FAQ
The Basics (click to expand)
- What is YOOSE?
YOOSE is a mobile advertising and couponing platform that allows consumers to receive location-based offers/messages from businesses nearby. Find out more about us by navigating through our website and the rest of these FAQ.
- How does YOOSE work?
YOOSE broadcasts location-targeted banner ads within smartphone apps. These are seen by consumers who are in close proximity to the advertiser’s outlet(s). GPS technology in smartphones and cell tower triangulation both help in determining the location of the mobile user.
- What do I need to see YOOSE mobile ads?
All you need is a mobile device with internet connection, and to be using one of our partner apps.
- What kind of offers/messages can I expect to see?
These are unique and vary depending on the advertiser and location. It can be anything from a new product launch, to special discounts or free trials. We have a vast selection of offers ranging from broad categories like Eat & Drink, Leisure & Entertainment, Fitness, Beauty & Wellness and etc.
- How does YOOSE engage consumers?
The user receives an in-app banner ad, which gives a brief description and displays the distance from the outlet. Clicking on the banner will bring him/her swiftly to the coupon landing page. In the coupon, there are more details about the offer, as well as access to additional functions such as map navigation.
- Is there a YOOSE app to download?
No, we do not have our own app. Instead, we work with partner apps and publishers, which have their own extensive network of apps, to broadcast the banner ads. The idea is that YOOSE works on the apps that users already have, eliminating the need for consumers to download yet another app.
- Which apps feature YOOSE banner ads?
The YOOSE publishers’ network is growing all the time and currently stands at 11,000 apps worldwide covering a wide variety of app types including games, news, lifestyle, utilities and social networking. You name the category, we have it!
Just to name a few, we work on IRC, Soccer Livescores, Heywire, Huffington Post and etc.
- What are the validity terms for YOOSE coupons?
This depends on the coupon provider (i.e. advertiser). The coupons are usually valid for 1-2 weeks, and can even go beyond a month.
