A slight majority of 18-34-year-olds shoppers download coupons from online sources, whether they be manufacturer websites (53%), retailer websites (53%), or couponing sites (55%), details SymphonyIRI in a new report. The study also finds that many Millennials research products online, though they’re nearly twice as likely to do so on websites (42%) than on blogs (23%) or social media (22%). In fact, they’re far more likely to leverage social media to get coupons (40%) than to research a product.

Among 35-54-year-olds, 42% download them from manufacturer websites, while 40% do so from retailer websites, and 38% from couponing sites. Similarly, while the 55+ group as a whole is less likely to download coupons online, they seem to prefer using manufacturer (25%) websites to couponing sites (21%). Read the rest at MarketingCharts.
