Client Challenge

The client had an established consumer CRM and wanted to deliver personalized Print@Home coupons directly to their existing audience without requiring consumers to create a separate account. They also wanted stronger fraud prevention and complete visibility into coupon redemption.

Objective

  • Integrate Print@Home coupons into the existing CRM.
  • Deliver coupons through embedded galleries and direct links.
  • Strengthen consumer authentication and reduce coupon abuse.
  • Track serialized coupon redemption through clearinghouse reporting.

Solution

1. CRM Integration

We integrated our Print@Home coupon platform directly into the client's existing CRM, allowing consumers to access personalized coupons through email campaigns, direct coupon links, embedded coupon galleries, and campaign landing pages. The integration created a seamless experience by leveraging the client's existing consumer accounts and marketing workflows.

2. Multi-Factor Consumer Authentication

The client initially authenticated consumers using only the email address associated with their CRM account. While convenient, email-only authentication has inherent limitations. Consumers can create multiple email addresses—or use temporary or disposable email accounts—to obtain additional coupons, making it difficult to enforce per-person limits and increasing the risk of coupon abuse.

To address this, we implemented a secondary authentication layer using SMS-based phone verification. Consumers first authenticated through the client's CRM and then verified ownership of a mobile phone using a one-time passcode before accessing their coupon. By requiring both a valid CRM account and a unique mobile phone number, the client significantly strengthened consumer verification while maintaining a simple user experience.

In addition this did not require the client to make a change to their existing CRM process.

Benefits

  • Reduced abuse from multiple or disposable email accounts.
  • Improved enforcement of one-coupon-per-consumer policies.
  • Increased confidence that coupons were reaching real, verified consumers.
  • Strengthened campaign integrity without requiring consumers to create new accounts.
  • Added an additional layer of fraud prevention while keeping the consumer experience simple.

3. Clearinghouse Redemption Integration

We integrated serialized Print@Home coupon data with clearinghouse redemption files to provide complete campaign visibility. Each issued coupon contained a unique serialized barcode that could be matched with redemption records received from the clearinghouse, enabling closed-loop reporting from distribution through in-store redemption.

The Client Could Measure:

  • Coupons issued
  • Coupons Printed
  • Coupons redeemed
  • Redemption rates
  • Consumer-level redemption history
  • Overall campaign effectiveness

Results

The solution enabled the client to securely distribute personalized Print@Home coupons through its existing CRM, strengthen consumer authentication, reduce coupon abuse, and connect coupon issuance directly to redemption reporting. The result was a more secure coupon program with complete visibility into campaign performance from delivery through redemption.
