A recent article came out in Mobile Commerce Daily discussing the massive growth of mobile coupon use and the lack of stickiness of many native apps. View the article by clicking the logo below.

It is as if I wrote the article personally.  AvidMobile has been discussing to our reseller and white label partners for years about the effectiveness of Mobile SMS and Text Coupon campaigns vs. Native Mobile apps.  And the results are more than in.

In the article Chris Fagan states, “… and the app stores are littered with unused apps” .  We have seen time and time again the truth of developing native application for different styles of business from restaurants to retailers and then they sit back and wait for their consumers or potential consumers to download and use the app.  They are still waiting…

AvidMobile specializes in database building through incentivizing customers through broadcast media and at the point-of-sale to register.  These consumers can register through a variety of compliant means like texting in to a keyword on a short code or typing their mobile number into a kiosk, or even through integrations with POS or online systems.  When these consumers do so, they receive one-time redemptions mobile coupons delivered through the AvidMobile application.  (Which can be completely white labeled for those that want to resell these features to the companies out there that want it.)

These consumers have also opted into a database which allows the business to continue to re-market to those individuals to drive the behaviors they desire, mainly additional or increased transactions.

AvidMobile provides businesses with this tool that also allows them to “Share” their offer on social media.  There is an incredible incentivized social sharing program that has been developed and deployed with countless organizations which is a massive new customer acquisition tool.  You can see more about our one-time redemption SMS/Text Coupon tool on our YouTube channel, check it out below.
