Mobile Coupons Trends

According to a recent study by Yankee Group, the number of mobile coupon users in North America is set to increase more than tenfold in 2010, followed by triple-digit increases in both 2011 and 2012. In all, some $2.37 billion-worth of mobile coupon transactions will take place in North America in 2013, up from just $5 million this year, according to the study. It’s clear that mobility represents greater opportunity.

Recognize they're not for everyone. High-margin service businesses such as spas and salons were the most successful, with restaurants least successful.

They increase exposure. That may be the best thing for your location, but it may also be difficult to handle the rush of business.

Ad/Marketing Dollars. Think of it as “free” advertising in markets you might not be able to access.

Offer Something, Not Everything. 50% off is a lot – so think about what you can offer that doesn’t sink your ship.
