Coupons You'd Like To See

Let's get some productive up in here. I'm not a huge fan of the current G coupon implementation, but not to the extent that I buy into the controversy flying across General right now. I just feel like straight G discounts is missing the mark. There's a heavy influence on existing spenders to hold out as long as possible in the hopes they can hoard cheap Gs. So this thread is to suggest alternatives.

I think instead of discounting Gs, which has a very "buy low, sell high" mentality to it, what if coupons were for store items instead? If a coupon makes an individual purchase more appealing, then the user may invest in the bottom G tier to take advantage of that discount. People who already have Gs are unaffected, unless they're really holding out for a specific discount, though that's not much different than how people wait for 50% off sales and BOGOs now. Here's some to kick it off.

  • BOGO coupon. Next hero or costume you buy comes with a free random hero or costume.
  • 90% off 1 costume. Damn near free, but you still have to buy that initial G investment to cash in on it. Very impulse buy stimulating, because almost everyone has their eye on at least one costume, but there's no need to hold out for it since you know another costume you want will always come along if you get the coupon later.
  • 90% off 1 hero. Same deal as above.
  • Free Random Fortune Card. Doesn't get you to buy Gs in itself, but damn if that failsafe currency won't entice a few people once the bait is set.

You get the idea. Coupons should stimulate impulse buying, not a hoarding or waiting mentality. And since not every coupon will appeal to every person who gets it, then these kinds of rewards can be given out far more liberally, without the huge profit loss that comes with someone buying $100 worth of Gs for $10. What other coupons would bend open your wallet?
