SPS first processor of Street Savings mobile marketing

SPS says Street Savings mobile coupons and mobile rewards may now be purchased, provisioned ("boarded") and billed directly through SPS. Independent sales organisations (ISOs) and merchant level sales (MLS) agents gain a one-stop-shopping solution for cost-effective mobilisation of merchants' gift and loyalty programs.

The new business relationship is claimed to simplify the sales process for agents and merchants and is said to indicate a significant vote of confidence for the future of mobile marketing within the payments industry.

"Mobile is here to stay" said Lin Fellerman, president and CEO of Secure Payment Systems. "Street Savings has a well-designed product and business model and their mobile marketing products are a real value-add for our agents."

large retailers embrace it

Large retailers are embracing mobile coupon and rewards programs. Street Savings provides many of the same features of high-end solutions designed for major retailers but at a more reasonable price. Using Street Savings, small to medium sized businesses (SMB's) can build loyalty and improve contact with customers via individualised, timely text messages. Benefits include easy, affordable mobilisation of gift and loyalty programs, reduced marketing costs, and increase sales. Unlike "shared short code" solutions, Street Savings utilises a dedicated short code and its certified mobile marketing program adheres to strict industry guidelines to avoid potential service termination by cell phone companies.
