CoupTessa.com, the newest online couponing site and social media platform for women, announces both the launch of their services, as well as, the kickoff of their own panel of experts so appropriately named, “Tessa’s Dream Team” this Friday, July 16, 2010.

Both announcements are reinforced by CoupTessa.com’s daily deals for women of 50%-90% off and the site’s donations of $1 per daily indulgence purchased to CoupTessa.com’s recent partner Susan G. Komen for the Cure Miami/ Ft. Lauderdale.

Savings savvy gals in Miami may now revel in the notion of accessing the “holy grail” of online indulgence resources. CoupTessa.com is partnering with the revered fashion stylists at Cutler Salon-Miami to offer a three- day deal. The special, which will run from Friday to Sunday, comprises a host of posh services usually reserved for the glitterati.

Tessa, the animated hostess for CoupTessa.com, assembled a nonpareil team of expert panelists including stylists, makeup artists, yoga masters and the like, to give her subscribers exclusive tips on all issues regarding health and beauty. Emily Thomas, the Director of Cutler Salon- Miami, is the first expert who will share her hair know-how with the members of CoupTessa.com. Tessa will interview a different aficionado from “Tessa’s Dream Team” each day.

CoupTessa.com utilizes various social media platforms to cultivate a movement of women enlivened by the prospect of daily self-indulgence.

Services previously deemed too expensive, will now be accessible to all women and even those services already being utilized daily will become all the more attractive to our chic sophisticate.

“The tough economic climate has proven a powerful motivator in consumers seeking the most value for their money. We see social media platforms, such as CoupTessa.com, as an incredibly effective vehicle for women to find the best deals in their area, while engaging with other likeminded women in their own communities in an effort to exchange information and tips on the services and issues most important to them,” explains brpr Group Creative Director Gerard Bush.
