So what if you were walking through the mall or on a street with shops and you received a text alert letting you know your favorite clothing store – the one you were walking toward had a $25 off $50 purchase text coupon available.
Score, huh?
One of the coolest innovations we are seeing for strategic shopping is the use of smartphones for coupons, rewards programs, and text alerts. In addition to many other Smartphone Savings Apps – there is a new program called AT&T Alerts.
AT&T Alerts provides wireless customers discounts, rewards and offers via text message when they need it the most – when they are at the store.
And right now, when you sign up for AT&T alerts you will receive a FREE $5 Starbucks eGift Card.
Here are some things to know:
- Alerts are opt-in, location-based text messages that allows AT&T customers nationwide to save money with relevant offers from nearby retailers on their mobile phones.
- ou can customize your offer settings and preferences so you only receive the offers that are relevant to you.
- AT&T Alerts are FREE for AT&T customers. (No go, if you have another carrier.)
- Participating retailers and brands include Banana Republic, Chuck E. Cheese’s, Discover, Duracell, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Gap, InterContinental Hotels Group, JCPenney, Kiehl’s, Last Call by Neiman Marcus, PayPal, Zales and many more.
And as I mentioned before, when you sign up for AT&T alerts you will receive a FREE $5 Starbucks eGift Card.
So, because AT&T knows that you will use these text alerts to good use, they are giving away a $50 VISA gift card to one lucky KCM reader.
