The Associated Press via USA Today

Penney also plans to add price tags or signs for more than half of its merchandise to show customers how much they're saving by shopping at the mid-priced chain — a strategy used by a few other retailers, such as home decor chain Crate and Barrel and the company that owns TJ Maxx, HomeGoods and Marshalls.

Subscribers want newspaper inserts, not junk mail
INMA
Share
As tough as it was for the media to pick the winners of the local elections, it seems all too easy for the U.S. Postal Service to pick the best way for millions of Americans to receive coupons, preprints and fliers.

AdWeek
Share

So while it's no surprise CBS is pulling out all the stops for its second-screen app tied to Super Bowl XLVII, anybody with even a toehold in those rights negotiations is milking the opportunity for all it's worth.

Digiday
Share
