Shop Your Spot is an Indianapolis-based startup company that puts a unique spin on the world of mobile deal apps. My position has me encouraging traditional print coupon customers, predominately casual dining restaurants, to sign up for this cutting-edge technology mobile app to engage and transact on a lower cost, more efficient basis. Shop Your Spot merchants pay a minimal, flat monthly subscription fee and keep 100% of their revenue, as opposed to Yelp and Groupon, and the ROI of this offering is higher Shop Your Spot merchant partners use a marketing tool which lets merchants have complete control of their offers and event information from start to finish, and can change offers on an as needed basis.

Rather than waiting on edits and approvals from the deal site, merchants can easily create and submit their own offers and information allowing customers to take advantage of them in real-time. Merchants are provided with detailed analytics, giving them an undeniable advantage in future and present planning compared to other marketing channels such as direct mail and print advertising. Merchants are seeing, on average, a 25 percent offer redemption rate, far exceeding the 3-5 percent redemption rates of traditional printed coupons.

For consumers, Shop Your Spot provides a completely new approach to purchasing. In times when most people are searching for the best deals in hopes to save a dollar, Shop Your Spot delivers the first collaborative site to bring dynamic, real-time deals and event information together in one easy to navigate mobile app. Shop Your Spot’s precise profile building system ensures consumers receive only the deals that are important to them; products and services they want from the retailers they choose.
