Coupon Sherpa: Saving Trees With a New iPhone App

Instead of having to print out coupons or clip them from mailers, you can just get the store clear to scan your iPhone. "In the future, an increasing amount of coupons will be presented on mobile devices, and that will be great for the environment". ²

Coupon Sherpa is the new iPhone app that allows shoppers to access in-store coupons on their iPhone or iPod Touch. Available for $1.99, the Coupon Sherpa app offers discounts for more than 100 participating retailers including Bloomingdales, GNC, JCPenney, Kmart, Office Depot, TGI Friday's and Walgreens. We believe this is the future of shopping, " says Luke Knowles, who created Coupon Sherpa with his brother, Jesse Knowles. " A friend of ours mentioned that he longed for the day when many in-store coupons would be available on the iPhone. For example, Jackson Hewitt offers a coupon for 25 percent off tax preparation (which could come in handy right now). According to a report by the nonprofit group ForestEthics, "mail advertisements create 51.5 million metric tons of greenhouse gases each year". "Retailers who become involved now, when the trend is new, can differentiate themselves from their competition" ¹
