Abstract
A promotional mailer in the form of a two-piece in one post card housing an integral coupon card is disclosed. A redemption card is created and defined within the promotional mailer by score lines intermittently cut through a top layer, base layer and plastic film of the mailer in a manner to securely maintain the redemption card in place until forcibly removed. At least one edge of the redemption card is defined by a peripheral edge of the promotional mailer. The redemption card includes a plurality of coupons detachably cut into the redemption card, a bar code imprinted onto the redemption card, an integrated circuit chip, and/or a scratch-off foil overlying an offer printed on the redemption card. The promotional mailer preferably includes printed matter in the form of a postage area and addressing area outside the redemption card.
