The Power of Mobile Coupons: Driving Online to Retail
By Lisa Valentine October 2, 2009
There are currently about 267 Million people in the U.S. using mobile phones. This proliferation of mobile devices in the marketplace has spawned the mobile application as promotional marketing tool. There are literally thousands of mobile apps available for the iPhone devices, and the BlackBerry Application Store is not far behind.
A frequent request we hear from our clients: we need to have online drive to retail as part of our web strategy. One way to do this is via AlterSeekers’ Mobile Coupons-On-Demand. Consumers shopping online or participating in an online promotion can instantly receive coupons on their mobile devices that can be redeemed in store. These mobile coupons are electronic and tie-in directly to the retailer’s back-end POS systems so that manufacturers can easily track and measure response and redemption rates.
Another variation in mobile couponing is AlterSeekers’ Text on the Savings mobile app. By leveraging our mobile coupon technology, consumers are now empowered to forward highly sought-after offers to their friends using simple text messaging. Unlike previous text coupons, however, the codes are being generated from the retailer’s back-end system so the fraud-related issues are eliminated. Ultimately, the retailer (and in some cases, the manufacturer) are in complete control of the offer and the viral nature of the promotional campaign.
The way that AlterSeekers creates these types of mobile apps is unique because most mobile (phone) marketing companies focus on the wrong kind of advertising and marketing goal. That is, rather than focusing on how to complete the sales transaction, most of today’s mobile marketing companies instead focus on awareness campaigns such as banners on mobile phones, text voting, and pure information-only campaigns.
AlterSeekers is truly a full service marketing services agency that focuses on the sales transaction, and therefore our products and services are unique to solving common business problems involving the final sale, either at retail, online or via the mobile device.
Lisa Valentine is the Director, Account Services for AlterSeekers. She brings over 20 years of experience in progressively responsible positions in promotional marketing and account management for companies including Don Jagoda Associates, MediaAmerica/Jones Satellite Networks, Marden-Kane and Seismicom, where she handled Fortune 100 client accounts.
