Couponz pushes mobile coupons, offers via iPhone app

The Couponz application uses push notifications to alert consumers of any new deals. In addition, the app incorporates Red Laser Technology that gives consumers the ability to scan the coupons.

“Couponz is looking to provide a revolutionized marketing platform for businesses that can help increase efficiency exponential by streamlining the ability to update consumers with upcoming discounts and promotions while utilizing Red Laser technology to track the demographics of that particular business,” said Dave Gasparine marketing rep for Couponz.

“Couponz is in the process of being developed for other platforms such as Blackberry and Droid, as far as the release date, that is still to be determined,” he said. “I believe mobile coupons are the future and have a buzz because they are easy to use, track and share with friends. Everyone enjoys convenience, especially when it saves them money.”

The application lets consumers browse by different business categories such as auto repair, bar and grill, clothing, health and fitness, music, optometry, real estate, restaurants, retail and sporting goods.

Consumers can check to see which businesses are offering deals.

In addition, consumers can scan the coupon at the point of sale or add it to their favorites to redeem another time.
