Editor's Notes
Target is the first national chain to offer scannable mobile coupons at all stores. The program allows consumers to receive digital coupons on their cell phones. They then redeem the coupon at any Target store in the U.S. by having checkout cashiers scan in the bar code from their phone screen.

To take part in the program, customers can register at the Target Web site or by downloading the free Target iPhone app. Target's coupons will have an expiration date and can only be used once. They will issue new coupons each month as older ones expire, although the number and frequency should increase as the program expands. Target's scannable coupons aren't presently tailored to the interest of the specific customer
TNS Research conducted in 2008. The research described 4 different ways in which a consumer could interact with a brand using their mobile – 2 push tactics and 2 pull tactics. Receiving coupons for discounts and free product trials was the most popular – 52% of consumers would be interested in receiving these, of course assuming the product is relevant to them. 34% are interested in being informed of store sales. 46% are interested in sponsored apps, 37% are interested in using the camera on their phone as a barcode scanner to access further product information. Interestingly, females are more motivated by push tactics whilst males are more interested by pull tactics. But it seems as though the mobile phone is finally stepping out of the shadows of the PC and providing new opportunities for brands to connect with consumers
