Pros and Cons of Mobile Coupons

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.
