ePrize, a digital and mobile engagement solutions provider, announced the availability of real-time, location-based Passbook capabilities for brands seeking to leverage the latest iOS6 mobile commerce feature to better connect with consumers and drive sales.
With the upgrade, brands can integrate gift codes, coupons and digital prizes earned via loyalty programs; build mobile CRM programs and chance-to-win campaigns; and allow consumers to store these in Passbook. Brands also can create location-based and timed alerts to make offers appear when a consumer physically is at the point of redemption or when the offer is about to expire.
“Imagine a consumer walking by their local coffee house and getting a notification that their free coffee offer will expire soon and that they can now change that offer to a free cappuccino today?” stated Sagar Parvataneni, SVP of Technology at ePrize, in a company press release. “Passbook is simply the best way to ensure that your coupons and offers get into the hands of as many mobile users as possible. It also allows brands to get their feet wet with the technology that Apple will certainly use to roll out a mobile payment solution on the iPhone in the near future.”
