Year,
Amy Bergin, Wife, Mother and President, The Couponizer Company

TIP - Make a Gift Giving List
The Benefits of Writing Down the Gifts You Will Give This Holiday Season
He's making a list and checking it twice...
Even Santa makes a gift giving list! The
first thing you do when making your list is decide on
your spending limit!! This will guide you in making
purchases that support your overall spending goal.
Here's
why I feel making a list is an important thing to do
this time of
the year:
- PROVIDES a roadmap to achieving meaningful
giving within your means
- PREVENTS scope creep - what I mean by that is
getting just one more little something for
someone
- PRESERVES your goal of spending within your
limits
- PRIORITIZES shopping - check off what is done
so
you can move on to the next item
- PLACES a record of what you gave for future
reference
If you have already started this list, then hooray for
you! If you have not, then make time to sit down to
record the shopping you have already done and what
is left to finish. This process takes very little time
and will give you a huge payoff. It will guide
you
towards success in giving the people in your life
meaningful gifts while maintaining balance in your
bank account.
In case you need a list...a spiral bound colorful Gift
Giving list is included in the Giftionizer system along
with a Gift Tracker pad which proves a place to
record gifts received. These list pads can be used
year round to record any gift giving event. A refill
pack of these lists can be purchased separately for
$3.95

TOOL - Online Shipping Calculators
A shipping tool to save you time and money!
Sending holiday greeting cards and packages as well
as waiting in line at the post office or shipping store
are a yearly ritual for most everyone. These days it
is smart to check out postage rates before ordering
or sending anything!
While online shopping has
made it easier to have someone else to worry about
shipping, you pay for that! Online shipping charges
can have extra fees added in
as another way to make money and if you are not
careful, you end up paying a fortune in just
shipping!
Try using an online shipping calculator to estimate
shipping charges and in some cases print your own
shipping labels for pick-up at home.
USPS Postal
Calculator
UPS - Calculate Time and Cost
FedEx - Sign up for an
account with a 15% discount
Shipping a LARGE quantity? Consider using a Freight
company. Click here for a FREE freight

I use the USPS Click N'
Ship tool and it is so
easy! All you need is the weight
of the package, shipping address and a printer!
You may securely save addresses online as well as
your credit card information for
easy access.
Save yourself money and stress by getting your
out of town gift shopping and shipping done FIRST!

The Couponizer of the Month
Sonya Womble - Trussville, Alabama
I received the Couponizer as a gift . I was already a
coupon clipper but didn't always take them to the
store before they expired. Most of the times it took
too long for me to sort them out, or even figure out
what order I should use to place them in the
envelope I carried, with the Couponizer the guess
work was taken away no more racking my brains
trying to figure out where to put them, and no more
trying to keep them in order. With the Couponizer I
was able to keep all the coupons in the correct order
and keep them from all falling out of my old standby
the envelope.
My first trip with the
Couponizer I went home with $98.41 in groceries
which cost me $46.07, I saved $52.34 Just so you
know this is not a fluke. I have been able to save at
least 30% or more on my bill everytime I go to the
store.
As for the money I have saved, it is
going in three accounts Christmas fund, saving fund,
and let's blow it for fun fund, LOL. It also paid for my
daughter to do cheerleading this year (that's her in
the picture). I also can tell
you all my coupon friends and family will have a
Couponizer under the tree for them this year . Thank
you Couponizer for a wonderful product.
--------------------------------------------------
Thanks Sonya! I hope your family and friends enjoy
their gift of
a Couponizer as much as you have all throughout the
New Year! I am proud of your dedication to smart
spending and savings. Keep up the great work!
Send us your story of savings with The Couponizer
and if selected, you could be The Couponizer of
the Month!
