"I love good deals. I just don’t have the patience to find them. Like me, the founders of Premu were dissatisfied with existing online sites designed for the bargain hunter. Too many of the wrong deals to sift through, too much fine print to scrutinize. Premu works with a Facebook account, allowing users to find a wide variety of online coupons. Share deals with family or friends and you’ll also have the chance to win contests and sweepstakes."</blockquote>

The fastest growing forms of online advertising are mobile marketing and social media. Display, Search, Video and Email still drive reach and performance, but it's important that advertisers don't overlook the importance of staying ahead of the curve and learning ways to adopt to new forms of advertising, new agencies, software's, reports and analytics that can help them build their brand. <br />
<br />
This leads us to social promotions which get people talking about your brand, keep your brand top of mind, and engage your social audience. Creating a dialogue from brand to consumers is one of the toughest things to accomplish so it's important to build promotions, products, and devices to earn and keep their loyalty, reward them and prove to them they are in good hands with your brand. Influence should not be taken lightly in Social Media, as virality can be created by just one tweet or Facebook post by a powerful individual with a high Klout score and large network. Word spreads about coupons, promotions, offers faster than ever before. Now is the opportunity to take advantage of the viral web, integrate this form of advertising into your plan to compliment other forms of advertising such as search, display, and even offline advertising. <br />
<br />
Running a social promotion is the start, but running the right social promotion is the important part. Does it fit in with your brand and your audience? It's important to know your audience and engage them in a two-way dialogue, make them feel like you would an employee of your company and do everything you can to keep your customers happy. So after building a promotion that's right for your audience, find the right outlets to market your promotion online and offline to reach that audience that fits perfectly with your brand. Then track, optimize, and measure the campaign and promotion to build your brand, drive sales, grow your network, and win the race.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comLos Angeles, CA, USA34.0522342 -118.243684933.735427200000004 -118.50012840000001 34.3690412 -117.9872414tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589983107400784989.post-43522014287197949742012-03-20T20:03:00.000-07:002012-03-20T20:03:22.421-07:00Social CouponingIf you're like us, when you find a great deal, like the one from Amazon Local today $5 for $10 spent at Amazon, you love sharing that deal with friends.

There are certainly some great websites and apps that can help you find great deals each day to make your shopping experience great. Premu is working to make that process easier by aggregating thousands of deals from the best brands into your personalized account. If you're a fan of Walmart, Target, Kohl's, and other great department stores, you can customize your deals to include only deals from the stores that you shop at. Furthermore, if you are interested only in baby products, then you can easily sort and view all the deals on baby products within these large department stores... The days of hunting through thousands of deals that aren't relevant to you are coming to end. <br />
<br />
Last year was a big boom in not only national deals from the big department stores, but also daily deal sites have grown tremendously with the likes of Groupon, Living Social, Plum District, and even Google getting into the space with Google Offers. So hunting for a great deal just got a little more cluttered as now you can find deals from local stores and shops competing with the major department stores. Thus, making it all the more important to have a place to find the right deal you want at the right time from large and small stores alike.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589983107400784989.post-55170138446309475612012-03-06T11:40:00.000-08:002012-03-06T11:40:40.686-08:00Future of Couponing Shifts to MobileIn the past, we used to grab the sunday paper and hit the coupon page to cut out the latest coupons for the week. We strived to find the best food and grocery coupons and were open to receiving coupons in the mail from companies like Valpak, Redplum, and others. As times are changing, these tried and true methods of getting great coupons are still around and used by millions to find deals and discounts on their local stores, services, & restaurants. Local Daily deal sites surely gave people a new way to get great deals as the discounts that daily deal sites like Groupon, Living Social, Plum District, and others were new coupons and discounts that have never been seen before. By participating in a membership for these sites, you're emailed with these great local deals every day as stores in the thousands strive to get more customers and Daily Deal sites provided them with the distribution on their price cuts, sales, and offers. <br />
<br />
With smart phones and apps, the future of coupons is surely shifting to mobile. Heading to the local Target, Walmart, or Sears and browsing through the store, you should have access to the latest coupon that you have on the web right there and then when your shopping in the store. While some sites provide these services, we're not quite there yet. In a few years, you may even be able to take a picture of a product from your phone and do a search to find if there any coupons on that product that you can apply at the store. Coupons have been around for hundreds of years and the introduction of smart phones, tablets, it will change the coupon industry forever in favor of the consumer. With the recession of 2008, people continue to look for savings and the trend hasn't ended in 2012. So stay with us as the industry evolves and mobile coupons continue to grow.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589983107400784989.post-71934632308416681792012-03-02T10:13:00.000-08:002012-03-02T10:13:11.509-08:00100+ New Stores Added to PremuOur team has been working hard to rollout an amazing product in Premu and help our loyal users find amazing deals and save money.

