Want to reach out and pull customers into your store through their mobile phones? Slifter, a mobile phone app, puts your latest deals and specials into messages pushed to phone users by ZIP code.
Users can see photos of the goods on sale, your location and the deal details. They can immediately call your number, forward the deal to friends or save the deal to a shopping list.
Here’s the best deal: it’s all free to the merchant. You don’t even need a website.
Slifter is aiming at small businesses, but it’s not small-time; Slifter’s technology powers Citi Shopper, a local deal-finder and shopping app for cardholders of the financial giant Citi, which claims to already have 800,000 mobile banking customers.
