RE: coupons

Another approach often used is to use a redemption house like Young America
Corp.
The Redemption house receives the coupons. Pays the consumer for the face
value of
the coupon and then bills the issuer on a weekly/monthly/program basis.
There is a fee associated with this service but the challenges of handling
the coupons are
off-system and in the hands of sales and marketing.

BTW I'm not an employee or affiliated in any way with Young America Corp.

Subject: coupons

Our marketing department wants to issue $50 coupon (credit) to each customer
that reaches a certain dollar amount.   Creating the coupon program and
issuing the coupons to the customer is not the issue.  Has anyone issued
coupons to customers and how did they handle the redemption?  Do you redeem
it through order entry - was it as a separate item number or special charge
or did you issue a credit memo?  If through order entry how did you handle
the coupon for tax purposes? Or was it redeemed through Accounts Receivable?


Thank you,
