What demographic does Pocket Deals reach out to?

How do I pay to advertise on Pocket Deals?
We accept payment via PayPal or through major credit and debit cards, via our totally secure payment system. If you would rather pay via check, then please get in touch, and a member of our team will be able to provide you with more detailed information about making your payment.
I’ve completed the registration process, but I can’t find my verification email?
We’re proud to say that we take a unique approach to mobile advertising, and no one else offers a service like ours.
Mobile advertising is a far more cost-effective method of advertising, and reaches out directly to people who are genuinely likely to buy from you.
We can even provide you with statistics on your mobile advertising, to show you the exact results you are achieving. We instantly publish your advertising to the thousands of people in your area that are looking to buy right now- and who will soon walk through your door to take advantage of your latest promotion.
Our subscribers are also able to share your business directly to their social media accounts, meaning that they do some of the advertising work for you. Their friends and family are then much more likely to visit you based on this personal recommendation than through traditional advertising.
Not at all! While services like Groupon and other daily deal sites have become increasingly popular, business often report that they have had a disappointing experience with them. Instead of asking you to make a huge discount on your goods or services, and then taking a large commission on each deal, we allow you to control everything, and don’t take any commission based on sales.
We ensure that you get the traffic you need, and only show your deals to people in your area who are genuinely likely to buy from you. That way, you get the best value for money from our service, and your customers get special deals that you have created- everyone is happy!
The majority of our subscribers are aged between 25 and 55, and earn higher than the average income- meaning they are prime customers for your business.
Unfortunately, no. Since our service is location-based, all our vendors must have a physical store which they are advertising.
Chances are that the email has ended up in your “spam” or “junk” folders. If it’s not there, then please get in touch and we can resend the email to you.
