Check-ins With A Commercial Twist: Rewards given for retail visits

convertiv Dec 11, 2013

A new commercial check-in mobile ad product is now available to retailers. SessionM, a Boston-based digital ad firm, developed the offering for its hundreds of clients with apps, which are now able to push rewards to consumers’ smartphones. Consumers are notified of deals that can be redeemed by checking in at stores. The service works by sending messages to smartphones for brands to alert consumers about where they can buy a product, such as Leap Motion pinging users with a promotion at a nearby Best Buy.
