Why have multiple rewards cards in your household to your favorite store when you can share one and combine the rewards?  You can share your cards with your family and even close friends.

2. Geolocation

You may have already had some experience with CardMobili Offers, our coupon and savings feature available on iPhone and soon to be available on Android.  But did you know in the upper right hand corner of the tab there is a locate button that allows Cardmobili to locate great saving opportunities near your location.  Not only does it find them, but it will give turn-by-turn directions directly to the store.

3. Create your own cards

Do you have a card in your wallet that CardMobili hasn’t added yet? While we work on it, you can create the card yourself!  Sign in to CardMobili.com with your account and click green button above the cards that says “Create”.  All you have to do then is fill in the information.  You can even customize it with a picture of your choice. More space in your wallet!

Consumers demand more from the mobile retail channel

Recently, e-marketer analised what shoppers really wanted from mobile apps: an overall majority answered "money-off coupons". In the rise from the global recession, brands can offer value to their consumers using the emerging mobile channel, delivering deals, product research data and store location, among other valued info.

Therefore, two major challenges arise for 2011: ending consumer frustration with m-commerce offerings, by delivering what consumers are looking for; and improving mobile websites, as recent research shows that consumers are more likely to purchase from retailers with mobile websites, confirming the rising trend of m-commerce adoption.

Stay tunned for our post on mobile trends for 2011, just before the New Year!

Check-in loyalty - are you checking-in to your favorite brand?

In the last few months, check-in services like Gowalla, Foursquare, Whrrl and many others gained more and more public awareness. Recently, Facebook also tapped into location base services with Facebook Places. Trying to keep up with consumers’ habits, many brands are currently tapping users of these services to drive store traffic, rewarding customers with a minimum number of check-ins with perks and offers, such as free Wi-Fi or a free coffee cup.

This kind of “check-in” loyalty brings new challenges to consumers' interaction with brands. For some consumers, these services raise privacy issues: by publishing the user location based on its GPS position, others (including brands) are now aware of that user location, which means that the customer can be identifying himself even before making a purchase. Many other users of these check-in services tend to consider these apps as a game, with the additional advantage of ending up winning perks from brands that have joined the bandwagon.

As a consumer, what do you think of this kind of loyalty-based rewards programs that take advantage of check-in services? Are you participating in one of them, or just using one of these check-in apps? Would you like your favorite loyalty programs and coupons to reach you this way? Vote on our newest poll, and share your thoughts – we look forward to reading your opinions!
