It's simple. People don't redeem paper coupons like they used to. It's a hassle to print them, cut them out, and remember to keep them in your pockets so you can have them handy just at the right moment.
On the other hand, people have their phones with them at all times and so the redemption rates for mobile coupons are much higher compared to paper coupons.

BOTTOM LINE
