A most hotly debated mer
chandising issue of the times
Is the spread of trading stamps.
* * *
While one huge advertising
agency through surveys tries to
establish that trading stamps
care vital to operation of M store,
leas biased • *
studies of situ
ation point to
the contrary,
* * •
A University
of Michigan;
survey finds
stamps are not;
important 1
attracting newl
customers. A
University of
Richmond study found that 90%
of shoppers report they would not
stop dealing with a store if it
stopped giving trading stamps.
* * *
Use of trading stamps goes
back before turn of century.
Historically, their popularity
has risen and fallen periodically.
A few years ago nation broke
oat Into rash of trading stamps.
*00
It seems apparent that first
stores to adopt trading stamps
did benefit, at least superficially.
• * *
But now, with practically all
competitors In some areas giv
ing trading. stamps, advantage
held by any one stamp giving
store appears to have been can
celled out.
. a. e ■ a . - •
In addition, serious disadvan
tages are making themselves
felt. One is cost of a stamp pro
gram. If stores pass on this cost
to their customers, their prices
are no longer competitive.
• • *
On other hand, if stores absorb
costs, It cuts deeply Into already
narrow profit margins.
• « •
Some merchants have tried
compensating fbr this loss by
reducing their legitlmaje ad
vertising, and have found their
trade actually falls off.

By C WILSON HA1 L f K
This Is not surprising, because
big advertising manufacturers
have long known this fact about
premiums, of which stamps are
a type. That fad is this. No
matter how good a premium is
offered, the manufacturer must
spend as much money advertis
ing the premium as is spent ad
vertising the merchandise. In
other words, a premium is only
as good as the selling effort put
behind It.
. • • * -
Consumers are also apparently
becoming aware of situation as
one university survey found 14%
of those who once saved stamps
have lost interest and quit.
* * •
When U. 8. Supreme Court
ruled states have a right to out
law stamps plans, It called them
“An appeal to stupidity.** Few
states have ever passed laws out
lawing them. At present time
Federal Trade Commission is
reputed making study of matter
on the usual FTC operative plan
of too little, too late.
• * *
There seems substantial evi
dence great national stamp rash
is passing as fads usually do. But
long ago FTC should have com
pleted thorough study of situ
ation.
In fact, FTC should also em
ploy its talents attacking a basic
reason for the spread of trading
stamp plans. That has been the
FTC failure to enforce anti-trust
laws which prohibit a favored
few from getting special dis
counts, phony advertising allow
ances which permit them to en
gage in ruinous price competi
tion. Had FTC been on the Job
in this respect in the first place
It is doubtful stamp plans would
have ever sprung up. After all,
why should any merchant pay
full value for stamps regardless
of whether or not they are ever
redeemed, giving vast profits to
stamp plan promoters, except in
« desperate attempt to combat
unfair practices used against
him?

pleton and Robert L- Wylie, Jr.,
