What Your Online Coupon Strategy is Missing

Online coupon strategies represent a significant component of marketing efforts for most consumer-facing brands. As these brands adopt a new-found focus on the omni-channel consumer experience, it’s now necessary to measure the real effectiveness of online coupons. Tracking, measuring, and optimizing digital offers, especially when driving digital engagement in store, requires technology that provides intelligence to gain visibility into your consumer’s path to purchase.

Are you missing out on this critical piece of an online coupon strategy?

The Common Challenges of a Coupon Strategy

Brands create offers, deploy those offers via numerous physical and digital marketing channels, wait until the expiration dates of those offers and measure the total quantity of redemptions. Simple enough, but what if other digital experiences were measured this way? Imagine telling an e-commerce executive that as soon as a visitor landed on their website, the company stopped tracking and measuring engagement with no regard for the source or the value of individualized tracking and different consumer experiences.

The knowledge gap is enormous. Brands are losing highly valuable information, and as a result, missing substantial cost savings and revenue optimization. It’s vital to know the consumer’s path to purchase, especially when it’s tied to a specific online coupon that’s being funded by the brand. While most large brands today are still “driving blind” when it comes to their digital offers, RevTrax has the technology to provide insight, visibility, and intelligence where it didn’t exist before in online coupon strategies.
