\"sams-club\"According to a study by Scarborough Research<\/a>, consumers still rely on their Sunday newspapers to get most of their coupons.\u00a0 That trend might change faster than you think as brands begin to get on the digital bandwagon.\u00a0 Sure, we’ve all seen coupons online, but according to Scarborough’s study, only 7% of U.S. households surveyed actually get coupons from online sites.\u00a0 Don’t believe me?\u00a0 Check out the stats from the Scarborough Research study below:<\/p>\n

The percentage of U.S. Households that obtain coupons from the following sources:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sunday newspaper = 51%<\/li>\n
  2. In-store coupons = 35%<\/li>\n
  3. Mail = 31%<\/li>\n
  4. Preferred customer card\/loyalty card = 21%<\/li>\n
  5. In-store circulars = 20%<\/li>\n
  6. Weekday newspaper = 17%<\/li>\n
  7. Product packages = 16%<\/li>\n
  8. Magazines = 15%<\/li>\n
  9. Text Messages and\/or Email = 8%<\/li>\n
  10. Internet Sites = 7%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Looking at these statistics, I feel like I’ve stepped back in time, but apparently, they’re representative of U.S. household’s behaviors related to coupons.\u00a0 Clearly, the digital opportunity for coupons is huge, and companies are starting to notice.\u00a0 Just this month, Sam’s Club<\/a> announced that it would stop distributing printed coupons entirely and instead announced its new eValues program that offers personalized coupons to shoppers digitally through their iPhones, Blackberrys, in-store kiosks, and so on.<\/p>\n

    Looks like this trend is about to pick up some serious steam as more companies look to distribute coupons through email, text messages, and online than ever before.\u00a0 At a time in history when more people are looking to the Internet and their smart phones for information and content than traditional sources, the shift makes sense.\u00a0 I suppose the only question really should be, “what took everyone so long?”<\/p>\n

    Your thoughts?<\/p>\n
