As part of a pilot run to inspire consumers to try hands-free shopping, Google and Target created a voice coupon that could be used with purchases placed through Google Assistant.
Through the Google Express shopping service, customers are now able to redeem a $15 coupon through the voice-activated Google Assistant. This coupon is being offered for a limited time throughout the month of April and will hopefully expose the average consumer to the benefits of voice ordering.
Voice ordering coupons of this kind have the potential to guide a greater number of consumers to try shopping through smart devices and voice assistants, while also allowing them to discover the many other benefits of the AI devices from Google.
