A Manufacturer’s Representative, or redemption agent, is an independent, specialized partner that supports a brand’s coupon programs from design to execution and redemption to recovery.
We are proud to be one of the only full-service manufacturing agents left in the United States. We serve as your trusted partner, providing complete coupon lifecycle management.
This includes strategic planning, creative design, fraud protection, timely retailer reimbursement, and dedicated customer support, allowing your internal teams to focus on core business objectives.
No, Arrowhead is not a coupon clearinghouse.
Clearinghouses mainly focus on sorting and processing physical paper coupons. In contrast, we offer a full-service manufacturer’s redemption solution that goes much further.
We provide end-to-end promotion management across both traditional and digital channels. This includes compliance support, detailed reporting, and fraud prevention systems—offering a comprehensive solution that goes beyond basic coupon clearing.
An important distinction between a rebate and a coupon lies in the timing of the discount and the required effort from the customer.
A coupon offers an immediate price reduction applied directly at the point of purchase when the customer presents it at the register. The customer pays the lower, discounted price right away, making it a straightforward way to drive instant trial and sales.
Conversely, a rebate provides a delayed refund or partial reimbursement after the purchase has been completed. The customer must pay the full retail price upfront and then take an additional, often complex step—such as submitting a form, proof of purchase, or UPC—to claim their money back later. Rebates are typically used to incentivize high-volume purchases or reward long-term loyalty with a deferred cost to the brand.
