Coupon Marketing Strategy: Go Where Your Audience Is

Consumers seem to be planning for a prolonged downturn in the US economy and are using coupons in larger numbers. More and more consumers are not purchasing a product without researching to find the best deal.

The good news is they continue to shop, just more wisely and making sure they have a discount prior to making that purchase.

How does that relate to online coupon sites? Traffic to coupon sites are increasing dramatically. 

Digital retailers can leverage this shift to weather the storm by taking advantage of the increased traffic to online coupon sites and developing a marketing strategy to increase sales.

If your brand is sensitive to couponing, not wanting to offer coupons that may discount your brand, there are other ways to take advantage of the coupon trends outlined in JEBCommerce’s 7 Creative Coupon Strategies for Digital Retailers article.

In the following video, Jamie Birch from JEBCommerce, speaks to retail marketing managers about working with coupon affiliates during COVID-19.
