Gift Cards I’m seeing more gift cards, reward cards, etc. being used all the time…is there an advantage to using them instead of using checks? Great question! There are many advantages of using a plastic "reward" card over a check. The most important is the ability to customized a card - which literally takes your brand message and logo right to your customer's wallet. That's pretty powerful brand reinforcement. Once deposited, the value of a check goes to the consumer's bank account - but a reward card stays in their wallet and research shows it feels more like 'fun' money, giving them permission to splurge a little, thanks to your brand.

Mail-in rebates vs. Instant Rewards I’m thinking of running a promotion, but not sure if I should offer a mail-in rebate or an instant rebate at stores. I’m seeing an odd mix of both out there right now, so I’m wondering what you recommend? We’ve found that many marketers have recently gone to instant, in-store savings due to a number of factors, but largely due to pressure from retailers who grew tired of consumer complaints about the wait times and growing mistrust of the mail-in process. What they found, however, were a number of issues: 1. Since everyone gets the reward, it becomes very expensive 2. When you lower the value of the offer (to make the cost manageable), you get less sales and 3. You need to manage the submission of the coupons from your retailers, in terms of validation, security/fraud issues, compilation, reconciliation and payment. We can do all of that for you. There definitely is a place for both, and we’re now seeing A shift back to mail-in, likely due to all of the above. Featured Question
Guy with the bag on his head I’ve noticed a few of your company’s ads that show the guy with the bag on his head and couldn’t help wonder what that was all about? I’m glad you asked, as he’s an important visual representation of our dramatic differentiation from the rest of the rebate industry. You’ve heard the jokes about how horrible the rebate experience is - it even made Dilbert, where they referred to devious rebate marketers as “stinking weasels”. If you consider how poorly the industry has treated the consumer by making him wait months for his reward and not supporting the offer with proper call center support or communication - essentially leaving him on his own to ‘hope’ he gets a check, it’s no wonder why retailers like Best Buy said ‘enough!’.
Rebate Data Base Do outlets and manufacturers normally retain and/or sell rebatee’s address info. Additionally, is there a data source to find out if the Casio WK 1800 Musical Keyboard ever offered a rebate either by Casio or a reseller? My interest relates to a clue on AMW missing person aired Dec 22. There is no centralized database for manufacturer's rebates and a reputable rebate processor would not sell such information, so I would suggest that your only option would be to contact Casio directly. Good luck with your search.
