Location-Based Shopping App Shopkick Now 3 Million Users Strong; 1B Deals Viewed
Shopkick, an innovative geo-coupon system that is backed by Kleiner Perkins, Greylock, SV Angel and others, is debuting a number of momentum numbers today. The startup's service now has 3 million active users, up from 2.3 million active users in September.Here's how Shopkicks works. Instead of checking in, as you would with a geo app like Foursquare, Shopkick automatically recognizes when someone with the free Android or iPhone app on their phone walks into a store. Once a Shopkick Signal is detected, the app delivers reward points called kickbucks to the user for walking into a retail store, trying on clothes, scanning a barcode and other actions.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/iSGBczEFQxI/
