Features – mobile apps for retail

Coupons, Coupons, Coupons

Prove your mobile app is doing the right thing by providing coupons through your app. The user must come in store to use it. Beat the showrooming craze by providing an offer that is too good to refuse. Here are three great reasons to provide coupons via your mobile app:

1. Mobile coupons have higher redemption rate than other coupons.
2. Mobile coupons are a great conversion and loyalty tool.
3. Coupon redeemers tend to have higher than average order sizes.

Business Opportunity

Use push notifications to update on new and exciting opportunities or events in your area. List businesses and services through the locations, and help people find what they want.

Articles & News

Promote your events, local news, highlights and promos by importing your existing posts, news, and video seamlessly via our plugins for WordPress, Drupal, and Ning. We can also pull in your content via RSS from your website, and make it accessible for your users.

Videos, Photos & Podcasts

Put up your promotional videos, product highlight reels, and promos to drive ongoing use of the app. All can be pulled in from YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, Vimeo. Or using RSS from another source like your website. Podcasts and soundtracks can be integrated from SoundCloud.

People, Maps and Directions

Partner up with local businesses and get voting and comments on shops, restaurants and locations to gather valuable feedback. Link your users to the locations they are trying to get to with directions on the phone.

Community & Social Networking

Connect your fans through your own in-app community. Status updates, photo sharing and more allow for maximum user engagement. Apps are integrated with Facebook, Twitter, Ning and Foursquare to provide seamless authentication and sharing for your users.

Custom Content & Analytics
