Savvy Customers Get Offers On The Go
Added: (Wed Jul 12 2006)
You know all those coupons and vouchers you get for local shops and restaurants? The ones you can never find when you need them?
Northern Ireland-based firm, TextStart.com, has devised a way to banish the paper and bring the savings direct to your mobile.
TextStart.com sends mobile coupons and vouchers for registered users' favorite local businesses directly to their mobiles in the form of SMS text messages. It’s completely free and 100% secure - all you do is show the screen in-store to redeem your offer.
"Customers are in complete control," says Managing Director Mark Nagurski, "They can register for free at www.textstart.com, choose the stores they want to get offers from and stop receiving messages at any time. All sorts of local businesses have signed up to offer the service to their customers and will be sending everything from special offers and promotions to competitions and ‘secret’ un-advertised sales."
When you sign up for free at textstart.com, you can choose to receive messages from a growing list of shops, restaurants, bars, hairdressers, cafes and more - all in and around your hometown. Each business also has its own unique code that they’ll be displaying in their place of business. You can add your name to their individual list on the spot by sending that code to 60066.
With text messaging becoming increasingly popular amongst all age groups this is a service that will no doubt appeal to both forward-thinking businesses and savvy customers alike.
