Default How to overcome the negative perceptions of coupon redemption

"We do find that there are ways for a person to be "protected" from
the stigma," Argo said. "If you do not know the person, the coupon
value is high, you are in a different checkout line and if you are
highly attractive."

award"

Oh I'm sure they were already well compensated for their study.
Nothing is more heavily researched than consumerism. Nothing. On the
bright side, the study could motivate more manufacturers/distributors/
supermarkets to offer higher value coupons.

I did find it interesting that the use rate of coupons is 2 percent.
I'd have guessed it a bit higher than that. -aem

just wait a while. with the prices of food and gas increasing, even people
with servants will be sending them to the store with coupons.
