package deal

Just a suggestion:

magazine + internet package deal offer
Peer comment(s):

agree Carole Muller : I would use package deal too in that context, it's the parallel term you see most frequently p.t. on the net for "packaged offers" which is what couplage is.

This related term from Barron's Dictionary of Marketing Terms

piggyback commercial
two or more broadcast commercials aired one after the other, featuring different products of the same sponsor. advertisers use piggyback commercials to get two or more unrelated advertising messages into the time allocated for one, without increasing commercial time. Advertisers generally purchase commercial spots from stations and network as a single unit.

There is also the piggyback label (pressure-sensitive label)
label with a gummed adhesive backing that can be peeled off the backing material and applies permanently to another surface simply by pressing [...] Pressure-sensitive labels are sometimes included in direct-mail packages to perform the dual function of addressing the package through a window envelope and enabling the recipeint to peel off the label and apply it to an order form (also called piggyback label), making it easier for the recipient to complete the order form and increasing the likelihood of response.


Peer comment(s):

disagree Carole Muller : Sorry, disagree, piggybacking is for ex. when business A gets together with film producer B to have B show A's prodcts "just as a coincidence" for instance A's soft drink is shown on a table while people sitting around the table argue. A is piggybacking B
