Industry Overview

Pocketstop’s platform and suite of services can benefit any company within any industry.  However, there are certain industries where Pocket Marketing can quickly complement an existing strategy or be combined with an existing email marketing program to increase uptake and redemption. Here are some industries where Pocket Marketing can quickly affect the bottom line.  These industries are characterized by the following traits.

  • Multi-location (franchised or corporate owned)
  • High frequency of use (products, services, entertainment options and food items)
  • Couponing nature (restaurants, retail, entertainment options & services businesses use discounts to drive business)
  • Email marketing currently in use (companies that have existing email programs can easily add Pocket Marketing , but hurdles exist)
  • Measure, tracking & ROI is a must (companies that need to track advertising spend, track redemptions & measure campaigns need Pocket Marketing )
  • Need to lower the cost of customer acquisition (most industries have a customer acquisition cost between $25 to $35; however some companies such as those that sell insurance products can spend as much as $400 to acquire a new customer)
  • Event-based marketing or promotional marketing is in use (Pocket Marketing can be combined with traditional experiential marketing to provide added benefits)
