Coupons for Cash Losses

Posted in Industry News      Tags: , , , , , , , ,

The ISP is taking legal advice against retailers that repeatedly redeem coupons from consumers who have not bought the product. The ISP is collecting examples of coupon misuse and will be taking advice from lawyers to establish whether retailers can be taken to court for allowing or even encouraging coupon misuse. They also need to know whether they could force retailers to only accept coupons redeemed against the manufacturer’s product.

Peter Kerr, who is the MD of MRM and Chairman of the ISP’s coupon committee, has said that he has recently dealt with 15 cases where individual stores had tried to claim back a higher value of coupons than the total value of product sales.

Still free to use the word ‘free’…

Posted in Industry News      Tags: , , ,

It appears that the powers that be, namely the European Commission, have decided that we (the Sales Promotion industry) can continue to use the word ‘free’ when creating brand promotions. It’s not as cut and dried as this however and guidance must be taken to ensure the consumer is made fully aware of any product purchase required, postal costs etc.

For any queries about the absolute interpretation of any planned campaigns, we suggest you contact Philip Circus at the ISP for clarification
