Hey PHers, A few months back, we worked on this CouponHub for a hackathon. A few hiccups later, we are opening the platform up for everyone. With the advent of e-commerce and multiple UPI-based payment apps, there has been a proliferation of Coupons that the brands have been sending out to entice users to their platform. As such, a lot of these coupons generally go to waste as a vast majority of the population does not use them. While this creates friction for the user as they do not get the coupons that they'd want to use, it also panders to the businesses, who find that their coupons are not reaching the intended audience. Additionally, there are multiple coupon codes that can be used multiple times by multiple users. We are trying to build a platform to facilitate trading coupons so that you give away the coupon you have and receive one from the brand that you want. This problem would continue to grow. At some stage, the growth hack associated with sending out coupons to entice a paying user into your fold would drop off due to this massive amount of value going to waste because of wasted targeting efforts and a lack of an organized platform to make trades. In the future, this platform has the potential to grow into a formal marketplace for coupons, a peer-to-peer Groupon would be a good analogy and create a new channel for companies to pump their marketing budgets into. Furthermore, you as a user would be able to make use of this platform and get the coupons you want, and not just the ones that the world has dealt out to you. Cheers, Shuvam

Yes, that's a good idea. It always hurts me when I don't have time to use the coupons, and they go to waste. It'd be great to swap them with something. I recently used a coupon on ohub and bought a new piece of jewelry, but I didn't have time to use the coupon for Walmart, and it had already expired. Your platform is very beneficial even for companies that issue coupons because some of their coupons remain unused. If people who need these coupons exchange their unnecessary ones, the companies will get more customers.

Sorry but I think this kind of coupon sharing is already available on the Internet. When I type "coupon for brand A B C" a bunch will appear. Can you tell me what makes you different?

@nhung_nguyen7 you are correct. Once we had the idea and started building this, we found out there were plenty of similar services around. We went ahead and built it anyway because - a. Building this was fun. Especially playing around with a design aesthetic I had always wanted to use in production. b. We had to submit something at the hackathon we were making it for, hence 😄
