New mobile coupons become more easily found and accessible each day, and more shoppers make them a part of their regular shopping strategy. WOWPONS continues to expand the technology of mobile coupons, making it easier for consumers to use these coupons. When considering the pros and cons of using these types of coupons, you're hard pressed to find many disadvantages.
The fact that a many people have a smartphone with them at all times creates an easy fit for stores that want to connect to target demographics and specific audiences on a regular basis. More manufacturers and retailers are joining the WOWPONS cause, giving shoppers more savings options. Manufacturers and grocery stores continue to try to beat each other’s mobile coupons.
If most consumers use a smartphone, and if these shoppers are downloading savings with them, they are more likely to have those coupons available. WOWPONS beats trying to remember to bring the coupons from the house.
WOWPONS tie into shoppers’ rewards cards at major supermarkets. Consumers scan their items and with their phone's camera, and the app will find any available coupons. The found coupons are then downloaded to the rewards card, ready to use when they check out. They just hand over the rewards card, who scans it at the cash register. That’s just smart shopping!
Also, there is no more flipping through a pile of clipped coupons at the cash register to find that the coupon has expired. WOWPONS tells users when their mobile coupons are about ready to expire, and it will tell them where the nearest store is nearest to use the coupon. If a coupon expires before you redeem it, WOWPONS will suggest a similar item that has a coupon.
There are very few disadvantages about mobile coupons. You might leave your smartphone at home, but you're more likely to forget a big handful of coupons at home. Even if you left your mobile device at home, you can use any mobile coupons already loaded onto your rewards card.
Several specialty supermarkets and local grocery stores do not accept mobile coupons yet, which could be a disadvantage. Stores like this often offer unique and specialized products that rarely come with a coupon of any sort. Shopping local positively impacts the economy and environment, but so does WOWPONS. We save money and paper.
The cons of this growing mobile coupons trend are few and far between. WOWPONS introduce a way to save for the many shoppers who already carry their cell phone at all times.

How Mobile Coupons Can Pay for Your Smartphone Data Plan
Mobile coupons may actually help offset your smartphone's data plan, which may save you as much as $50 - $70 a month on your cell phone bill. Here's how:
There was a recent study that showed a family that spent 20 minutes each week clipping and using regular paper grocery coupons and mobile coupons could easily save as much as 20 percent on their monthly grocery bill. That adds up to a savings of $1000 per year — that's based on an average American family spending $5,000 each year for groceries. And $1,000 divided among 12 months is $83 per month, which is more than the cost of most data plans.
A low-cost data plan for a smartphone runs around $30 per month, or $360 per year. Given the $1000 per year savings available on your grocery bill with mobile coupons, the $360 data plan would take slightly more than a third of your savings. By upgrading to a smartphone with a data package and then downloading WOWPONS, that would leave $640 per year, just by using mobile coupons.
Of course, you will need a smartphone to use the WOWPONS app at all, which brings us back to the data plan. Or you could skip the app, and just print coupons directly from the WOWPONS site.
Seventy-five percent of shoppers said they used grocery and entertainment coupons last year, according to another survey. WOWPONS knows that shoppers want significant savings on their annual household budget. And now that more retailers and manufacturers are using WOWPONS more often to reach their customers, some regular cell phone users feel like they're being forgotten on the savings front. Are you a non-smartphone user that thinks the cost of a smartphone data plan is just too expensive?
With mobile coupons on the rise, the savings are becoming more convenient and more targeted for consumers. WOWPONS saves you money on items you already buy. Just scan the barcode on your item with your smartphone's camera. WOWPONS looks for any available retailer or manufacturer mobile coupons for that item. WOWPONS uploads those mobile coupons right your shopper’s store loyalty card. Just give your card to the cashier and your savings will be applied.
Simply by using Wowpons to locate both manufacturer and retailer mobile coupons can take the guess work out of finding hundreds of dollars to put back in your pockets. That money can then be used to get yourself that smartphone with a data package you have been wanting!

