7 Tips for Effective Digital Coupon Marketing

Good friend Adam Small has a mobile text marketing platform that sees incredible redemption rates on SMS text offers. One technique he told me about that a client that offered a bring a friend offer where you received a free shake when you brought a friend to the establishment. They would send the text out a half hour before lunch and there’d be a line out the door. It’s a great concept because you’re not just targeting a person that jumps on the discount, you’re getting a new patron who gets to try out your food!

Colourfast, a leading card printer in Canada, has developed an infographic called Digital Coupons are Driving Mobile and Omni-Channel Sales that walks through usage and statistics associated with digital coupon marketing strategies. The infographic provides these 7 Tips for Effective Digital Coupon Marketing:

  2. Include Visual Appeal – Include your logo or photos of the products with bold, vibrant colors and fonts that will intrigue consumers.
  3. Target Consumers – With geo-targeting, businesses are able to take advantage of consumer location to deliver coupons when they’re nearby!
