How to create and manage your own coupons

Creating coupons with Kieranslist.com is a blast. It's so easy.

Logging in to create or manage coupons:

1. Go to http://www.kieranslist.com/admin
2. Log in with your unique username and password. If you don't know it just drop me an e-mail at kieran@kieranslist.com and I'll make sure you can get in. The username & password IS CASE SENSITIVE. So make sure you are typing it in correctly.
3. When you are "IN" you'll see 3 links on the left. Management, Search and Reset Password. Click on "Management".
4. A new "blank coupon" pops up. This is one way to start creating a new coupon. There's one other way. In the upper right you'll see a drop down menu box that says "Manage Coupons". If you open that box you'll see one of the options is "Create New". This drop down box will list your coupons as well and this is where you'll open an individual coupon to update it.

Creating a new coupon - You're logged in - Have a blank coupon pulled up - Now What?

1. You'll see 4 tabs across the top. (main, locations-photo-bar code, color layout, proof). We'll work from left to right starting with MAIN.
2. Select your "category" and "subcategory" from the drop down menus.
3. Create a "title" for your coupon. example: Buy One Get One Free
4. Add "details". Max 150 characters. Example: Purchase one drink at regular price and receive the 2nd of equal or lesser value free
5. Add "disclaimers" - Examples - Coupon not valid with other offers. Good only for first time customers.
6. Add "coupon message" - This is where you can add the name of the Kieranslist.com subscriber to your coupon. Usually I put - "Coupon Valid for Premier Member [name]." In the name block the subscribers first and last name will appear on the coupon so you can use it as a tool to get to know YOUR customers.
7. Add "limits" - I would not limit anything except possibly "prints". If you only want a customer to use it one time you can put "1" in the print limits. Once that subcriber has printed your coupon one time they will not be allowed to print it again.
8. Add "dates" - When do you want your coupon to be active on our site?
9. Now go to "Locations, Photo and Bar Code" at the top of the coupon box
10. In "locations" you must select at least one to move to the right side. This is pretty simple if you only have one location but if you have multiple locations and only want to run a coupon at one or two of them you must choose with locations you want this coupon to be active for.
11. In "support photo's" you don't need to add anything...but you can. There are 2 boxes on the actual coupon where you can add 100 x 100 pics on the coupon. Before you do this you may want to contact me so I can walk you through it.
12. "Security Bar Code" - Don't need to do anything
13. On the bottom right you'll see "Create Coupon" - Click that button NOW. That makes your coupon LIVE on the site and it will automatically take you back to the MAIN page. But we aren't quite done.
14. Click on the "color layout" tab. Here you can change any colors on your coupon. I would suggest leaving the body of your coupon white and only changing the "header background and text".
15. After you make ANY changes you need to click the "update coupon" button in the lower right.
16. Click on the "proof" tab to view what your coupon looks like on the internet.

That's it! Once you make a couple you'll be a pro and it will only take a few minutes.

Managing coupons is just as simple. Just pull up any coupon in your system from the upper right drop down menu that says "manage coupons". Then make any changes you want...just remember to click "update coupon" when you are done.
