Save me
Who’s helping consumers save money these days? Some very clever start-ups have come up with the solutions:
BillShrink: delivers personalized rewards through your bank via your online statement. BillShrink partners with the places that you shop to help deliver savings rewards based on spending habits. It turns your banks’ debit or credit card into a master loyalty card.
SocialTwist: helps consumers save money through social coupon campaigns. A brand—like Huggies for example—will offer a $1.50 off product coupon online. SocialTwist helps enable sharing across social channels whereby if the consumer elects to share the coupon with their friends—they’ll get $3 off instead. The service is experiencing 50-80% redemption rates primarily because of organic peer referrals.
Swagbucks: Millions of people are using Swagbucks every day to earn virtual currency and real-life rewards for performing the everyday actions they already take online. Search the web on Swagbucks, play games, shop online, watch videos, fill out surveys and “cha-ching” users earn branded virtual currency — Swag Bucks — that translate into real-world rewards and prizes, including electronics, video games, collectibles, apparel, books, music downloads, gift cards, toys, jewelry, accessories, and more.
