The pamphlets were in use by as early as 1387, when a 12th century comic poem was widely copied and circulated. The coupons were brought into vogue in the 1887 by the Coca-Cola Company, which mailed coupons to potential customers. The coupons generally relate to giving a free product or some offer the customer will be entitles to on buying the particular product.
