NEW YORK (PRWEB) September 10, 2019
With half of 2019 rebates fulfilled, The Advertising Checking Bureau, Inc. is seeing notable increases in rebate and spiff incentive payments. For the 12-month period ending June 30th, ACB reports a 57% increase over the previous year, attributing growth to several factors. Research studies conducted by ACB’s partner, Hawk Incentives, revealed gains in 2018 in consumer perception of rebates with 84% of surveyed consumers thinking that rebates offer great savings opportunities. Finding deeper value in rebates over other sales promotions and providing an opening to expand relationships with a brand, rebates continue to attract deal seekers and comparison shoppers.
