Make It Easy For Customers To Find Your Great Deals

The following statement is meant as a high compliment: customers are like dogs. A deal needs to be put in front of them in the moment when it’s useful, or – they’re excitable and curious creatures – they will move along to something more interesting with no turning back.

 

Spotsave is a location-based mobile app that allows customers to use local deals conveniently and quickly. By targeting local customers, businesses ensure that their promotions both drive sales and earn customer loyalty as intended.

 

Manager Eddie Rogers tells us more about Spotsave helping small local businesses:

Who are your target customers or users?

Local small businesses and consumers

 

Why do your target customers or users need it?

Save money on local purchases and promote local businesses.

 

When do your best ideas come to you? In bed in the morning? During dinner? On your third beer?

In the morning or on my 3rd beer.

 

 

A lot of people have big ideas. What gave you the confidence to actually go after yours?

There are many apps and companies that offer deals and coupons but none readily available to support our local businesses and to have them make the decision as to how much discount they can give or when you they would like to give a discount.

 

Got any great bootstrapping tips for the lean startups out there?

Keep moving and never stop. It’s hard especially when funds are low – then you start questioning your idea, but if you are passionate about your idea, keep at it no matter what and you will succeed.

 

What other advice do you have for other entrepreneurs struggling to get started?

Find a good support team and know your technology. Plan ahead and build a solid infrastructure that can scale.
