Fantastic New Scanning Feature for CardMobili Android!

With the update of CardMobili for Android, many important and fantastic changes were made to the app, such as allowing cards to be accessed offline, being able to add cards directly from the phone, and greatly increasing the speed. 

One of most convenient features that we added is the ability to scan your cards directly into your phone.  While CardMobili is already easy to use, this aspect makes it that much simpler.

Normally, you would enter your cards information into CardMobili by typing in the number. But now, once you have selected a card to add, all you have to do is click the Bar code Icon on the right to select the scanner, focus the scanner and, Voilá! Your information will be automatically transferred to your virtual card. It’s as simple as that.

At the moment, barcode scanning is exclusive to Android. However, this great time saving feature will soon be available on other platforms. CardMobili is here to simplify your life and we are always working to improve it for you. Give us your feedback; we want to know how we can make your life even easier!

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!

CardMobili Releases All New Android App

Last week CardMobili released of the newest edition of our application for the Android platform.  Our goal was to provide an application for our valued Android users that will truly make their lives easier.  We went back to the drawing board after our last version and created an entirely new and redeveloped version that redefines the app for Android.

What’s new?

The entire interface of the app was redesigned to improve the ease of use for CardMobili.  After all, CardMobili is all about making your life easier!  Likewise, we increased the speed and efficiency so that you won’t waste any time at the check-out counter. The home screen also features a “favorites” tab that organizes the cards you use the most, even further increasing the efficiency of use. 

Users now have the option to add cards directly from the app on the phone instead of having to add them only on the website.  It is easy to do so on the home page by simply pressing the “+ Add Card”.   

One of the biggest adaptations of the new version is that users can now access their cards offline, anytime they want.  Whether you are connected to the web or not, you will never be without the convenience of your cards.  They are safely stored both on your phone and in the cloud.  Because they are stored in the cloud, this means that you can access your cards anywhere in the world on any mobile device.   Never be without them!

The purpose of CardMobili is to make your life less complicated and saving you money every time you shop.  With this new Android version we aim to accomplish both of these goals for the Android community.  Still, there is always room to improve and we love to hear your insights.  Give us your feedback so we can make CardMobili the most useful app in your phone.

Money Saved is Money Earned

There are many differences among people in the world: we look different, we talk differently, we even smell different.  But there is one common thread that links each of us to the rest of humanity.  No, I’m not talking about American Idol.  I’m talking about saving money! Whether you are trying to save a couple million on your luxury super yacht or you’re hijacking your neighbor’s wi-fi connection, we all love a good bargain.

At Cardmobili, we always search for ways to help you save money.  We’ve spent countless days and nights developing a top-notch application to help you clear up some vital real estate in your wallet. Now we are going to give you some tips to help you save so you can fill up that vacuous void where your cards used to be with some cold, hard cash.

1.  Create a monthly budget

Creating a budget is a fantastic tool for saving money.  Figure out how much need to spend on transportation, rent, food, interpretive dance lessons, etc, and stick to it! With your expenses accounted for you can decide how much to spend on yourself and how much to put aside and save. 

2. Save your loose change!

If you pay with cash often, hold on to all that pesky change you get back. Don’t allow it to be eaten by your car seats or your couch. Put those coins in bowl or a jar and don’t touch them until it is full.  Once it is, exchange it for paper money. In the UK and USA, avoid coin counting machines that charge you a convenience fee, which can be upwards of 15-20% of your savings. Instead, buy coin rolls and do it yourself

3.  Sign up for more loyalty programs!

Most major stores these days provide some sort of loyalty or rewards programs. They are there for one reason: to reward you for your business. Whether you shop there every day or ever decade, sign up for that program. With Cardmobili you don’t have to worry about losing it or forgetting it at home. It will be patiently waiting on your phone.

At Cardmobili, our goal is to save you as much money as possible.  In the coming weeks we will be announcing some major news on how we can help to put money back in your wallet were it belongs.  Stay tuned…….

What does loyalty mean?

What does the word loyalty really mean to you? According to Dictionary.com, loyalty is defined as “the state or quality of being loyal; faithfulness to commitments or obligations.” Here at CardMobili, loyalty isn’t just a characteristic of our friendly staff. It is also our business and our passion.

When we say we are passionate about loyalty, we mean PASSIONATE. Members of our team have been known to get tears in their eyes at the mere mentioning of the word. To us, loyalty is much more than not dating your friend’s ex girl/boyfriend or being there to pick up a friend from jail. Loyalty, to us, is witnessed in that exquisite moment when shopper and retailer are joined together in a symbiotic relationship where both sides can benefit equally from the other.

This beautiful partnership manifests itself in the form of a loyalty program, where the shopper benefits from the savings and rewards on the fantastic items they purchase and the retailer gains a dedicated and devoted customer. Our goal at CardMobili is to uphold and support this blessed union of shopper and retailer. We give you the means to access your cards anywhere, anytime. We believe loyalty shouldn’t be dependent upon a tiny plastic card. We want you to get savings every time you shop, no matter where you are, and that is our mission. You could say that CardMobili is loyal to loyalty :)

This past Monday, at approximately some time during that day, CardMobili released the newest update for its Windows Phone 7 app.  If by reading this you lost consciousness and have just come to, I want to assure you that it was not a dream.  It is true, CardMobili bequeathed to the world an updated application that surpasses its noble predecessor by leaps and bounds. 

Our development team has been endlessly laboring and toiling to bring to you a product that not only makes your life easier by storing you cards, but does it at such an alarming velocity that only a high-speed camera can detect it.  Ok, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but you get what we mean. 

With our newest update, we cut in half the previous time it took for you to load the app and access your cards for use. The new version contains all the same features that have been making your life easier, but it’s been supercharged so that you can save money and collect rewards with more efficiency and ease. 

Now, the next time you go shopping with CardMobili, instead of loading the application while you’re still searching for socks to match your new shirt (exaggerating again), you can wait to open it when you get to the front of the checkout line.  Everyone in line will praise you for your technological prowess, and compliment you on your stylish choice of socks. 

The point is, update your CardMobili for Windows Phone 7.  Not only is it faster and smoother, but it is still free like always.  So go download it today and never be without your cards again.  Enjoy world.

Who are the new Marketing Heroes?

“Marketing Heroes” is the theme of this year’s edition of the APPM International Marketing Congress, which is taking place in Lisbon. From the 4th to the 8th of April, The APPM will be highlighting and honoring managers, entrepreneurs and professionals who have developed brands and successful business projects, despite the struggling economy.

"New Heroes of Marketing" are not necessarily "marketers" in the strict sense of the word. They are people - certainly with a marketing perspective - who knew how to launch individual projects and sometimes create new niches and categories that are unique in the marketplace. Yesterday, Cardmobili was among those companies of various industries that were invited to discuss many of the hottest topics on innovation.

Growth is the cornerstone of any successful business and innovation is one of the key drivers of growth. When we think about innovation, we typically think about the result, not the process. But innovation is not getting anything to market; it's getting the right product or service to market. So, this requires a commitment to the consumer.  It is not the speed of deployment that matters, but rather the speed at which you recognize the customer’s needs.

There is a lot of room for innovation, but it is a rigorous process. We need to spend more time looking and listening for the insights that will solve our challenges - both for consumers and our businesses. True innovation takes a bit of planning. But when innovation is encouraged, appreciated, and enacted it can transform a good organization into a great one!
