Coupons; increasing conversion and customer loyalty
I remember being a kid in ripped jeans and bare feet (not much has changed) sifting through the countless piles of discounts and bargains I found in junk mail left by my mother.
I often wondered why I found them so captervating, but something about reading through deals on technology and DVDs captured my imagination.
These days junk mail has become a thing of my formative golden years – but the coupon lives on in digital form and I still love the idea of finding a deal on a new piece of technology.
