Electronic coupons: a double-barreled sales promotion technique
Article Abstract:
Electronic coupon programs (ECP) will probably revolutionize sales promotion in the 1990s. ECPs allow the value of manufacturers' coupons to be automatically deducted from a customer's bill for eligible purchases after membership in the program has been proven. ECPs have the great advantage of enabling retailers to compile consumer databases while simultaneously providing marketers with a powerful method of sales promotion. Moreover, the dissatisfaction of some supermarket managers with ECP will probably change to enthusiastic support once they become more familiar with the program.
