Starting May 22nd, 2011, Best Buy customers using the "Shopkick" mobile app on their Androids or iPhones will be rewarded with "kicks" currency when they walk into any of the almost 1,300 Best Buy stores.
Shopkick is a rewards program and place-based marketing service that automatically rewards users for entering stores such as Target, Best Buy, Macy's, American Eagle, Sports Authority, Crate&Barrel, West Elm and Wet Seal, in 80 major markets, or for eating at restaurants, for example.
Retail partners get a promotion vehicle, as offers and promotions are supplied to each user depending on where they are. Users get extra "kicks" by scanning barcodes of featured products, for example.
The Shopkick app works in combination with a supplementary signal shopkick broadcasts within the store, that is more accurate than either cell phone radio signals or even GPS. The inaudible sound verifys that a user is in the store, and rewards him or her with Shopkicks currency.
