Sydney-based Tjoos.com, one of the world’s largest online coupon sites, has launched its Merchant Portal, allowing online stores to add their store information and coupons directly to the site.

Typically, online coupon sites act as pure aggregators of discount/sales coupon information from all over the Internet. Adding the merchant portal allows Tjoos to formalise the coupon distribution process and will no doubt help them to create stronger relationships with the retailers who provide them.

Tjoos plans to leverage these relationships into exclusive coupon deals by providing incentives, such as a home page feature and ongoing premium listing, for those retailers who offer exclusive coupons for Tjoos’ visitors.

Bart Jellema, co-founder of Tjoos.com says “We are excited to connect with merchants and give them a place to get the word out about their coupons while at the same time help our users find excellent value deals.”  

Tjoos.com has the Internet’s largest collection of verified online coupons and gets around 250,000 unique visitors a month. The company was founded in 2007 with the mission of making online shopping easier and more transparent for consumers and merchants alike.

The merchant portal further helps Tjoos position itself as a quality service leader in the sometimes smutty world of traffic-hungry coupon sites. This focus on quality of service (you can read more about why they’re different in an earlier post we did on them) will no doubt help them continue their stellar growth.
