Early Panel Findings Reflect Strength of Couponing and Effective Mediums for Coupon Placement

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Representatives of The Brandon Agency recently launched the "Why We Buy" Consumer Research Panel, an exclusive panel comprised of more than 4,300 consumer participants ranging in age, education, income and family status. The Brandon Agency utilizes this panel to gain a deeper insight into the minds of consumers, better understand their buying patterns and history and, in turn, generate more effective marketing initiatives for Agency clients.

One of the most recent panels conducted by the Agency focused on insightful information about coupons and couponing programs.

With the "Why We Buy" study, 97 percent of respondents said they use coupons.   Based on panel findings, for the products/services being marketed, coupon location is everything. Panel results also show that online coupons are rapidly gaining acceptance among consumers, while newspaper circulars continue to be the number one source.  Additionally, panel results indicate that printed coupons still play an important role for essentials and routine/habit-based purchases, while the empowered consumer is seeking out online coupons for discretionary purchases and those items with a lower sense of immediacy.
