Digital Coupon Users Buy More, Says Study

Consumers who use digital coupons both shop more and spend more than the average shopper. According to the  "Digital Coupon Redeemer: Shopper Trends" report, heavy digital coupon users shop 47%  more often than the average shopper, spending $6,081 annually on groceries and household goods alone – a 114% more than the national average. "Digital coupons continue to help drive revenue for our retailers and CPG partners," said Steven Boal, president and CEO, Coupons.com. "Coupons are key to influencing shopping behavior and keeping products and brands top of mind.

Within each of these categories, the study analyzed the frequency of shopping trips and the average basket price per trip.
