Yowza adds affiliate program

May 26, 2010

Yowza!!, a paperless mobile coupon application, has announced the launch of its new Affiliate Program. According to the company, the affiliate program offers a 25 percent commission to individuals or organizations that bring new retailers, restaurants or other merchants on board.

The Yowza!! Affiliate Program expands the company’s sales team by offering strong incentives to anyone who promotes the application via their website, email, social media or word of mouth. Less than two months ago, Yowza!! launched a self-serve option, and since then, five to seven new local businesses per week have signed up as clients in markets ranging from Riverwood, IL, and Grand Prairie, TX, to Huntington Beach, CA and New York, NY.

"Yowza!! users are incredibly loyal and very quick to tell their friends whenever new brands and deals go live," said Greg Grunberg, co-creator of Yowza!! "We feel the Yowza!! Affiliate Program is a great way to not only reward these users, but also introduce mobile coupons to small businesses based in the same markets in which our biggest fans live. Who better to introduce cool local businesses to the concept of mobile coupons than users who shop and dine locally every day?"

In total, over 250 retailers, restaurants and other merchants have partnered with Yowza!!, in 15,000 locations nationwide, with each Participating Retailer paying $49 per location per month, and able to change or update offers as often as they’d like with no additional fees (up to three coupons may be offered at a time). Users — who are 52.6 percent male and 47.4 percent female, with an average age of 35 — can search for deals by location — from one to 50 miles away from where they are at any given time — retrieve a coupon, and then present it to the cashier who can scan or enter a coupon code directly from their mobile device.
