n.

Coupon
For the former Ukrainian currency, see
Ukrainian karbovanets. In
marketing a coupon is a ticket or document that can be exchanged for a financial
discount or
rebate when purchasing a
product. Customarily, coupons are issued by manufacturers of consumer packaged goods or by retailers, to be used in
retail stores as a part of
sales promotions. They are often widely distributed through mail,
magazines,
newspapers, the
Internet, and mobile devices such as cell phones. Internet coupons have become popular recently, because there is no postal cost, and the printing cost is borne by the user (who prints the coupons) rather than the businesses issuing them. Mobile coupons have emerged as a new and green alternative as no printing is required whatsoever. Mobile coupons as a method of coupon redemption are gaining in popularity as more consumers utilize their mobile devices for uses beyond voice.
