Dizgo!
Jeff Kohn presented Dizgo last night at the new tech meetup in Boulder. I saw at least 10 Bard Center Alumni or friends in the audience. I’m sure there were more.
While some of the other presenters had technical difficulties, Jeff nailed his presentation. It was great to see.
So what is this Dizgo thing you might wonder? Dizgo provides mobile (direct to cell phone or other device) discounts on the go. During his presentation Jeff gave an example of creating a coupon for that night for a free beer and edamame at Hapa Sushi. Awesome. I hope that some folks took avadantage of that great promotion. For now, Dizgo is operational in Boulder, CO but they should be expanding across Colorado soon.
Here’s a recent release that Jeff sent out.
We are pleased to announce the public release of Dizgo in our first market, Downtown Boulder, Colorado.
Dizgo (discounts on-the-go) is the world’s first completely self-service mobile advertising platform that allows brick and mortar retailers to generate real-time demand for their products and instantly get paying customers in the door.
For consumers, Dizgo provides a free and convenient way to find nearby deals using your mobile phone. We are currently featuring food & beverage discounts only, but plan to begin offering deals on retail products and services soon.
Go ahead, try it now! Our patented system provides two easy ways to get instant discounts on your phone:
Deal Search: Send a simple text message to 34946 (DIZGO) with the type of food or drink you want a deal on (examples: sushi, pizza, thai, ice cream, lunch, beer, happy hour, or a business name like Hapa or Bacaro). Dizgo will quickly send you back a text message with the closest related deals currently being offered from nearby establishments.
Deal Alerts: You can be the first to know about exclusive deals going on at your favorite establishments by subscribing to receive notifications on your mobile phone.
