BETHESDA, MD–April 28, 2008–Want to issue more effective online coupons? Or perhaps you want to start offering them to consumers, but don’t know how to begin?
Practical advice on getting started or refining an established program is contained in “Smarter Internet Coupons: 10 Best Practices Guide for CPG Marketers,” published by E-centives, a leader in print-controlled Internet coupons and interactive promotions.
The new Guide empowers consumer packaged goods (CPG) marketers with Best Practices to use throughout the marketing lifecycle–from awareness and trial, to loyalty and retention, to relationship building–to ensure their online coupon programs succeed.
The Internet coupon industry today consists of established companies with the technical expertise and marketing savvy to be a trusted advisor to CPGs. Meanwhile, the marketplace is primed with growing consumer interest in alternatives to traditional paper coupons.
‘The whole idea behind Internet coupons is not to duplicate Sunday newspaper FSIs online,” said Dadi Akhavan, president, CMO and co-founder of E-centives. “The Web provides many more opportunities that better integrate into the brand experience online and allow marketers to use coupons in more effective ways throughout the marketing lifecycle.”

The Guide reveals how marketers who use the latest Internet coupon technologies such as advanced security controls, well-integrated distribution capabilities and granular measurement position themselves to make the greatest gains.
