GET10 LAUNCHES LOYALTY-DRIVEN DIGITAL ADVERTISING AND MARKETING PLATFORM FOR SMALL TO MID-SIZED BUSINESSES
DENVER - (November 15, 2011) Colorado-based firm to partner with global merchant services company and app-provider to reach merchants and consumers where the work and play
Get10.com, the web-based marketing and advertising platform that helps small to mid-sized businesses create and manage social, mobile, online and traditional campaigns, launches today, according to Robert Matuszewski, founder and CEO.
Matuszewski became well-versed in the challenges and opportunities inherent in running a small enterprise as president and COO for Jimmy John's during its early years, and, later, as an investor and partner in the Denver-based FeelGood Catalog, then as owner of East West Access, a sourcing company for global innovations manufacturing. Without the kind of capital that big businesses count on, he was always concerned about their ability to fulfill their potential.
"Get10 levels the playing field for small to mid-sized businesses," said Matuszewski. "It offers an easy to use self-publishing tool to create, distribute and track campaigns as well or better than big businesses but without the Madison Avenue agency overhead."
Get10's campaign technology was built to launch in phases - today, it allows merchants to self-publish ads, promotions, perks and savings to thousands of members in the Get10 network and throughout hundreds of social networks - in the near future, it will allow businesses to create, publish, manage and track online, social, mobile and traditional advertising and marketing campaigns.
To grow its merchant clientele, Get10 has partnered with Omaha, Nebraska based TSYS® Merchant Solutions, an international merchant services company that provides electronic payment systems and added-value services to help businesses grow.
"We're excited about the Get10 TSYS partnership because both companies are focused on helping merchants build relationships with customers," said Matuszewski. "TSYS is making the Get10 platform available to a network of nearly 2,000 merchants in Colorado immediately and ramping up for roll-out to additional markets nationwide in Q1 and Q2, 2012."
"TSYS looks for partners that provide added value and create opportunities for its customers," said Craig Ludwig, TSYS Director of Product Management "Get10's platform is offering a web-based advertising and marketing campaign management system that does not currently exist in the marketplace. We believe our merchants are going to respond very favorably to it."
Get10 is establishing and growing its business through additional strategic partnerships, including mobile and satellite applications providers. "Every partnership is designed to help us reach merchants and customers where they work and play," said Matuszewski. "The use of smart, effective mobile applications is exploding. The Get10 mobile app will provide the must-haves of allowing consumers to redeem perks and offers and check in with merchants, along with a few other surprises - for merchants, our mobile app will offer a flexible, fun forum for relationship building and engendering loyalty." Amadeus Consulting, the Boulder-based software development company, is creating the Get10 apps.
"Get10 has a unique approach to cultivating customer relationships, " said Lisa Calkins, founder and CEO of Amadeus Consulting. "We're developing a mobile app that helps merchants connect with consumers to build long-term relationships."
