Why m-coupon? See what happens in the US Mobile coupons will surpass print and Internet coupons More consumers are searching for coupons via mobile app than in print, with mobile apps being the top place to find coupons Coupons remain the shopper's primary savings method. More than three in five consumers actively seek out coupons in preference of other types of promotions. Coupon users plan ahead before redeeming -- 85 percent look for coupons (nongrocery) prior to visiting a retailer. Mobile apps are the top go-to place to find coupons, with 43 percent of consumers now turning to mobile apps when seeking out coupons, alongside 36 percent who look to print.

M-coupon and BABM BABM supports the Coupon DP To avoid physical counting of coupons and to have faster and more detailed reporting But also to innovate the market with a m-coupon concept And an m-coupon that respects the principle of a National Coupon = a brand has the right to submit a coupon on the market and if GS1 standards are respected, the retailer has to accept that coupon this principle should be respected also in case of an m-coupon 18
M-coupon and BABM What is in for the brands? BABM is convinced that the consumer will use its smart phone for couponing The increased use of the Internet coupon last year (see data HighCo Data) shows that the consumer wants to use it Many KPI s had to be fulfilled, like ruling, VAT reimbursement, Global Coupon Number, etc Now is the time to test it together with the retail Test learn inform assess and prepare the decision for a final roll-out 19
