Mobile coupons are much more effective than paper ones!
It's
simple. People don't redeem paper coupons like they used to. It's a
hassle to print them, cut them out, and remember to keep them in your
pockets so you can have them handy just at the right moment.
On the other hand, people have their phones with them at all times and so the redemption rates for mobile coupons are much higher compared to paper coupons.

Not
everyday is a busy day. Especially with the economy in a slump, texting
great offers is the only way to turn your slow days into busy ones
without planning weeks ahead of time. Even if you have to offer
discounts, it's always better to have some business as opposed to no
business.
