Coupons are one of the most cost-effective marketing tools available.

Not only do customers get the deal they’re looking for, but businesses benefit from extra sales and the opportunity to promote their business. Here are a few creative ways to boost sales with coupons:

» Provide a cash value discount (such as $15 off $50 purchase), since a dollar amount is perceived as more valuable than a percentage.

» Provide discounts for specific groups, such as those serving in the military, teachers, or senior citizens.

» Discount complementary products to increase sales.

» Offer something free, or even a “buy one, get one” on a favorite item to entice people into your business!

» Provide a coupon for free bonus items or a valuable upgrade—for example, a coupon for a free haircut when you color your hair.

» Provide a discount based on the weather, a local sports team score, etc. For example, in balmy climates, you could offer up to a 30 percent discount if yesterday’s temperature reached 30 degrees or less.

» Advertise your first 100 customers will receive a valuable coupon at the door.
