FT. COLLINS, Colo. — Approved by Apple, the new Coupon Sherpa application is available at the iPhone App Store. Finish Line, Zales Jewelers, Coldwater Creek, Gordon's Jewelers, CompUSA, Jackson-Hewitt and Tiger Direct are among the over 100 retailers that shoppers can find coupons for on the application. Shoppers can find coupons for men's and women's clothing, electronics, restaurants, pet supplies, sporting goods, and local services.
When shopping at brick-and-mortar stores, consumers show the cashier the appropriate coupon from the application on their iPhone or iPod Touch. The cashier then types in the barcode number, or scans the coupon if that store has an optical scanner.
"We are changing the way people use coupons. We believe this is the future of shopping," said Luke Knowles, who created Coupon Sherpa with his brother, Jesse Knowles. "A friend of ours mentioned that he longed for the day when many in-store coupons would be available on the iPhone. We thought that was a good idea and set out to make it a reality."
