About Our Methodology
With the volume of coupons processed by the company in the United States and worldwide, NCH is in a unique position to deliver the
most accurate analysis of coupon promotional trends. Coupons distributed and redeemed in the U.S. Consumer Packaged Goods
(CPG) marketplace are studied utilizing our manufacturer client databases, data cleared via our retailer processing operation and
other independent sources. Our proprietary methodology utilizes rigorous controls and statistical standards to maintain the integrity of
the information contained in this report, as well as all other information tools supplied by NCH.
Data points from client and market sources are dynamic. As such, projections are based on the most current information available at
the time of publication and may be revised in the future. Also, due to rounding, the sum of certain percentages may not equal 100
percent. The scope of this report includes Manufacturer Coupons of all paper and paperless media formats that are most typically
funded by CPG marketing budget allocations for consumer promotion. Retailer In-Ad coupons are not included in this report, as they
are most often funded by trade dollars. Consequently, In-Ad distribution and redemption are less precisely tracked by manufacturers.
How To Use This Report
Syndicated data suppliers, strategic media partners and promotional agencies are best positioned to help you review competitive
marketplace conditions, consumer behaviors and promotional strategies – all of which are contributing factors to the results that your
company or brand may experience with coupon promotions. Use this report for understanding the total market picture, including the
dollars to be protected as they are transacted between trading partners, and for comparing your results to the industry averages.
