CampusMint, the first mobile promotions application geared towards college students, launches.
College students can simply show their cellphones to receive discounts at their favorite stores and restaurants.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 17, 2007 -- CampusMint, an innovative new mobile promotions service, is now available to college students across the country. Using the latest in mobile phone technology, CampusMint gives college students access to discounts and promotions, weather, movie times and entertainment news. The service is simple to use and an eco-friendly way for college students to receive and redeem offers and promotions for a variety of popular products and services near major colleges.
''No more paper coupons to cut or print out and accidentally forget when you want to use them,'' says Doug Herko, VP of Advertising at CampusMint. "CampusMint eliminates paper waste while providing a convenient and ecologically responsible way to make saving money easier than ever before. We get to help the environment while helping out college students, creating a win-win situation for everyone."
CampusMint will launch this coming fall semester in the US' most populated college markets, including Boston, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco and will be available to students at colleges and universities such as Boston College, Boston University, New York University, Columbia University, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and UC Berkeley. Additional colleges included in the CampusMint launch this fall are Brigham Young University, University of Colorado at Boulder, UC San Diego and University of Michigan, among many others. Colleges and Universities are being added weekly, if yours is not on the list, contact CampusMint -- chances are it's on the way.
Joining CampusMint is straightforward and uncomplicated. Simply go to the CampusMint website, and register online. Once registered, students will receive a text message to their cellphones and are instructed to follow the steps below:
1) Press Go
2) Select Download
3) Run CampusMint
4) Wait for progress bar to complete
5) When finished, CampusMint will appear
6) CampusMint is stored and can be retrieved in the apps sections of your cellphone
To redeem CampusMint promotions, students simply show the Offer Screen to the participating merchant (just like redeeming a paper coupon). It's that easy! CampusMint is always free (nominal data charges may apply based individual carriers and plans). Once stored, the application will provide targeted promotions based on your zip code so it's great for traveling -- change the zip code depending on where you are and have access to that area's promotions. CampusMint respects your privacy and time, therefore the service will never spam or text you when you don't want it to. The application regularly updates the offers and waits for the user to access them.
Co-Founder, David Chang says, ''We are excited to offer a mobile phone application for students who are strapped for cash while encouraging merchants to stop using paper offers and promotions. Our motto 'Think Green, Save Green' is the driving force to our dual mission. We see an opportunity to help students financially while at the same time have them help lessen such a negative impact on our environment.''
Currently, students will be able to access promotions from a number of popular merchants including STA Travel, Quiznos and Dave and Buster's (in participating areas), plus scores of local campus retailers. New stores, services and restaurants are being added and updated constantly, so users are encouraged to check their cellphones for updates in their areas.
