Coupons are the current trend, since free offers whet the appetite for more.
Having a coupon system “on board” the point-of-sale system is, without a doubt, an advantage. Even though the reasons for issuing coupons vary, the goal is clearly defined. Facility utilization is to be increased. Whether a coupon was issued within the framework of the customer loyalty system, or a guest was surprised by friends with a coupon for a "wellness day" - the "coupon redeemers" are then more inclined to also make use of other, billable offers. After all admission was, as it were, free.

The coupon system from Scheidt & Bachmann is simple to use. Administration costs incurred are near-zero. Coupons can be issued and processed in the debit card format or the also widely used 6" format (152.4mm).
High quality materials, attractive imprints, document security through embossing, holograms or similar methods are interesting features which increase advertising and collection effects.

Overview of other arguments:

• Printing of coupons on demand, resulting in 100% registration and therefore protection against misuse.
• Fast redemption processing through automation.
• Incorrect entries not possible.
• Coupons can be individually blocked.
• Coupon transactions can be tracked in the system.
• Generation of reports for all coupon accounts.
