AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shopgate, Inc., announced today that Mizuno USA has launched an updated mobile app with a new design and new features, including geofencing technology to optimize their push notification campaigns. Consumers who have downloaded the Mizuno app and opted-in to receive push notifications will receive relevant messages based on their location and proximity to a Mizuno dealer. With Shopgate, Mizuno is able to surface and share the right information with their customers at the right time to capture their attention and drive engagement, sales conversions and customer retention.
As they expand the reaches of their mobile capabilities, Mizuno is planning to launch multiple push notification campaigns focused on different sports, events, and offers. When a Mizuno customer opens a geofence-powered push notification, they will be taken directly to Google Maps, allowing them to easily locate stores that are within a specified geofence radius. Each campaign will dynamically mention the dealer’s name with a call-to-action to view the map. Campaigns will be moderated by frequency caps to avoid sending consumers too many push notifications.
“Introducing geofencing to our push notification strategy has enabled our Shopgate-based app to communicate instantly and directly with our consumers,” said Amarena Diaz, Director of Digital Marketing, Mizuno. “We’ve already found exceptional value on the Shopgate Connect platform, and can’t wait to take advantage of more app features. We’re excited to continue working with our dealers to help drive additional foot traffic to their brick and mortar locations.”
“We are proud to continue expanding the capabilities of the Mizuno app to create the modern experience that consumers are demanding,” said Marc Biel, CEO, Shopgate. “Shopgate’s mission is to connect retailers with their consumers, and in this case, Mizuno is uniquely doing that by driving consumers to their dealers.”
