Market Tech Media Reviews Mobile Savings Apps, Some Shoppers Prefer Paper Coupons

PHILADELPHIA, PA, November 21, 2012

Clipping coupons may seem like an activity reserved for older generations, but the practice of saving money has not become any less prevalent in our society. However, according to a recent article from Smart Money, many marketers have tried to reach out to tech-savvy consumers with mobile apps for couponing. While these programs are designed to make the savings process more organized and streamlined, many users say that the process is actually more trouble than it is worth. As an alternative to mobile coupons, Market Tech Media reviews physical coupons as the contender in the marketing game, noting that printed coupons deliver a greater guarantee to the advertiser.

While technology may prove beneficial to the couponing world eventually, Market Tech Media reviews these strategies as underdeveloped. The article helps highlights some of the kinks these mobile device applications present and states, "These apps can sometimes be a little clunky, however. Consumers on a slower Wi-Fi or cellular data connection may find that it takes a long time to go through the motions of opening the app, looking for deals and then pulling up a screen for redemption." This can lead to longer wait times in stores, causing inconvenience not only among the user, but to other customers and employees as well.

These mobile money-saving app opportunities are also too widespread, according to Market Tech Media reviews. This marketing company believes that there are so many individual retailers and marketers trying to infiltrate this mobile app space, making it difficult for consumers to know where to turn to obtain reliable coupons. In addition to the problems these applications present, Market Tech Media reviews additional problems that these platforms can pose.

In a recent press statement the company adds, "Barcode scanners do not always work well with mobile barcodes present on these app-based coupons! And really, there is a one in 10 chance of someone downloading your coupon app, but it is guaranteed that they will be handed a receipt at time of purchase. Therefore if your business' coupon is on that register tape then you know that the consumer will get it."

Market Tech Media reviews other marketing factors and notes that it is crucial for local businesses to promote in a way that is beneficial to the consumer. According to this company, mobile app coupons are too time-consuming and not free of errors. Market Tech Media continues to provide local businesses with successful advertising methods, such as by designing supermarket register tape ads and placing advertisements on shopping carts for direct impact.
