The best way to dispense promo codes?

[merlin]

Hi,
I'd like to send 15 promo codes to my newslist of 200 e-mails. The best solution I'd imagine would be if I'd just send a link to a site on which anybody can claim a promo code. That way I'd only give out a promo code to the users who want it.

Is there a solution like this? I've seen the promo code dispenser website, but it looks quite ugly and revolves about app reviews.. I don't need app reviews (I want people to e-mail me directly), I don't need a promotion through any site.. I just want to e-mail an url to my group of people.

Suggestions? THanks

Erm... need I say something?

The site being ugly is only your personal opinion.
You don't need reviews, others need them. You don't need to read them, but your users might be happy, if you showed them a cool website which they eventually want to use more often.

Why most developers are so f*** selfish ?

Oh come on, man. It was an honest feedback. Your site's design is not the prettiest, I can make a poll!

As for the site usability - it's quite nice for some people and some kinds of apps (I have one or two that I might put there). BUT the group of people I'm planning to mail are (among others) presidents of companies, highly paid professionals etc. If they need to spend more than 10 seconds to get a promo code, or they need to allow some app to publish on their FB wall - it's not worth it for them. AND I want to give them a streamlined experience - no distractions. My goal is to advertise the app & my company, not some other apps.

Where is the selfishness you see? I'm straightforward, that's all

You could try redeemcodes.com. It's a relatively new website, but I like to use it for this purpose.

You can send in a bunch of promocodes, and your apps get's featured for 1 day. If somebody wants your app they can claim a promocode. If there are more claims then promocodes it becomes a lottery. You will recieve the desired promocode via email the day after it has been featured.

Yes i've used it, and I did see a short increase of 50% in sales, but this is from 4 to 8 copies a day, so not significant .

But because the website is setup by Dutch developers, it has a allot of Dutch visitors and not so many US visitors (yet).

My app is targeted at the US market so I think my sales increase could have been better if I featured a Dutch or more international app.
