Our reason for this is simple, many of our distribution locations are in waiting areas and restaurants. These business locations do not allow papers that could be torn apart and left in a mess. 

The Real Facts About Offering and Using Coupons
The real facts about coupons is that they don’t even work as a good market indicator for your business. Often times people clip coupons such as myself and then don’t have the coupon available at the time of purchase. I myself have even decided to go elsewhere figuring I will go back when I remember the coupon, which usually never happens as the coupon has expired.

 If you run coupons forever like many fast food restaurants do, well, it will eventually work - but not short-term. Our goal, after all, is to create awareness of your business. Yes, we all want immediate, measurable results, but instant gratification simply cannot be guaranteed. And using the example of many National Fast Food Restaurants, they reached a point where their coupons have actually hurt their business. Customers, if they can’t get their hands on one of the seemingly ubiquitous coupons, choose other fast food places rather than pay full rate for a sandwich that is normally half-off with a coupon." It goes on from there!

 If using coupons is your way of a market tracking device, lets try other ways.

 First we can publish your coupons weekly on our web site and people can print them, this is at no additional cost to you. Another good way to track responses from our paper, is running a special that is only offered in our paper.

 Next you could offer a new item that people need to ask about because you do not have it readily available for customers to see. You may possibly have an ad that customers or clients may be inquiring by phone. Many business lines have multiple lines and the rollover lines each have a separate number. Use the number to the line that does not ring in on first.

 The best way to track customers is to ask new customers what brought them through your door.

 Your business should have good products and services that people want or you would be out of business regardless of your coupon offers. What Tidbits® offers is excellent exposure and larger ads for less money.
