Re: Bloom-request to management for triples I'm in the part of SC that's had triples for 4,5 weeks now. I think the idea with on-going triples is a good one. If they can maintain their current customer base and add some regular couponers, hoping to get us in the habit of shopping there... picking up produce, etc, since we're there already... then it might work. Certainly, we all know they're losing major bucks on the triples when they do them monthly, since the stores are flooded and they can't keep the shelves stocked. That's got to be very annoying to regular customers. And face it, their regular customers are NOT bargain hunters, so we as couponers must just get under their skin. So, having regular, constant tripling, will slow down the flood of couponers, keep it even and regular and they can plan for it accordingly. Really! They can get the list of what coupons are coming out when and can order from their warehouses and be prepared for the onslaught. This isn't rocket science and it ain't their first rodeo.
Based on what little I've seen as a consumer here, most of flood of couponers has slowed to a manageable trickle and doesn't threaten to overtake the store from its regular customers. Seems like Bloom could have the best of both worlds, if they will but take it. |
