Coupons have a reputation for attracting “deal hunters” who never come back at full price. But that’s a symptom of bad coupon strategy, not coupons themselves.
The 10 Strategies That Work
- First-Visit Discount — 15-20% off first order encourages trial without training customers to wait for deals
- Loyalty Milestone Offers — “10th visit free” rewards regulars
- Off-Peak Hour Specials — Fill slow Tuesday lunches without discounting busy Friday nights
- Bundle Deals — “Dinner for 2” packages increase average ticket size
- Seasonal Limited-Time Offers — Create urgency with expiration dates
- Birthday/Anniversary Offers — Personal touch drives emotional connection
- Referral Coupons — “Give a friend 10%, get 10% off your next visit”
- Social Share Offers — Reward customers for posting about you
- Email Subscriber Exclusive — Build your list with VIP deals
- Combo with Review Ask — Coupon redemption is the perfect moment to request a Google review
