Learn how we helped a social media organization build a location-based mobile advertising app that enables users to discover, redeem, and share nearby local deals.
Objective
The client wanted to create an integrated location based advertising app and social media solution for mobile users. The solution would enable users to leverage location based services and discover offers and deals at nearby retailers through advertising. They can even communicate through social media features like chat and share the offers with their friends. After selecting the offer the user can visit the store and show the deal at the point of sale for redemption, helping retailers reach out to more customers.
Challenges
- Limited audience size and lack of engagement
- Adapt the user interface to minimize user interaction
- Integration of location-based advertising and social media utilities
- User privacy and security
Approach
The development team at Rishabh Software analyzed and mapped the client’s requirements into multiple phases. To deliver rapid location based mobile app development, the team created reusable components to provide location based advertising and social media features enabling retailers to tap into the ever-growing smartphone user base. The solution is integrated with Facebook and Twitter for sharing offers easily through these social media platforms.
