Rebates and Coupons Saving Consumers Millions on Consumer Packaged Goods

Feb. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Inmar, Inc., which processes billions of returned/recalled products, reported in January that annual coupon use is on the rise for the first time since 1992, and coupon distribution hit the highest level recorded since the company began tracking trends in 1988.  

For the first time in 17 years, consumers used more coupons than they did the year before, with 3.3 billion consumer packaged goods coupons redeemed, a 27% increase over the 2.6 billion redeemed in 2008. The rise in coupon use started in October of 2008, coinciding with news of the U.S. financial crisis.

Online coupons also contributed to the rise in coupon distribution and redemption, with Internet distribution up 92% and consumer redemption of these coupons up over 360%.  Xenna Corporation (www.xenna.com)  is one of many manufacturers that has responded to the economic downturn by increasing rebates for its foot care products.  

CEO Carol J. Buck says, “When the market is in a downturn, consumers become much more responsive to special promotions such as discount coupons and rebates.  We responded early on to those concerns by adding rebates to our print advertisements and making online rebate coupons available for our foot care products.”  

Xenna’s NonyX® Nail Gel and CalleX® Exfoliating Dry Heel Ointment are sold throughout the U.S. in chain drugstores, grocery stores and mass retailers, including Walmart, Walgreens, HEB, Publix, Rite Aid, Duane Reade and CVS.

Ms. Buck believes that while consumers may be more reluctant than in the past to spend money on frivolities, she feels people are still concerned about meeting their needs – including those that relate to appearance. “They’re simply trying to make every dollar go as far as it can,” she says. “They’re more inclined than in the past to a do-it-yourself approach and home care solutions.”

A leader in foot care, Xenna’s NonyX Nail Gel and CalleX Exfoliating Dry Heel Ointment address the embarrassment of unsightly toenails and dry, cracked  feet. In addition to offering high value rebate coupons, all Xenna products are 100% money-back guaranteed.

NonyX Nail Gel (www.nonyx.com) is formulated to break down keratin debris, the yellowish granular buildup under toenails that makes them discolored or dark.

Using patented ethanoic acid, NonyX Gel takes a unique, natural approach to the problem by softening keratin debris buildup until it can be gradually scraped out with a manicure tool, beginning after about four weeks.

Regular use of NonyX Nail Gel help maintain clear and healthy-looking toenails once the keratin debris is exfoliated.  Consumers can find retailers carrying NonyX and print out a $5 NonyX Nail Gel rebate coupons at http://www.xenna.com/xenna_coupons.html.  

For unsightly heels or soles, Xenna's CalleX Ointment for Dry, Cracked Feet (www.callexointment.com), eliminates the need for scraping away scaly, dry skin.  It’s natural enzymes exfoliate dead, dry skin , leaving feet soft and smooth in 2 to 4 weeks of daily use.  

Used by podiatrists, patented, moisturizing CalleX Ointment is free of potentially irritating acids and parabens. Both NonyX and CalleX are diabetic-friendly.  Downloads for the CalleX Ointment $4 rebate coupon are available at http://www.xenna.com/xenna_coupons.html.

“We are serious about offering a meaningful rebate value,” says Ms. Buck.  “Rebates really make a difference for consumers – both as individuals and in terms of the overall economy, as the national increase in coupon use confirms.”  Retailers' names are posted next to the rebate coupons on Xenna’s website so that buyers can have everything conveniently printed on one page as they head to the stores - it's all about providing both value and convenience." concludes Ms. Buck.
