These days, it’s practically unnecessary to pay full price for anything. Coupons and deals are everywhere. It’s just a matter of doing a little research to find the best price, whether it’s at that new restaurant you’ve been dying to try, your favorite shoe store or the neighborhood florist.
Clipping paper coupons is one way to go, as demonstrated by some popular “extreme couponers.” For other people, mobile coupons are a great alternative. They have been around for a while, but finding and using them hasn’t always been easy for consumers.
This article highlights a recent study conducted by the Mercator Advisory Group, an independent market research organization, regarding mobile coupons.
According to the report, 55% of mobile consumers in the U.S. are interested in receiving mobile coupons, especially through interaction with NFC technology. The report notes, however, that only 10% of consumers have ever received a coupon. Those that have not received a coupon claim that they were lead to believe that they would receive one by participating in some sort of advertisement. This has left some consumers dissatisfied and disinclined to participate in mobile marketing campaigns in the future.
Now there’s another option: photo coupons. Photopon does most of the legwork for you. Don’t worry about scanning QR codes or dealing with advertisements on your phone. Instead, you check in at certain locations, and your phone searches for the proximity of available deals in your area. Want to tell others? Take a photo, combine it with relevant deals, and hit send to all of your friends.
As technology makes it easier to find deals, businesses are encouraged to offer more incentives such as discounts and rewards programs. The overall result is that they drum up more business and you and your friends save some dough.
The social aspect is fun, as well. Not only are you sharing a picture of your delicious meal with your friends, but you can also send someone a coupon and say, “Hey, let’s meet here for dessert.”
Once your friends and family experience this unique way to share deals, they’re sure to keep spreading the word to others. Contact us today to learn more and to take advantage of Photopon rewards.
