New technology online raises the bar in voucher redemption

July 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Online marketing and voucher company ‘Voucher Choice’ has launched a brand new website incorporating new technology, which does away with the printed or downloaded voucher. Vouchers that are bought for restaurants at www.voucherchoice.com are delivered in the SMS format to the purchasers mobile, and with printed and downloaded vouchers being so open to replication and SMS set to trillion by 2013, it is the obvious next step forward for online vouchers.


When it comes to redeeming the voucher, the process takes seconds; the customer presents the text on arrival and is given a short code by the restaurant to send back to Voucher Choice. A second SMS is sent back and the voucher is redeemed on the system and marked as valid.  
Many other companies work with vouchers that can be downloaded to a mobile smart phone, but the Voucher Choice system is compatible with any mobile. As the SMS is received the system assigns the customer mobile number as the voucher code, so it immediately stops reuse, forwarding on or copying.  This way a restaurant can keep track of allocations of vouchers. Marketing statistics are available and information on all redemption data is online through a secure extranet and login. As with other voucher companies Voucher Choice offers a negotiated cash back scheme, but unlike others will pay on all sold vouchers and not just the redeemed ones.
This is the only company running secure vouchers on an SMS system. From July London, Surrey and Oxford restaurants will be online, with more of the UK being added in the next few months.  Join the Voucher Choice revolution at www.voucherchoice.com

Voucher Choice offers discount vouchers across the UK for some of the top restaurants and gastro pubs. We only deal with well known names and quality local restaurants and hotels. The customer pays a price and we send the voucher direct to their mobile. This system is revolutionary and the first in the UK. It is more secure than any other voucher system. Promotions give the restaurant or restaurants online profiles per branch, the opportunity to increase their footfall, generate revenue cash back from the sales and download endless reports for marketing purposes, compare branch performance and redeem customer vouchers online. The customer is happy because they can check out a top restaurants in their area for less than anyone else, and don't have to worry about printed bits of paper. All vouchers are released at 8am each day Monday to Friday, so customers have to be quick, as the number of vouchers are always limited...and once they're gone, they are gone!