Use Mobile Grocery Coupons without a Smartphone
Mobile grocery coupons popularity continues to grow as a result of our struggling economy combined with new developments in cell phone technology, like smart phones. Retailers, restaurants, and grocery stores are working to keep consumers shopping by offering coupons. They have found that smart phones are great way to reach their customers. But just because these grocers target mobile phone users doesn't mean everyone actually owns a mobile smart phone or has the ability to download apps for mobile grocery coupons. Many people still use feature phones (also called flip phones), while others don't own a mobile phone at all.
Knowing that many consumers do not use a smart phone, some mobile grocery coupons companies, like WOWPONS, offer people the option to print these coupons from a home computer. All you need is Internet access and a printer. Online grocery coupons companies let you have access to the same coupons for mobile devices, but on their website in printable form. Some people still prefer a paper coupon and are comfortable cruising the web for deals.
If you're looking to save money on things like groceries, just go to WOWPONS mobile coupons printable coupons page and find any savings available in your area. There is a field on the website where you'll enter your ZIP code to narrow the search to local stores. Enter your ZIP code, and the site will do the rest.
These printable coupons are grouped by categories like Food, Health, and Office Supplies. Some grocery coupons are specific only to a single store chain. Others are manufacturer’s coupons that can be used at any store you chose. Once you have narrowed your coupon search by category and location, we'll show you the coupons. You can “clip” multiple coupons at one time by checking the box next to the coupons you want. There is no limit to how many grocery coupons you can select, so go nuts.
After you have selected your coupons, click the “print coupons” button on the web page, and you're all set.
The printable grocery coupons often look just like traditional regular coupons you clipped from the Sunday newspaper or got in the mail. The coupons will have a barcode on them, so you just have to hand the grocery coupons to the cashier to be scanned.
Just because technology moves and changes so quickly, does not mean that you need to be left behind in the dust. Grocery coupons offer convenient savings not only to consumers with smart phones but to anyone with a computer and printer.

Save Your Vacation Budget by Using Mobile Coupons
Mobile coupons can help you save money on your next vacation, which is good because planning a vacation on a budget can be daunting with our shaky economy. As fuel prices, plane fare, and food prices rise, many Americans are left scrambling just to make ends meet, let alone plan a vacation. Budget travel options are becoming more widely available to keep us vacationing.
Once travelers get to their destinations, they are looking for savings. Mobile coupons make destination savings easier than ever. With the advancement of smartphone technologies, new mobile coupon apps offer you savings no matter where they are.
A major portion of vacation expenses is racked up eating out on the town. Getting the local flavor can be the highlight of a trip for many travelers, but it can be awfully expensive. A great way to cut down on that expense is to limit how many meals are eaten out each day.
For example, just avoid eating breakfast out a few times during your vacation. Take the extra time to sleep in — you are on vacation to relax, after all — and eat breakfast in your hotel room or condo. Or eat a nice picnic lunch when you're at the beach or the amusement park — no need to spend $10 on a hot dog and soft drink at the beach, when you can make an entire picnic lunch for that amount.
Hit the local grocery store to stock up on some basic food items, like granola bars, fruit, and sandwich fixings. Check Wowpons to see if there are any grocery coupons for your favorite items, and to see if they're available at any grocery stores in the area. Pick up the stuff you'll need for a picnic for the beach or having a quick breakfast before heading out for a big outing.
Mobile coupons can save travelers not only on their food dollars but also while shopping for souvenirs or collectables. Vacation destinations can be overflowing with enticing shopping opportunities that can quickly thin your wallet. Many retailers have caught onto the mobile coupons trend, realizing that shoppers are more likely to spend money in their store if they offer coupons. Thrifty vacationers can still indulge in a shopping trip, but can better prepared with mobile coupons to make their traveling dollars stretch. Check Wowpons to see if there are any stores that offer any coupons in your area and make a quick trip before you head home again.
A lot of Americans are working hard for that one vacation and need all the help they can get with their travel budget. Taking advantage of some savings strategies like mobile coupons can help vacationers to better enjoy their destination and find some piece of mind while on that hard-earned getaway.

