Trading stamps endure says Indiana and South Dakota surveys
Surveys by Indiana University and South Dakota University conclude trading stamps are here to stay, with about 200000 merchants spending 600 million dollars annually on stamps or similar premium plans from around 400 stamp companies. Stamps reach nearly 20 percent of retail sales, with housewives giving strong approval, especially white married women under 5000 dollars income. Grocery stores drive adoption, housewives expect stamps with purchases, and premiums include kitchen equipment and furniture. Stores succeed by location, aggressive promotion, and generous distribution without much price impact.
