Giving Assistant Acquires CheapTweet to Enhance Delivery and Access to Money-Saving Social Media Deals
San Francisco, California (PRWEB) August 28, 2015 -- Giving Assistant, a leading digital loyalty platform, today announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire CheapTweet, an early pioneer in the field of social digital loyalty. With this acquisition, Giving Assistant plans to continue its mission to revolutionize the way shoppers earn cash back and give back online.
CheapTweet, a self-described "Twitter-based social deals search engine," aggregated more than 30,000 deal-related tweets every day, allowing users to vote for and rank the best offers.
The top-two deals of the day were posted to CheapTweet's Twitter account, which to date, reaches roughly 117,000 followers. Named one of Time Magazine's leading Twitter feeds of the year in 2011, Giving Assistant plans to use the highly relevant and timely offers aggregate by CheapTweet's proprietary technology to enrich the accuracy and value of their offers.
Giving Assistant, which offers coupons and the highest cash back rates to members in a seamless, user friendly fashion, hopes to capitalize on and further expand its online presence through the acquisition of CheapTweet. Since CheapTweet gathers and condenses the most popular coupon codes, promotions and sales discussed on Twitter, Giving Assistant will be able to benefit from and reach a wider scope of consumers, as well as promote the deals that receive the highest number of recommendations.
With an algorithm that eliminates spam and multiple tweets regarding the same deals, the addition of CheapTweet's ability to collect, organize and spread relevant information from merchants and bargain hunters that use Twitter places Giving Assistant at an advantage. The company will now be able to provide consumers with faster access to online coupons, deals, free shipping offers, and store discounts.
“Giving Assistant’s mission is to make it easy for shoppers to save-up extra money for the things they love in life. We believe CheapTweet’s platform for sourcing digital offers will significantly improve the volume and quality of digital offers for our consumers,” said James Gray, CEO of Giving Assistant.
