Huzzah Launches New Tools to Help Small Businesses Chart their Digital Course
The Woodlands, TX (PRWEB) April 02, 2014 -- A new study shows nearly half of small business owners say repeat customers are their best source of revenue; however, less than 20 percent have a mobile app and even fewer (17 percent) are using a loyalty program. The survey of small business decision makers shows the majority has yet to increase their online presence because of the cost and time required to manage it. That’s why today, Huzzah Media is launching new services, designed specifically for small businesses, that help them easily and cost effectively improve their digital footprint.
“We know that for all businesses today, increased customer engagement is essential to keep customers coming back, and for smaller merchants, this rings especially true,” said Lance Brown, vice president of product development for Huzzah Media. “Huzzah brings deep expertise in the small business market and we are committed to delivering a new set of services that enable them to compete with bigger brands and drive revenue.”
Loyalty, Apps & Mobile…Oh My!
As part of its new digital offering, Huzzah provides a first-class digital rewards platform that small businesses can customize, control and afford. Unlike many programs today, Huzzah Loyalty is easy to deploy and comes complete with a tablet, loyalty cards, Web and Mobile App access and best of all, personalized assistance from one of Huzzah’s digital coaches.
“Thanks to the support of Huzzah's knowledgeable team, the loyalty program is helping us engage with our community in a new way,” said Dr. Frank Hernandez, owner of CA-based Hernandez Dental. "Most importantly, it helps us compete in the big leagues - and we've seen an increased enthusiasm for our practice, as a result. Our patients are thinking about us differently and are excited to come in to get the rewards."
While more than 80 percent of small businesses have a Website, very few have a mobile app. Huzzah Apps delivers an out-of-the-box and affordable solution that helps small businesses deploy apps that allow their customers to more easily connect with them – from scheduling appointments to paying invoices, receiving coupons and learning about exclusive deals.
“I knew I needed a mobile app to bring my company to the next level, so I originally attempted to build it on my own,” said Drue Kitchens, owner of OK-based Skyline Roofing. “When I heard about Huzzah, I jumped at the chance to have the work done for me and have been really pleased with the results. It’s driving more business and is making it easier for me to connect with customers on the go.”
The Huzzah study shows an online and mobile ad campaign tops the digital wish list for small business owners. Huzzah Mobile Ads offers local geo-fenced mobile banner advertising on an impression and pay-per-call basis. The campaigns are driven by post-click activities; calls, directions, offers and appointments and utilize the latest technology in performance tracking.
