Retail chains with thousands of locations in the U.S. are using CodeBroker’s mobile loyalty and couponing solution as an integral part of their marketing efforts to improve the customer experience. Powered by CodeBroker, Target now offers mobile coupons in its 1,800 stores, the first company to roll out such a program on a national basis.

Every two weeks, consumers who subscribe to the Target program receive an SMS message with a link to a multi-item coupon that features a single, scannable barcode that works on over 500 different mobile phones. While the coupons are pushed every two weeks, if a consumer somehow loses his/her offer, it can easily be retrieved by texting the word “OFFERS” to Target.

To use the Target mobile coupon, consumers simply have the barcode on their mobile device scanned at the checkout. Each item on the coupon can only be purchased once at the discount price.

To make it easy for consumers to track which offers have been used, CodeBroker smart mobile coupons mark individual items as redeemed when consumers use their coupons.
