Clean Out Your Wallet: How Mobile Commerce is Changing Consumer Loyalty

Remember those paper loyalty cards that you used to get at Subway, Smoothie King, etc?

Those are soon to be like the VHS and the cassette: things of the past.  With new mobile technology, consumers are soon going to be able to leave their wallets at home.  Merchants will also be able to provide better targeted rewards and discounts directly to a consumer’s mobile wallet.

Check out the article below to see how the mobile space is revolutionizing the consumer loyalty card.

What’s Sweet This Week?

While the end of summer is never any fun, there is always a bright spot: a new Fall TV lineup! And this year did not disappoint. The start of September brought us new comedic sitcoms like New Girl, Up All Night, Whitney and Free Agents; new sexy action-thrillers like the Playboy Club, Revenge, Pan Am and the re-made Charlie’s Angels, and the newest singing competition, the X Factor.

Did you catch all those premieres? Which new shows made it to your must-watch list?

A Barkin’ Good Time

Shooger had a great time at the Animalia Pet Expo this past weekend! We saw lots of cute and talented cats and dogs, ferrets, reptiles, ponies and donkeys and even a little hedgehog!

There was much to do and see with all the fashion shows, grooming demonstrations and merchandise shops with pet furniture, collars, bowls and more.  Shooger’s SweetDeal merchant Doggie Bag Café was there with a doggie restaurant complete with doggy chairs, tales, menus, and doggie beer and wine!
There were also many pet adoptions from the Humane Society that took place over the weekend, including one by Shooger’s own Monique Sampedro! She adopted Miles, a half chow / half border collie. He’s all black with a teeny white streak on his belly, and is very laid-back and calm.

Miles was a stray who was found, then given to the Humane Society. The year-and-a-half year old was there for 5 months and was a shelter favorite because of his sweet nature. We’re so happy that Monique was able to take Miles home, and that everybody had a barking good time at the Expo- we sure did!
