According to Inmar’s 2015 Industry Trends, digital coupons account for only 2.9% of distribution while FSIs account for 89.1%. Even though FSIs may be more widely distributed, they require more lead-time to execute and their redemption rates are declining. Digital coupons, on the other hand, have a shorter lead-time for execution for a more nimble marketplace approach, and their redemption rates are higher than FSIs.
