Why You Should Add a Trackable Coupon Offer to Your Email Marketing CampaignsApr152019
Online shopping habits have changed and people want the best deal they can get on products/services they want. With so many sites in competition for “the sale” one of the best ways to get buyers to your site is to offer value along with incentives by using unique Coupon Codes and Discount Coupons.
Online Coupon use has substantially increased in the last five years. In 2014 16 Billion online coupons were redeemed. An estimated 31 Billions online coupons will be redeemed in 2019. (readycloud.com 2018)
Stastics show that over 78% of online shoppers agree that discounts influence where they shop online, with Promo Codes and Coupon Codes influencing where they make a purchase - even over available product selection and great customer service. (retailmenot.com 2018)
Surveys show 82% of shoppers who redeem online coupons do so within a week. (Inmar Shopper Behavior Study April 2018)
Including strategically released Coupons in your Email communications boosts marketing efforts, creates repeat purchases, and makes people feel they're getting a great deal.
