Snap-to-Buy Details
Snap-to-Buy SnapTags transform the way consumers shop for products they see in print advertisements. Snap-to-Buy is the first integrated solution that combines social media, print media and mobile allowing consumers to complete a purchase from a single mobile based technology platform. Consumers simply snap or scan the “Buy it Now” SnapTag to purchase an advertised product. (A smartphone is not required, just a standard camera enabled mobile phone, but smartphone users can download an app if they would rather scan the “Buy it Now” SnapTag.) Consumers simply enter their credit card information once, which is then saved in a fully-encrypted ‘mobile wallet’ that can be used to make future “Snap-to-Buy” purchases from their specific mobile device with literally a single click – no passwords, and no logins.
