Loading ...It didn’t take long for people to start using location and mobile capabilities together. Recently, the daily deals phenomenon has also been linked directly to these functions. While tying these three services together is a challenge, one company called Placecast is making progress.
Alistair Goodman, the company’s CEO, told WebProNews that they wanted to build something that wasn’t an app. They wanted to provide a solution that didn’t drain phone batteries but gave users location-based alerts that businesses could scale as well.
As a result, Placecast developed its ShopAlerts platform that drives users into physical locations from their mobile devices. It is an opt-in service and lets users customize their preferences.
Placecast recently signed a deal with AT&T to bring the service to its customers. Goodman said that the company hopes to expand in other areas of the world and also said that it would be “aggressively” embracing the daily deals space.
Thank you Abbey Johnson and Alistair for the insightful look into Placecast. I’m excited to see what the future brings.
Looking forward to more great content.
Best,
Jason Braud
I precisely had to say thanks all over again. I’m not certain the things that I would’ve created without the entire aspects shown by you directly on my topic. It was actually a terrifying difficulty in my position, however , being able to see the specialized strategy you handled the issue took me to jump for delight. I am just thankful for this guidance and as well , expect you recognize what a powerful job you’re providing teaching most people via your webpage. Most probably you have never met all of us.
