The Insight

Consumers Want to Save. Their Coupons Keep Expiring.

Value-conscious shopping is rising — yet most digital promotional value is quietly thrown away.

~99%

Of digital promo codes go unused

Billions of dollars in promotional value expire every year, leaving consumers with missed savings and brands with wasted incentive spend.

50+ yrs

Ziploc® has preserved what matters

For over five decades the brand has extended the life of food and reduced waste — so it asked a simple question about savings, too.

"What if expired food promotions could be preserved just like food?"
