Meijer, Stater Bros., Ukrop's and United Supermarkets Begin Offering EZ-PIC(TM) Paperless Coupons 2,800 Grocery Stores to Offer EZ-PIC Paperless Coupons in 2008

CHICAGO, July 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Unicous Marketing, Inc. announced today that the company projects that 2,800 grocery stores across the country will offer its EZ-PIC(TM) paperless, in-store coupons by the end of the year. With Meijer, Stater Bros., Ukrop and United Supermarkets now offering EZ-PIC(TM), the instant coupon is available in over 1,000 grocery stores nationwide. EZ-PIC(TM) is also available at BI-LO, Big Y, Food City and Kings. Unicous Marketing is in negotiation with several other grocery retailers and expects to bring additional banners on line during calendar year 2008.

EZ-PIC(TM) is a paperless coupon advertised on retail store shelves and redeemed electronically at check-out -- eliminating the hassle of paper coupons. Because EZ-PIC(TM) coupons are different from traditional FSI, paper coupons or in-store temporary price reductions, they provide extra value to shoppers, larger baskets for retailers and more unit sales for manufacturers.

"As retailers and manufacturers understand the effectiveness of EZ-PIC(TM), our store base and product selection continues to grow," explains John Thompson, Vice President of Operations for Unicous Marketing, Inc. "Data has shown that EZ-PIC delivers -- not just for consumers, but for retailers and manufacturers alike. We're trending with a 71% lift on promoted items year-over-year."

EZ-PIC(TM) is the only technology currently on the market which provides a completely electronic promotional transaction. Pending patent, EZ-PIC(TM) represents the coupon industry's natural point of technological evolution -- eliminating the hassle of paper coupons while changing the way manufacturers invest consumer promotion dollars with retailers. Unicous Marketing, Inc., the parent company of EZ-PIC, is based in Chicago, Illinois. http://www.ez-pic.com/
