REWARDS MEDIA

Loyalty Marketing With Cash

Company Information

Sector:

Advertising, Marketing & PR

Location:

Agoura Hills, California

This is a new type of loyalty marketing program. It's an app that finds you free money.

Here's how it works for consumers:

You download the iOS or Android "Waulit" app, sign up, and then turn on "Discovery Mode."

What you see is a 3D map that displays participating merchants who will give you "cash" to visit their location.

You collect virtual "coins" (essentially, points) at participating locations for actions determined by the merchant. It's like earning frequent flyer "miles" wherever you go.

These game-coins can then be spent instantly as Visa Cash using ApplePay®, Samsung Pay®, PayPal® or Rewards Media's own plastic InstaPay® pre-paid Visa/MasterCard.

And here's how it works for businesses:

Using this Loyalty Platform, participating businesses can reward their customers (and new customers.)

As a comparison, Google Adwords delivers search engine traffic to your website... Rewards Media offers search-engine "foot-traffic" and mobile ads for less than the cost of a direct mail piece.

The company's business model is simple. It charges participating businesses a markup on the points they purchase for distribution to users. The more they pre-buy, the less it costs.

As Linda Giambrone (Producer of Dancing w/the Stars and MasterChef) said: "Probably one of the best ideas I've ever heard, and I've been pitched everything. So I became a Founding Investor."
