COUPON MARKETING STRATEGY: STATISTICS, TRENDS AND TIPS FOR ENTERPRISE RETAILERS
[NEW RESOURCE ALERT] Take the guesswork out of creating high-converting
promotional campaigns. Use our battle-tested Coupon Swipe File full of discount

DOWNLOAD THE COUPON SWIPE FILE
This article is all about designing and operating a profitable coupon marketing
strategy. You’ll learn about the 4 different types of coupons in terms of
promotional offers, and the psychological triggers behind the effectiveness of
coupon marketing strategies.
In 1887, Coca-Cola distributed the first-ever coupon.
Between 1894 and 1913, an estimated one-in-nine Americans had received a free
Coca-Cola, for a total of 8,500,000 free drinks.
By 1895, Coca-Cola was being served in every state.
Since then, coupons have become an integral part of retailers’ marketing
strategy, with the digital coupon redemption value reaching $91 billion in 2022.
INTERESTING STATISTICS AROUND COUPONING (TOP PICKS)
* Over 142 million US adults redeemed digital coupons in 2020.
* The use of digital coupons rose in 2021, reaching 145.3 million users. For

number has been growing every year since.
* The average coupon redemption rate in the US was in 2021 0.77%. (Statista)
* In 2019, the total value of all coupons distributed in the US was $467

distributed), according to intelligence commerce network operator Inmar.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPONS?
Based on promotion type, coupons allow retailers to offer of a wide range of
discounts and deals, such as:
* Percentage-Based Discounts, the most prevalent coupon kind.
* Free Shipping, frequently offered in conjunction with a minimum order size to
improve the AOV.
* Free Gift, usually require customers to buy at least one other item, which is
usually of a certain value.
* Dollar-based offers, based on the dollar value of a product make individuals
feel like they’re wasting money if they don’t utilize them.
WHAT CONSUMERS USE COUPONS (BY GENERATION)
* Coupon use is prevalent across all generations, with 9 of 10 respondents
stating they use coupons for their food, over-the-counter medications,
household items and health and beauty purchases.
* Millennials are getting in on the coupon action, too! A report released
by NCH Marketing Services shows that when millennials become parents, their
value-seeking behaviors reflect those of Gen X and baby boomers, with 89% of
millennial parents using coupons when planning their shopping, compared to
78% of millennials without children.

smartphone to keep a shopping list (48%), get coupons or deals (53%) and

PSYCHOLOGICAL TRIGGERS: WHY DO COUPONS ATTRACT SHOPPERS?
We’ll mention 5 psychological triggers that mostly impact coupon strategy
success in retail. These triggers influence shoppers actions and decisions
fundamentally 24/7.
An important point to remember is that these mental triggers are not isolated.
They are closely related, working synergistically and together they can create a
massive impact.
1. ANTICIPATION
Think of Black Friday: Lots of shoppers write down the date well in advance and
start to prepare for it by putting some money at a side to spend on that day and
have a list of desired items.
Anticipation is also used in new product launches, letting customers know in
advance that something new and exciting is coming up. As an example, when a
retailer is launching his new loyalty program, he can prepare coupons and
vouchers to encourage the most active customers to join as soon as possible,
creating great momentum for the program launch. When retailers use anticipation
right, shoppers will save the date.
2. SCARCITY
When there is less of something we want more. Low-stock or limited-inventory
sales create a scarcity mindset. If people know something they’re eyeing is
about to run out, they’ll be more likely to buy it before it’s too late and gone
forever — this is especially true for high-ticket items
3. RECIPROCITY
The idea behind reciprocity is that when someone gives something to us we feel
an obligation to give something in return. Thousand of years ago commerce and
trade was conducted like this.
Giving tons of value creates a reciprocity imbalance, the more value the more
likely shoppers become loyal and want to reciprocate.
Free samples or trial-size products cost close to nothing to produce, yet they
are a major revenue driver for retailers. Brands offer a risk-free proposition
to consumers who can try something new for free. The stores that do manage to
impress shoppers with their samples earn consumer loyalty and trust and generate
profitable sales due to our natural desire to reciprocate goodwill.
4. URGENCY
Coupons that expire and flash sales create a sense of urgency. Buyers know deals
will only be available for a limited time, which means they need to take action
right away instead of waiting. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay full price
later as a result.
5. LIKEABILITY
Shoppers want to do business with companies they know, like and trust. Defining
strong values, supporting important causes and humanizing the brand builds
connection and likeability. Enterprise retailers often create successful coupon
strategies that include supporting an NGO or specific cause.
CAN COUPONS BE BAD FOR A BRAND OR RETAILER?
Even though discounts drive sales and make consumers feel good about purchasing,
not every brand, product or type of customer responds well to discounts.
In fact, coupons can also harm a brand’s customer perceived value, defined as
the value or worth of a product in the eyes of the customer.
When it comes to luxury items, for example, coupons can be both ineffective and
counterproductive. One study found that, when luxury items were discounted, they
were seen as inferior due to being out-of-season already or less popular, making
them less desirable.
That’s why Enterprise Retailers must use the right pricing strategies, at the
right time, for the right customers.
CONCLUSION
Mass coupons don’t boost sales or build loyalty. Shoppers really want to have a
personalized customer experience. In fact, recent research reports that 90% of
people find personalization appealing, and 80% of consumers are more likely to
do business with a company that offers personalized experiences.
Consumers today expect to be recognized by name, expect to have their
preferences remembered, expect product recommendations and expect
personalization that is relevant within the context of the situation.
Therefore, brands that understand their customers and respond accordingly can
significantly improve the customer experience, create consistency across
channels, increase loyalty and drive more revenue.
Your coupon management software should allow you to scale up your company’s
personalized offers and design millions of AI powered promotions in minutes (not
weeks), optimizing your offers and audience segments based on customer data.
