From Québec with Love

Hello,

I'm new here after lurking on the site for a bit. Now, however, I'm ready to participate. This isn't an introduction thread though...

I work for a big Canadian corporation based out of Québec and let's just say that I do a lot of work in consumer goods. Something that most people are aware of is that Québec has different tastes from Ontario--as does BC, Alberta, or really any place in this beautiful country. One remarkable difference with Québec is that we're they only province where corporate marketers (like myself :twisted:) will advance certain product lines over others and this has everything to do with the cost of printing French coupons versus English coupons blah blah blah.

The translation: we have tons of coupons that won't ever make it out of our province, for products that anglophone Canada may already enjoy but for which they're trying to grow the market in Québec.

How do we save money with this knowledge? Starting a discussion: if we can figure out which coupons are being issued where, we can trade and profit.

We can also use this thread to talk about different marketing strategies we've seen at various points and different strategies to benefit from said strategies.

D'ailleurs, je parle français et j’espère que personne soit gêné de m'écrire un PM en français. ;)

And don't make fun of my english either. ;)

In any case, check out the coupons that I offer and maybe you'll see something you don't have on your side of the St-Lawrence.

thanks for posting, we do have a site for trading already so with posting them people will trade, we do it lots already. Some coupons from Quebec can only be used there like the Jane printed products, but l love trade with people in Quebec.

I think a lot of people don't want French coupons unfortunately.

Many of our coupons are bilingual, as we are not only French over here ;)

Hi!

Have you already look at the SC scan thread?

http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/174557-...-skank-canada/

SCer that are able scan and void the coupon they found, so other SCer know what is out there. I started this thread to continue what McMinsen was doing last year. I'm in QC so I scan and post coupons found here, McMinsen is in BC and he do it also. Other SCer around the country come and add there scan/pic also and I maintain an index of the coupons with a clickable link to the the coupon scan on post #2-3-5.

Lot of SCer like this thread to see what is out there, and do there wishlist of coupon for trading them on the section here:
