The way of the rich stay rich: Coupon Savings Habit

Since the financial crisis deepened a year ago, statistics shows that online coupons use has been on the rise. Most of the retailers including the online e-commerce shops made substantially more online coupons available to encourage the shoppers purchases, and most of the consumers responded by increasing their coupon codes use by approximately 27.5 percent during the first half of 2009 and that two digit growth in online coupons use started during the third quarter of 2008 and the coupon redemption has continued to rise ever since. There is $2.7 billion of savings were achieved by shoppers using packaged goods coupons of year 2008.

Online coupons have unique identifiers such as coupon codes or direct discount links. When a online merchant submits its online coupons to be redeemed, a coupon clearinghouse scans the barcodes and the merchant can receive reimbursement for each unique coupon code. Let’s say if you make a book of a $3 online coupon, each copy will be identical to the one before it. In another case, if you make 10 copies and use them all at the same retailer store, your store will only be reimbursed for one of those online coupons. So in that case you will be stealing $27 from your shop since the store will not be paid for the online coupons. We all have to pay the price when consumers copy coupons and submit them for savings. Online coupons can give consumers an incentive to choose that store over its competition and they are good to both online shoppers and online stores. As the economy worsened, coupons frugal became cool and their popularity grew.

One savvy online shopper, Amanda said she will spend about 6 hours a week hunting for online coupons — by checking her favorite coupon codes or bargain deals website for some hot deals of the day, finding some user groups on Facebook or Twitter among other tools. In general, coupon usage is up, which no surprise is given the economy. Online coupon offers the same benefits for merchants as any other discount programs: such as driving consumer traffic, building loyalty and attracting new customers, etc. Please be noticed that there are many online coupons are designed to limit online shoppers to only two per computer, but some consumers try to find ways around that, e.g. searching the exclusive online coupons from online coupons offers website such as couponsmarter.com. Online coupons have more influential power in consumer purchasing decisions nowadays due to the economic downturn as most of the online shoppers realize it’s the smart thing to foster the coupon savings habit.

September 2009 is a great time for online shoppers to refine their coupon saving skills and habit by better organizing the coupons they find, clip, or search the internet to maximize their share of the $500 billion dollars of discounts available annually in USA. It seems to be a real paradigm shift in the amount people are saving, and their behaviors and habits are shifting a bit. Meanwhile some local merchants are thinking of how they can attract shoppers into their online stores. It’s no doubt that a better online coupons strategy will be one weapon to realize this purpose.
