Get discounts and freebies through Findr app

Poised to bridge the big gap between merchants and consumers is an app called Findr whose founders are Ilonggos.

Merchants who desire to reach people near their stores and ultimately get them to patronize their products will find this app beneficial. As Findr partners, they will be able to offer discounts or free coupons for their products and services such as food and beverage, beauty salons and spas, hotels, gadgets, and more.

Salvador Silva Jr III, CEO of Findr app developer Satellite GPS Tracking & Asset Management Systems, explained that Findr app is better than other forms of media to advertise one's product.

"TV or radio may have a wider reach but it is not specific, has no customer engagement, and no evaluation of purchase claims. The advertising fee is also high," he told guests during the launching of Findr in Iloilo City.

Silva also compared Findr with pay-per-click businesses or social media ads. "People click but there is no sure conversion," he said.

"So, we developed Findr. When a merchant posts a coupon, he can set the radius. For example, a coffee shop will offer a 50 percent discount from 2 to 3 pm, those within the coffee shop's radius can easily get the coupon and claim. You can also be creative in making your campaign. With Findr, your product will be open to your market without boundaries," he explained.

He added that Findr app is direct/real-time engagement and the claims can be evaluated.

Meanwhile, consumers who wish to save money through discounts or enjoy freebies can do so by using their Findr points. Each user has a DNA code and can earn points by sharing his code. You need to enter someone’s DNA code in order to activate your Findr account (you may use mine: CSV0MR). If you enter my DNA code, I will earn 5 points and one point is equivalent to one peso.

To earn points yourself, you have to share your DNA code with others by posting it on social media, sending email to friends or tell your friend. When they activate their account using your DNA code, you also earn points.

Let us say you have already earned 100 points. You can redeem it in partner merchants for goodies or services priced at P100. No cash involved.
