Today's movie rental choices include streaming subscriptions, digital rentals/purchases, kiosks and a few independent shops. Choose the option that matches how you watch - convenience, ownership or physical-media quality.
Blockbuster coupons once drove foot traffic and created urgency for in-store movie rentals. As streaming and subscription models rose, the tactics shifted from printed coupons to digital trials and targeted promotions, but the underlying marketing goals - urgency, simplicity, and competitive response - remain.
Blockbuster once used printed coupons and package deals to bundle rentals, purchases and game offers. After the chain shrank, those savings migrated online - today similar value comes from streaming and game-subscription bundles, digital rental promotions and retailer offers.
