The Technology Isn’t Broken
The number of friction points in the redemption process
greatly reduces the practical use of mobile based offers.

Humans Make it Hard to Redeem Coupons
• Cashiers and checkout managers not informed
• No clear signage about how to redeem mobile coupons
• Access to good in-store WiFi can be spotty
• Hard to use multiple coupons at once
Barriers to Mobile Coupon Redemption
Optimize the Mobile Customer Experience
Best Practices• Employ quick access display and scan based coupon
offers• Avoid multi-step redemption processes• Tailor mobile coupon offers specifically to everyday
consumer based products (groceries, food & drink, retail goods)
• Push relevant offers to mobile shoppers via SMS text• Leverage in-app loyalty programs that automatically
redeem mobile coupon offers.
#ACP13
• Educate staff about how to scan mobile coupons
• Encourage mobile coupon use – less waste, fewer opportunities for use after expiration
• Show examples of how to redeem mobile coupons – in store signage, commercials, online advertisements
More Best Practices

The mobile customer experience must encompass
all touch points, from downloading an app,
signing up for alerts to engaging with human-
beings.
A true complete experience means a happy, loyal
customer.
