Promotional strategies utilizing Online Coupons and Receipt Based Cashback Offers are among the most effective ways for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands to achieve a high Return on Investment (ROI). These promotional programs captivate consumer attention and generate excitement leading to increased product purchases and overall long term engagement.

However, before rolling out a coupon marketing campaign, brands must carefully evaluate several key factors to ensure their objectives are met. Effective couponing goes beyond simply offering discounts to consumers; it’s a strategic tool designed to align the promotional campaign with the Brand’s overall strategic objectives.

Here are seven of the most critical factors that brands should keep in mind when implementing an online coupons and cashback offers program:

  1. Cost of Distribution:
    Assessing distribution costs is essential for ensuring that your discount campaigns reach your target audience efficiently without overspending on logistical expenses. Should you Mail coupons to consumers and incur those costs or simply deploy a modern Receipt based Cashback Offer campaign?
  2. Cost of Redemption:
    Balancing the value of the offer with service fees is critical to maintain profitability while incentivizing maximum consumer participation. Lower service fees means Brands can offer higher discounts, but will consumers redeem at equivalent rates? Again, the Mail to Home vs. Print at Home vs. Cashback Offers question. And one of the reasons we often recommend Brands to undertake all three so they can diversify their redemption cost profile.
  3. Offer Types ($OFF, Buy X get Y, Buy 2X get Y, BOGO, Free Product):
    Choosing the right type of offer aligns your promotions with consumer purchasing habits and drives maximum engagement. Who is your consumer? What drives and motivates them? How often do they engage with your product?
  4. Coupon Medium/Type (Printable Coupons, Mail to Home Coupons, Cashback Offers):
    Selecting the appropriate coupon delivery method ensures accessibility and enhances the likelihood of consumer redemption. Potentially the most important question as it is affected by and impacts every other factor. Perhaps you should deploy all three.
  5. Do You Want to Build Your CRM?:
    Integrating coupon programs with CRM systems allows brands to collect valuable consumer data and foster long-term relationships. At the very least Brands should seek to find ways to enter into communication with the promotion participants.
  6. Multi-Brand Offers vs. Single-Brand Offers:
    Multi-brand offers create broad appeal by leveraging collaboration, while single-brand offers focus on targeted engagement and brand loyalty. If your company has multiple complementary Brands it can be a good idea to deploy campaigns that encourage consumers to purchase many of them per transaction.
  7. Stand-Alone Offers vs. Integrated at Your brand Site:
    Stand-alone offers increase visibility, while integrating campaigns on your brand site ensures seamless consumer experiences and reinforces brand identity. What makes more sense for your Brand, product and strategic objective?
