Grocery chain taps Coupons.com for coupon gallery

Steven Boal, CEO of Coupons.com Incorporated said, "More and more consumers are turning to the Internet as a source for budget-stretching offers and A&P is giving them the savings they are looking for."

What is the incentive to offering a coupon? Consumer loyalty is one. Research has shown that, in the tight economy, consumers are clipping more coupons from newspapers, searching for more coupons online and saving more coupon codes to mobiles to be used at grocery or retail chains. By offering a coupon, brands have the chance to 'tell' consumers that their choices are appreciated.

"Today's value-conscious consumer is looking for more savings," said Jennifer MacLeod, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Communications, The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc. (A&P). "Shoppers will find significant savings in our coupon galleries which have been developed to provide our customers with hundreds of dollars worth of savings on the products they buy most throughout our stores."

The coupon galleries are available on A&P branded websites and offer savings throughout the store departments, which should interest consumers. By offering coupons online, stores give consumers the ability to search, clip and save on their own schedule. They don't have to wait for a Sunday supplement or put coupons in a 'safe place' which is invariably forgotten on shopping day.
