Integrated mobile wallet and marketing solution will enable retailers to deliver targeted offers to customers, prospects
CorFire™, the mobile commerce business of SK C&C USA and the leading provider of mobile technology solutions; and edosm, the leader in personalized card-linked offers, will integrate the edo card-linked offers platform with CorFire’s mobile wallet solution and suite of mobile marketing services, which includes loyalty and gifting. This partnership will create a consumer-focused mobile wallet that will enable merchants, advertisers and financial institutions to deliver real-time, targeted rewards and offers to their customers via the mobile channel.
The joint solution delivers highly-targeted, real-time offers tailored to consumer shopping activity and location. This enables merchants to reach new and existing customers with more relevant and valuable offers. Additionally, this scalable, secure mobile offering is designed to increase overall basket value and provide merchants with higher redemption rates.
The combined solution will feature a data analytics engine built on predictive data – consumers’ transaction data. Combined with location-based technology, the solution provides edo and CorFire the ability to deliver targeted offers at the location where a consumer is most likely to make another purchase, in close proximity to another merchant’s store. Merchants and financial institutions will benefit from the ability to drive customers’ tender choice and increase consumer engagement. They also will create a strong one-to-one communication channel with the customer and enhance their current and future CRM campaigns.
“Consumers want simple and relevant offers that are easy to redeem and fit their mobile lifestyle, while advertisers are searching for solutions that will position them to meet this demand in a profitable and measurable way,” said Ed Braswell, CEO and president of edo. “Our partnership with CorFire will allow marketers to easily target based upon transaction behavior – creating the new standard for in-store mobile advertising.”
The integrated CorFire mobile wallet and edo card-linked offers platform is currently in Beta testing and will be widely available later this year.
“By merging our mobile technology with the edo card-linked offer platform we can provide merchants and financial institutions with a powerful mobile solution to engage their customers, build loyalty and ultimately improve revenues,” said Sang Yook, chief strategy officer of CorFire.
