Press Release

Winston-Salem, N.C., June 22, 2010 - Inmar, the nation's leading provider of digital coupon clearing and other promotion transaction settlement, today unveiled a new mobile couponing partner on the ONiX digital incentive network.  As part of the network, leading mobile promotion response and loyalty firm, ShopText, can enable brands to present Text2Clip coupons to consumers in any ad and securely connect offers to a loyalty card.

"ShopText brings a very innovative application to the digital promotions discovery process by allowing consumers to electronically 'clip' coupons from virtually any media," said Bob Carter, President of Inmar's Promotion Services division.  "Now that Text2Clip coupons are on Inmar's ONiX network and powered to work with point-of-sale systems, TV, circulars, in-store ads and receipts can be just as interactive and measurable as web-based coupons, without the hassle of printing."

The combination of Inmar's ONiX network and ShopText's Text2Clip technology make scalable mobile couponing a reality for brands and retailers without expensive point-of-sale hardware upgrades.

"With 98% of all mobile phones in the US being text-enabled, and over half the US population sending at least one text per month, Text2Clip coupons are a cinch for consumers.  We have tackled the big obstacle, which was making it work at checkout," said Steve Roberts, CEO of ShopText.  "ShopText and Inmar's ONiX network takes care of that, providing scaled mobile coupon request, distribution and digital redemption by taking advantage of existing infrastructure in a way that satisfies consumers, brands and retailers."
