Retail stores, restaurants, auto repair, grocery chains, food and drug manufacturers, hair salons, dentists, veterinarians, real estate agents and even coupon marketers themselves are now going electronic on the Internet.
You no longer need a pair of scissors, a magnifying glass and a Sunday paper for locating St Louis deals and discounts.
Simply visit a Web site, type in codes, and you will find all the coupons waiting for you, electronically, in your e-mail box or even at a store's cash register.
The latest and most innovative way of getting St Louis coupons is via text messaging to your cell phone or by entering your favorite store's texting code. American Idol made this new form of advertising and communication a household event.
These companies are hoping that these electronic coupons, deals and discounts will revive the already dying paper coupon business as it has the famous Yellow Pages books.
A shocking 0.5 or half of one percent of the total 285 billion coupons issued in 2009 were ever redeemed. These statistics were provided by the coupon processor NCH themselves showing this is down from an average of 1 percent just a decade ago.
The overwhelming problem is that newspaper readership is declining. Thus, fewer people are looking at Sunday newspapers and circulars.
And the younger shoppers or Generation X as they have been dubbed prefer to read their news online with over 50,000,000 doing so with their brand new smartphones.
The hectic pace nowadays mean fewer people take the time to clip, organize and sort coupons each week.
Think about how much time you spend on your cell phone or computer compared to reading a newspaper.
Billions of people keep their mobile phones close to them most if not all of the time for talking or texting. This is why the advertising industry has gone not only to the Internet but has recently gone mobile as St Louis Mobile Coupons website has done.
Their are many good reasons for companies making the move to the e-coupon form of advertising including:
- Redemption rates are much higher and can be as high as 12 percent although the technology is so new that the marketing industry refuses to be more specific.
- Redemptions are easier and quicker to track. Plus, if they appear on your cell phone, you are less likely to lose that coupon. And you can send or forward the mobile coupon as a text message to family and friends. Talk about referral marketing at its best.
- They can now get more information about who's buying their products.
- They can use these newer forms of advertising to cultivate loyal customers by giving additional savings and discounts to shrewd consumers who sign up for a subscription via their mobile phone. And why not... over 81 percent of cell phone users have unlimited texting capabilities thus making it free for everyone.
- And finally, they are more environmentally friendly. Going green can be fun and at the same time save you tremendous amounts of money at your local retailer!
