Coupon Advertising for the Holidays!

As the holidays draw nearer, people will be coming out in force to shop for gifts and special deals that they may not be able to get during the rest of the year. They'll be looking for the super great deals to be rolling out and searching high and low for any money saving opportunities they can find. Coupon advertising, however, isn’t just a way to draw in the deal hunters. It’s an essential way to draw in new customers to your business. Here are some ways to ensure that your coupons are drawing in consumers and building excitement to shop at your store.


Have a Strong Call to Action
Are you trying to drive your customers to shop in store or online? You can guide shoppers to visit your store or online site easily by enticing them with a coupon offering a discount if the consumer shops in whichever venue you desire. Perhaps you're trying to get new customers through the door. You can easily do this by offering an incentive, such as a percentage off or a free item, to your current customers to bring in friends who haven't shopped your product or services yet. Make sure your call to action is highly visible and easy to understand.

Stand Out with Visual Appeal
Coupons that provide full-color, eye-catching content can compel customers to read your message. Give your content the professional and stylish look it needs. Include your logo and photos of your products to intrigue consumers. Put the discounted price or percentage off next to the image of your product to really drive home the incentive and entice consumers to shop.

Use Clear and Concise Text
We all know there's nothing more frustrating than getting what we assume to be an exceptionally wonderful incentive, get all excited while shopping, have our carts full and ready to check out... only to find out that half the items in your cart are exceptions to the coupon. Often times companies who make those irritatingly tricky coupons don't disclose restrictions in a easy to understand way. Avoid a frustrated consumer and answer every concern a buyer could think of. What: 20% off your purchase, Where: both in-store and online, When: until December 31st, and How: use the code 12345 or present coupon at time of checkout. Don’t try to trick your customers and always specify if there are certain restrictions. This honesty will demonstrate that your brand or company is trustworthy.

Determine the Value of the Coupon
Set a reasonable sales or revenue-based goal. This will help you decide how much money to spend on the campaign and ultimately, help you measure the results. Remember, the main goal of offering coupons is to encourage consumers to try your products or services. If what you offer is really good, they’ll most likely continue to shop with you. Coupons give you the opportunity to persuade new customers to switch to your brand. Make it count!
