Concern over the economy has one silver lining - more retailers are offering online coupons and deals at deep discounts to drive sales. In turn, customers are responding, as more people go online to look for savings.
CouponMountain.com, which has been providing users with online coupons since 2001, bucked seasonal trends as February traffic outpaced November traffic by 10% according to the ComScore Key Measures Report. The reported number of total unique visitors is also up 90% over last February as more customers turn to the site to save on everything from laptops to baby clothes.
The discounts offered in February were deeper than last year. An internal survey of 1,162 coupons and deals from top computer retailers revealed that discounts listed in February 2008 offered a 19% deeper discount on average than ones listed in February 2007. The best discounts were offered by Buy.com, with an average discount of 58%, and HP, with an average discount of 34%. The average discount doubled at both stores compared to what they listed on CouponMountain.com in February 2007. Also, online retailers like Overstock.com and Newegg offered 82% and 207% more online coupons and deals on the site this February than last year.
MeziMedia, a division of ValueClick, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCLK), has leveraged this increased supply and demand for coupons on both their CouponMountain.com site as well as Smarter.com, a site that provides consumers with price comparison, product reviews, merchant reviews, product videos and more - all matched with online products. For example, in February they focused on adding online coupons to the listed products and managed to match online coupons to nearly 70% of the active product catalog offered on Smarter.com.
"Today, more and more top online retailers are offering special savings including coupons, rebates and free shipping offers in hopes of enticing consumers to purchase products," said Paul Willmes, MeziMedia's Product Evangelist. "Smarter.com has increased its coupon coverage to nearly 70% of all active products on our shopping search site in order to more accurately reflect market conditions and meet consumer demand for deep savings."
The addition of coupons and rebates to a price comparison site like Smarter.com makes it possible for consumers to save even more than on a traditional coupon site. Customers can choose the lowest price with taxes and shipping included and then save even more with a coupon or rebate. Smarter.com can help customers save on everything from tech products like digital cameras and iPods to apparel like women's jeans and men's watches.
