A Brief History...

The Totally Indie coupons began in spring of 2005 by Lindsay Landis of Pattern & Paw and Purr Design. The idea was for a group of small indie businesses to get together and compile sheets of coupons that we could send out with our orders (or pass out at fairs, etc. etc.)

Unlike most promotional materials where you pay for 5,000 of your own promos which would get your name out to 5,000 people (and as we all know this can get very costly!), with these coupons you are only paying for 125 pieces, yet are still getting your name out to 5,000 people who already support indie business. It is GREAT advertising at an AMAZING price.

We are currently on our 8th round of coupons. They have become quite popular since the very first round, and space is quite competitive. Since only 40 business can participate in each round of the coupons, space tends to fill up fast. Please visit the participate page for more information. We encourage you to sign up for the mailing list if you are intersted in participating, as that is the main way we announce when the next round has begun.
