As often happens, Joseph Jaffe came out with some interesting points in his latest column on iMediaConnection. The question is how does a marketer entice, incent or engage a consumer to the point of trial?
Product samples and coupons. This is Joseph's answer, that of course is supported with a some good examples.
In some ways I like the idea, but if I think about using it in Italy I don't think it will be successful. Coupons are not an important part of our daily shopping experience, and most of all people that will be more inclined to use coupons are not online, I mean housewives, that are still a big segment in my country.
