EcoRebates Location-Based Rebates and Incentives Now Available
EcoRebates, a leading provider of web and mobile local incentive search tools for retailers and brands, announced today the availability of EcoRebate’s local incentive search tools on Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) mobile shopping platforms. Mobile users of Best Buy’s award-winning mobile app and mobile web tools will now have access to the same local incentive search tools that visitors to http://www.bestbuy.com enjoy: location and SKU specific rebates and incentives on ENERGY STAR appliances, integrated directly within the product pages of the Best Buy mobile tools, instantly showing savings for products of interest based on the user’s location.
In today’s environment, consumers are turning to their mobile devices to research products to buy, find deals and access location-specific services. Approximately 40% of the nearly 250 million mobile phones in the US are ‘smartphones’ with that share growing rapidly which are now used by consumers to research products while at home, in stores or on the go (Source: Nielsen). Shoppers using Best Buy mobile app and mobile web pages now have instant access to thousands of location-specific rebates and incentives on energy-efficient products while they are browsing those products on their mobile devices.
“We are pleased to extend our relationship with EcoRebates, and offer these location-based savings opportunities as our customers rely on more places, like mobile, to seek energy-efficient products,” said Kris Bowring, senior director, New Business Customer Solutions Group, Best Buy.
“The Best Buy mobile deployment is yet another way in which we are helping the nation’s leading retailers and brands engage their customers across all touchpoints with location-based incentive search and shopping tools,” noted Brett Battles, CEO and co-founder of EcoRebates. “We are now handling more than 4 million location-based incentive search queries monthly across our network,” said Battles, “and, we have helped consumers find hundreds of millions of dollars in incentives based on their location and the product SKUs for which they are shopping.”
