Consumer Packaged Goods CPG brands accustomed to executing discount coupon strategies as a core component of their promotional marketing strategies are now also increasingly embracing grocery receipt based cashback offers to create more dynamic and data-driven marketing campaigns.
While coupons in their various formats (Print at Home Coupons, Mail to Home Coupons) are a staple for attracting a broad consumer base, cashback offers provide brands with the opportunity to foster deeper customer engagement, gather valuable purchase data, and deploy programs rapidly. This evolution reflects a growing emphasis on personalization, customer loyalty, and the need for a competitive edge in the ever-evolving consumer packaged goods landscape, where data-backed insights and tailored incentives are becoming requisite for success.
For those not familiar with the concept of receipt based Cashback offers below we provide a quick primer on the topic.

Receipt cashback programs, are marketing initiatives or loyalty programs that offer customers cashback or rewards in exchange for making purchases of specific products or brands and then providing proof of purchase through receipts. The process is simple, the consumer generally takes a picture of their receipt with their phone and uploads it to a web based interface. The receipt is then validated and the consumer is issued the cash or other reward. Our webSaver Cashback Solutions offering for Brands is a complete end to end platform and encompasses all facets of running a Cashback Offers program, as a Brand all you need to do is promote your offers.
These programs are typically employed by consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands and retailers to incentivize customers to buy their products.

More recently we have been advising Brands to run both programs concurrently because having both allows the consumer to select how they want to engage with the Brand’s promotions. Some consumers gravitate towards the more traditional coupons in their various forms, while others prefer the convenience and simplicity of cashback offers. Again, the choice between these approaches should align with the Brand’s marketing goals, promotional timelines, and the preferences of the target audience.
