Register receipts a hit! - tanTALK

viptanner · 04-06-2002, 05:46 AM

We have a coupon on the back of the receipts of two new grocery stores in the area. Our ad apprears every 4th or 5th time........ money well spent! I would highly recommend this form of repetative exposure! At least it is working for us !!

It really works?
We have been asked several times to do it..but I didnt think it would work..
Could you tell us more about it!!

I had read in one of Tanning Trends - long ago that this works and thought I would try it...

Our coupon shows up every 6th ad. Cost around $5000. for two grocery stores for one year.
We dropped our yellow page full color ad this year and between doing this with the receipts, and having a simple yellow page coupon, we've doubled our reponse, and cut our advertising expense in half !!.

We looked into this a while back but decided not to try it at the time. I think we may reconsider this one.

We did the same things a couple of years ago with some moderate success. Although the coupons were sold to us by the thousands and not for any specific time period. Time to look into it again....

I am currently advertising on the back of local grocery store recepits...so far the return has been great, was a little hesitant when I was being sold on this advertising but am glad that I went through with it...I will continue to do this, provides great exposure and it is reasonably priced!

As a consumer I love the coupons on the back of those grocery receipts. Even if I don't use them it is still exposure.

We tried this a couple of years ago with so so response. I think it really depends on your market area. There's no sure thing in advertising. You gotta try several things and see what works for you.
