Direct mail coupons and inserts place a large burden on resources with a redemption rate of less than 1%. In 2006, over 286 billion coupons were printed but only 2.6 billion were redeemed, costing advertisers $1.8 billion. This method also wastes paper and impacts transportation systems. A new mobile shopping portal called SALEular SOC allows consumers to opt-in to receive instant digital coupons on their phones, providing savings without the waste of print.
