Paper Coupons: Overwhelming Inconvenience + Cost = Waste
+ + =
No matter how many ways it is calculated or analyzed, there is little doubt that direct mail
coupons and free-standing-inserts (FSIs) are taxing our sanity and natural resources.
In 2006, advertisers/marketers made placement orders for over 286 billion print coupons in
direct mail pieces and free-standing inserts (FSIs), but American consumers redeemed only
2.6 billion coupons in total (for a less than 1 percent redemption rate), according to
research firm CMS. Outside of the fact that advertisers doled out $1.8 billion for printed
coupons (source: TNS Media Intelligence) in 2006, the debate over waste and inefficiency
extends to additional burdens on natural and man-made resources (postal/shipping
transportation systems).
