Below is a list of companies that regularly offer coupons in the RedPlum insert. Under each company's name, you will find contact information that will let you easily voice your opinion to them. Let these companies know how Valassis's decision to remove the RedPlum insert from your local newspaper will affect you and your buying patterns. Also let them know that because of Valassis's choice, you will not purchase their products.
A sample form letter:
"Your company regularly advertises in the Red Plum Coupon Insert. Valassis has recently made a decision to no longer put Red Plum coupon inserts in select newspapers. The newspaper I currently subscribe to is one of these. Therefore, I will no longer have access to your coupons, which in turn I assure you will have an impact on whether or not I purchase your product. In fact, I will not be purchasing your product at all. Please take the time to contact Valassis and let them know that consumers like me would like to see the coupon inserts back in our Sunday newspapers."
