In addition to online coupons, digital offers in the way of QR codes and bar codes that you can scan using your mobile phone’s camera, iPad, or Goggle Wallet will be expanding in 2012.  The virtual push can be contributed to the consumer green paperless movement and the technology timely intro to cool digital gadgets like the Google Wallet, a virtual wallet that lets you pay using your phone.  It’s a faster and more convenient way to pay that lets your phone scan bars at the checkout while the phone sends out the payment signal.

Mobile Marketing-Should I join the App Revolution?

We are in the mobile and app revolution right now.  So what business opportunities are there for your business?  Mobile media means that users can interact and converse when and where it is convenient for them. Using social media makes it easy to communicate with customers using social platforms through mobile devices and interact in real time.  Most of you are aware of the popular devices such as Smartphones, iPads, and Androids that provide online connection, cool apps and high resolution viewing capability.

It’s not just the device or hardware that is important. How the device can be used for business opportunities is even more important.

Recently my husband and I took a vacation to the Delaware beaches. The drive is about 8 hours, so when we were driving home from the trip it was getting close to dinner time. We just happened to be driving home on our first wedding anniversary, so we decided to do sushi takeout since we were tired and didn’t feel like going out but still wanted to do something special and fun.

If it’s an online offer – make it an online offer

By Monte Brackett

I recently took a vacation with my family and used my iPad, UrbanSpoon application, to access some information on a nice restaurant in the local area. I recommend the Urban Spoon app for good out of town restaurant finds. I found a Thai restaurant in Celebration, Florida just outside Orlando. It provided me with some good reviews and a coupon code for 10% off our meal. As travelers we did not have access to printing off the coupon so when we arrived we mentioned we had an online coupon to the waitress. She didn’t seem to mind at the time, however when the bill came we were given a hard time about using it because we didn’t have a hard copy. The coupon had an online coupon code but the waitress didn’t seem willing or obliging enough to write it down without a printed copy.