Mobile Grocery Coupons Give Instant Benefits
Mobile grocery coupons saw an increase in use in 2010, with 75% of shoppers using them. Grocery store owners and manufacturers are taking this as confirmation that shoppers want to save money any way they can.
It's worth it too: a recent study found that a family that spends 20 minutes a week clipping and using grocery store coupons could save as much as 20 percent on their grocery bill. That's $1,000 per year, given that the average family spends $5,000 per year on groceries. And with mobile grocery coupons on the rise, the savings are becoming more convenient and more targeted for consumers who want to see easier savings.
Have you ever been standing in line at the grocery store, when you realize you left that one particular coupon on the counter at home? Should you just not buy the item this week, or race back home to get it, spending extra money on gas and time just to get $1 off toothpaste? Or do you spend the extra dollar? In nearly every case, it's always more cost effective to stay there, but it still could have been avoided.
That's what mobile grocery coupons can do for you. Using a program like Wowpons on your smartphone, you'll never forget your mobile grocery coupons or leave them at home. As long as you've got your smartphone, you've got your grocery coupons.
Mobile grocery coupons save you time. You don't have to spend Sundays flipping through the newspaper inserts, clipping out the coupons you find, and then mapping out your route and schedule to use the right coupons in the right grocery stores. By using a mobile app like Wowpons, you can tie your coupons in to a particular store's loyalty program. When you visit the store and check in with your loyalty program card — which is also stored in the Wowpons app — all coupons will automatically load and redeem themselves. And since some loyalty programs offer their shoppers additional opportunities for savings with accrued points, like discounted gasoline, this can save you more money.
The economy has lead to evolving technology advances that provide consumers with opportunities for instant savings with mobile grocery coupons. You not only save money with mobile grocery coupons, but time used to spend clipping paper coupons.

How to Use Mobile Coupons on a Mobile Phone
With mobile coupons becoming easier to use, the need to clip paper coupons from the Sunday paper has been eliminated. Instead, all you need is a smartphone and the new Wowpons mobile coupons app. We'll take care of the rest.
But in addition to Wowpons, here are four other ways to find special offers with your smartphone.
Text clubs: Some retailers and restaurants are inviting customers to join text clubs, where they can receive occasional messages and special offers available only to club members — "Just follow these instructions, and you'll receive a text message. Show it to the retailer to redeem the offer." These clubs are free to join and help customers find the best deals at their favorite restaurants, stores, and bars.
QR Codes: These are the scrambled squares appearing more and more on retail store windows, in magazines, and even on outdoor billboards. Because they are easily scanned with a smartphone, retailers are adapting their mobile coupons to change with the ever-developing technologies. Just scan a QR code posted on doors, menus, or billboards to find out more about the business and to see if there are any mobile coupons available.
Barcodes: If you can read QR codes, you can also read the traditional barcodes. This allows you to find the best deals or read more information about a product. It also allows some stores to send you to their own store's website, where they can offer special coupons to be redeemed later.
Email: Email campaigns are still a part of the mobile coupon trend because retailers treat their consumers’ email addresses like gold — it's a direct line of communication between them and their customers. Retailers can email a coupon with an embedded barcode or QR code directly to you. When you're at the store, just pull up the email on your phone and have the cashier scan the digital coupon.
Location-based Networks: Some geo-location based networks like Foursquare and Yelp offer coupons to users based on where they are at that exact moment. Imagine you're in a new part of town, and you're looking for somewhere to eat. Turn on your mobile phone, check one of these networks, and see what the app recommends via user generated ratings and proximity to your location. You can even find the restaurants that offer mobile coupons. For example, some restaurants offer a 10% discount if you check in and show your phone to their server.
The more consumers use this growing mobile coupon technology, the more retailers will adapt to our ever-changing mobile habits. This allows them to offer us more valuable coupons and special offers, which result in extra savings on items that are of interest to us. The key is making these coupons easily available and accessible in real time.
