Numerous deals of the day and voucher services are being launched as competition in this space hots up…
The latest arrival is called VoucherMob and uses an iPhone app to target customers and offer savings for shoppers.
Users can select from a list of retailers and have special offers sent direct to their phone. The geo-location function in iPhones also means that when shoppers are near to a store they have on their favourites list, they will be automatically alerted to the latest deals.
Customers show the phone display of the voucher when making the purchase to receive the discount within the allocated timeframe the special price applies to.
The deals are managed by retailers themselves, allowing the retailer to set the price, duration and quantity of offer available to customers.
