Frequently Asked Questions for Merchants

Which areas does DealBk currently serve?

We launched in January 2010. We are currently serving Austin, TX and will expand to other major cities soon.

How will DealBk be advertised to the consumers?

We are advertising heavily for our merchants online and in areas around The University of Texas.

What is a best way to increase the effectiveness of my ads?

DealBk is a social application. Customers can easily email their friends and family about a deal and share them on Facebook and Twitter. The best way to let your ads spread is to create attractive coupons and specials and share them with people around you.

How many deals can I create?

We are allowing two deals per merchant at this time. More deals per merchant will come later with upgraded accounts.

Can I disable sms coupons?

Yes, the option is at the botom of the coupon and sales special creator.

Can I disable mobile web coupons?

No, we believe the future of coupons will be best served on the mobile web. We encourage our advertising merchants to embrace this platform.

How can I make sure that the same people don't use the coupon again?

We will roll out the coupon tracking features for upgraded accounts soon. Even so, replication of digital and print media cannot be fully prevented. Please be vigilant of the customers using your coupons.
