Maybe we all need to go back-to-school-when it comes to marketing…
Before the internet, things like coupons, and in this case, Old Navy coupons, were commonplace.
Here's a great example of a traditional coupon marketing campaign….
***********************************************************************************************************
In their 2nd annual co-promotion, Great Clips, a 3,000+ unit hair care franchise, and Old Navy, a trusted clothing brand with over 1,000 retail stores, are teaming up to capitalize on the back-to-school crowd that will be bursting through retail doors of all shapes and sizes in the coming weeks.
During the back-to-school promotional period, Great Clips franchise salons will give away a $10 off Old Navy coupon to everyone—not just school-age kids—who comes in for a haircut. And, the coupon offer from Old Navy is only available to Great Clips customers. The offer is good for $10 off any $50 purchase at Old Navy—a 20% discount.
Franchise folks; this is simple, yet brilliant marketing. It's even-shall we say..traditional marketing.

Not sure if my last comment went through but I think this is form of marketing is so simple yet effective. I also think it would be interesting to find out how such a company came to an agreement like this. Thanks for the post.
David,
Thanks for the comment. Great Clips has done a fine job with all the spokes of the wheel for years. I’m not surprised that they were able to get a partnership like this.
My daughter, (The Franchise Princess) is an avid Old Navy shopper. I get the Old Navy emails sent to my accounts, and they have some of the best email marketing letters I’ve ever sen.
Two strong companies that “get it.”
Fantastic!

King,
I think that it’s great to see some old-fashioned marketing in the form of real live coupons being used, too.
Thank you for reporting on this joint-marketing venture.
