Anja hopes to find out which attributes are most important for the decision to redeem a coupon, depending upon the product type. Thereby, she aims to add a systematic product-specific lens on the mobile coupon literature and hopes to show marketers a first direction how to best account for the promoted product when designing a mobile coupon.
