In short- Yes.

Though many of the business owners we speak with see coupons primarily as a discount, we don't see it that way. The core value proposition of a coupon is its ability to drive favorable consumer behavior by giving an incentive. Roughly 68% of shoppers clip coupons and nearly 40% believe that coupon offers influence their purchase decisions. Coupons allow you, the business owner, to encourage your customers to behave in the most profitable way for your business.
