Enticing customers with online coupons?
For many years in the USA, vouchers/coupons have been a much loved advertising form, which has recently spread wide across the Internet. In fact, there is a real boom at the moment in the States, promoting online-coupons for bargain hunting.
This is discussed by news agency Pressetext (pte) in a recent report. Revealed by the USA internet market-research firm ComScore, hits for the special Coupon-Portals such as Coupons.com or RetailMeNot.com, rose a healthy 38% in March 2008, compared to figures for 2007, to a total of 281 Million. The reason for this growing consumer interest in the discount sites, is seen to be the worsening economic climate and increasing consumer prices.
Rebate-items are not only found and printed from coupon sites in the US– local search services like Google Maps or Mojopages.com have recognized the viability of Vouchers, especially for smaller and medium-sized undertakings. Coupons are now accessible through these local search services both for location-search specific clientele, and also can attract clients to visit firms directly and thereby soften them up for purchasing.
In Germany, this form of advertising has not yet been launched by local search engine services. Only the online-directory glenglobe.de has offered featured firms the possibility of presenting special-offers, or rebates and vouchers to online customers.
Wouldn’t it make sense, if other local search engines and directories [in the German-speaking region] were to expand their offerings through the option of online rebate-coupons or vouchers? In so doing, the users benefit and the participating firms themselves gain from offering value-for-money, also benefitting from growing site visits.
