GoRebate Launches Location-Based Shopping Apps for Rebate and Deal Seekers Everywhere
GoRebate Mobile taps directly into shoppers' desire for deep discounts and convenience
LEWISVILLE, Texas, July 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Remember when clipping coupons was embarrassing? Well, smart shopping is in, and thanks to mobile apps and bargain bloggers, it's easier than ever. Today's consumers demand great deals - through things like extreme couponing, flash marketing sites and rebates - and no customer expects to pay full retail price. GoRebate Mobile, launching today, taps into consumers' desire to save, and save big, on demand.
Beginning today, consumers are able to download (for free!) the first-ever mobile rebate shopping app available for both iPhone and Android: GoRebate Mobile. GoRebate Mobile is designed to provide consumers with the ability to find great rebate deals on the go, as well as the power to track the status of submitted rebates and receive alerts when a rebate deal is nearby.
More than 83% of consumers are actively seeking rebates, and GoRebate Mobile delivers high-value rebate deals to consumers, based on where they are. GoRebate Mobile provides an unprecedented level of on-demand deal information empowering consumers to get the best deal, on the go. Consumers everywhere are loving rebates: "I am a total rebate fan," stated blogger Las Vegas Coupon Mom. "The rebate is sort of like free money," she continued. "[Rebates] are worth the time and cost of the stamp to me."
"Today's consumers expect great deals and an easy way to research them. GoRebate Mobile empowers the consumer to be presented with and find great deals in their areas using GPS technology," said Juli Spottiswood, President & CEO of Parago, owner of GoRebate Mobile. "Shopping apps are changing the way consumers shop and save. Rebates give consumers deeper discounts than traditional sales and now the process is even easier to find those deep discounts. GoRebate makes it easy for consumers to instantly find rebates on the products they love, in the stores they are near."
GoRebate Mobile is also joined by the GoRebate Community (http://www.gorebate.com), an online source that delivers great deals and money-saving tips. More information about the GoRebate Community can be found on Facebook and Twitter.
GoRebate and GoRebate Mobile are powered by Parago, a leading provider of innovative reward programs that drive behavior and promote customer loyalty. The GoRebate mobile app was created by Bottle Rocket Apps, developer of the popular NPR iPhone and iPad apps, and is currently available as a free download for both iPhone and Android smartphones.
GoRebate Mobile comes on the heels of research conducted by Parago that shows that of consumers who use their phones to look for deals while shopping, 68% are doing so to search specific products and deals. Also, recent Nielsen research indicates that smartphones will account for more than half of the US mobile phone market by the end of 2011. Offering consumers the ability to find deep discounts via rebates will answer the growing market of savvy mobile shoppers.
GoRebate Mobile allows consumers to easily enjoy a robust rebating experience; users are able to:
-- Be presented with available rebates based on their current location
-- Browse for rebates in their area either by retailer or product category
-- Access rebate terms and conditions
-- Share specific rebate promotions with others via text, email, Facebook
or Twitter, or tag them for a reminder at a later date
-- Track submitted rebates to see where they are in the redemption process
-- Track the card balance of their rebates paid out on prepaid cards issued
by Parago
-- Set alerts for rebates by proximity and frequency
For more information about GoRebate, download the application for free in the iTunes App Store or Android Market, or visit http://www.gorebate.com.