How do we build a website that's fun? Something fun isn't all too easy to achieve today with so many options on the web and also an overload of information. Keeping it basic and fun is something that we felt is key to the success of Premu. So if you're reading this and testing Premu during our Alpha launch, we want to hear from you! Is Premu Fun? Do you enjoy using Premu and want to come back because it's a fun utility that makes parts of social media more enjoyable? Well, if not, tell us why as each day we're striving to create a place that's fun, fun to interact, fun to share, fun to play, fun to discover, and fun to engage. <br />
<br />
Fun is over looked all too much because websites can't just be fun and games, they need to drive revenue. A business isn't all about fun and games, it's about the bottom line, but there have been a handful of internet start-ups that have accomplished both and those are the ones that we are the most proud of. It's the sites that have actually cared so much about the user enjoying their experience that it meant making a compromise on their bottom line. We hope you enjoy Premu and use it a fun way to use social networking.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589983107400784989.post-46098321650421290492011-11-25T10:41:00.001-08:002011-11-25T10:44:05.519-08:00Why Social Media?Cool post on Why Social Media works at Business Insider:<br />

Our system allows brands to engage with their users and get more involved in Social Media. Brands are becoming more like people and people are becoming more likes and Premu is the platform to connect the two. Finally, people can act as Brands and Brands can act as people as they engage with users in the Social Media Ecosystem. Facebook pages were a start for Brands, but many brands still can't get their hands wrapped around the social media advertising and how to best use the medium. <br />
<br />
Premu sets out to create an ecosystem that supports both users and brands and keeps it fun all at the same time. In addition to providing brands with a new vehicle to help with their Social Media advertising. One of the most difficult pieces of setting up and maintaining a brands social media presences is eliminating that sense of brand to user communication. People like hearing from people, not from a corporation. They want to get in the corporation and talk to someone real, not just a PR person who only cares about getting out a message for PR or helping to sell a product. People should get the real deal and be an extension of companies as the ambassadors for companies are in fact an extension of the marketing department for brands. Brands need to embrace that theory and commit to becoming real when they communicate with users in Social Media. In doing so, it will create a great place for people to interact with Brands and vice versa. <br />
<br />
If you're a brand and your looking to partner or improve your social media marketing, feel free to contact info@premu.com Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589983107400784989.post-90742325202473591172011-11-15T10:20:00.000-08:002011-11-15T10:20:46.659-08:00Executing Upon a VisionWriting this blog post today to talk about some of the major hurdles entrepreneurs come across when trying to execute upon their vision. When building an internet business, you need be ready for change and also be nimble as what you thought would be great last month may be different from what's actually great this month. To add to an ever-changing internet landscape, you will also have a myriad of new competitors who come into the space with their own value proposition. It's very easy to say, these guys are doing this great, let's not do it, or do we even have the money or time to make this feature better? It's also very easy to turn your head and go back down the other direction. <br />
<br />
Well what you should be doing is keep on pushing forward through the hurdles and execute against your vision while keeping your vision ever-changing. Understand that you vision will need to be adjusted many times before you get it right and stay the course until you figure out what that is... We've been hearing the quote "fail fast" or "fail harder" a lot recently as we approach on creating a strong brand and great product. By failing faster is the only way we can truly work out the kinks and get to a point we are fully executing upon our vision. <br />
<br />
Therefore, as we push forward, we know there will be strong competition but as long as we do what we set out to do which is create a great product that you love to user every day, then we have succeeded in executing against our vision. Burt sent a great quote this morning and wanted to add it here as it felt right. <span>“</span>It can’t be forced. People have to genuinely love the product. If they love it, they’ll tell their friends. It has to be authentic.<span>”</span><br />
