What Is A Mobile Offer?
Mobile offers are offers that you can send directly to your
customers’ mobile phones. Customers redeem them at a business just like a traditional coupon — by presenting the text message
on their phone to the cashier.
Before you can send an offer, the customer signs-up for the service at your store, at SmashRewards.com, or by getting an invite from one of their friends. Signing up is quick and easy. Once customer are signed up, they are ready to get offers from you.
Develop a Personal Relationship Through Your Customer’s Mobile Phone
SMS is a highly personal means of communication, and most of the time customers view an SMS immediately and read the whole message. This high level of attention means a higher “call-to-action” response rate than printed coupons offer. And delivering offers via SMS is a terrific way to get closer than ever to your customers’ purchasing decision at any time and everywhere.
What Does It Look Like?
Here’s how a merchant might use Smash Rewards...
Anthony’s Italian Restaurant
Anthony does a great dinner business but lunch has always been slow. He decided to boost his lunch business by offering a special promotion good from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM around an unusually good buy of fish he made by the wharf. He sends the offer by 10:30 AM; by noon he is filled with customers enjoying fresh fish, caught the night before, at incredible prices. Anthony is happy. So are his customers — who are getting the deal of the week from Anthony’s restaurant and Smash Rewards.
Yeah, But Will My Customers Get It?
You bet! With more than 80% of the U.S. population using mobile phones, SMS is well and truly integrated into the lifestyle of your customers.
And, older Americans are tech-savvy these days. For example, the biggest increase in Internet use since 2005 is the 70-75 year-old age group.
Today, the fastest growing demographic on Facebook is women over 55. It took the TV show American Idol to give the U.S. the kickstart needed
to get text messaging flowing, and now one out of nine votes cast on the show is through texting. When it comes to technology, older Americans have
clearly done a cultural reboot!
Is A Mobile Offer Better?
Absolutely! A mobile offer has a couple of big advantages over traditional printed offers, such as coupons:
- It’s Faster. Much faster. Real-time, in fact. You can reach customers instantly by sending offers to their mobile phones. You can create offers “on the fly” — on our Web site or through SMS on your phone if you’re offline.
- It’s More Effective. Because your customers always have their phones with them, there’s no risk of them forgetting to clip coupons or to bring them along. Add the immediacy of a text message and you get much higher redemption rates than for paper coupons.
- It’s Viral.The technology makes it easy — even encourages individuals — to pass on an offer to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the offer’s exposure. Your customers do all the work for you!
