Yowza!! is expanding its mobile couponing service to reach small businesses that haven’t before had the opportunity to take advantage of this growing trend. Interested companies can sign-up from a dedicated page, where they will be prompted to list their location and then present their offers to the world. The new service costs local businesses $49 per location per month and allows up to three coupons to be offered at a time. No action is required on Yowza!!’s part for ongoing management of coupons — businesses can change or update offers as often as they’d like with no additional fees (in a three-offer quota, that is).
In addition, each of the businesses registered receives the so called “welcome packet” that includes easy instructions on how to get the most out of Yowza!!, decals to be placed in storefront windows telling consumers that mobile coupons are accepted, and a simple training guide for cashiers and other staff.
As a reminder, Yowza!! has recently introduced version 2.2 of their iPhone app and has added support for local businesses in Austin, Texas.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
