Abstract

The article reports on the launch of the first electronic paperless coupon system to offer manufacturer discounts based on a shopper's buying habits in 12 Mega Marts Inc. grocery stores in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area on June 6, 1994. The stores offer at least 36 manufacturer discounts through a list printed for shoppers by a kiosk. The store system utilizes a computer program that registers the bar code on the shopper's Advantage VIP membership card at the kiosk, which searches a database for previous purchases.
