Where2getit Launches New Coupon Locator

WHEELING, Illinois, July 28, 2003 - Where2getit, a premier provider of location-based marketing services launches a Coupon Locator, available to their customers, that allows multiple levels of administrators the option to create original coupons and post them to various locations in their specific DMA, regions, or territories.

The Coupon Program includes an administration area where the administrators can create new coupons, assign coupons to locations, edit coupons, and best of all, set start and expiration dates that will automatically post and remove coupons from locations, eliminating the possiblity of displaying invalid or expired coupons. A whole year’s worth of coupons can be developed in one effort, and can run in conjunction with a current promotion or ad campaign.

Managers have control over several elements on each coupon: design template for look and feel, offer, description, price point, redemption number, start and end dates, and images. Location addresses are automatically pulled to fill that area of the template, and images are available through an image library. The coupons created are then provided as an additional element in the results table of the locator, so that when a user wants to either find a location near them, or obtain a coupon for their local store, they get an offer specific to that location. Finally, each coupon has a link to “Email a Friend”, meaning that anyone can pass on the offer so that friends and family can also take advantage of the savings.

“Based on the statistics from our first clients using this new solution,” said Manish Patel, President and CEO of where2getit, “this program is a success. We’ve seen locator usage jump as high as 5 times what it was, before the addition of coupons. I’d say that’s pretty big indication of the power behind providing an offer to those already looking for a place to buy.”
