MetroSEEQ

A friend of mine sent me an article on Reuters yesterday about how in the economic downtown, 67% plan for coupon use.

It’s a long article with lots of numbers, here it is i more readible form:

ICOM Survey breakdown: www.i-com.com

Age

18-34 yr old - 71%

35-54 yr old - 68%

55+              - 63%

Geography

Midwest - 70%

West - 69%

North East - 64%

South - 62%

Annual Income

<50K - 68%

>50K - 67%

Coupon Technology

58% of consumers responding to the ICOM survey see their coupon use increasing if they could download a coupon from
the Internet and have it automatically connected to an electronically swiped frequent shopper card.

> 77% of consumers in the 18-34 age group said they are much
more likely or somewhat more likely to use coupons if given access to this
paperless technology

63% in the 34-54 age group
47% in the 55+ age group

Conclusion: Everyone likes a good deal

I just found out that crazymenu is also doing Wheel of Meal which they call Mealof Luncheon… err…. copying me.  Fortunately their wheel is not as sophisticated as metroseeq’s wheel.  This makes me think maybe I should move quickly on creating a facebook app before others steal more from me.

Looking for super duper PHP programmer to develop a creative facebook apps for Metroseeq.  Anyone interested, please send resume to beta[at]metroseeq[dot]com, subject title “Facebook”

thanks!

After nearly 3 weeks of launching metroseeq, I’ve received significant input on site usability. Therefore, I’ve decided to redesign with the objective to help users to find nearby businesses that have promotions quickly. This came as a natural evolution of the site as it was first designed to show off the pageless progressive search algorithm, but more people seems to be more interested in finding deals so thats’ what I’ll deliver and improve upon.

This decision involves an overhaul of information design, which I admit I cannot do myself… I’d appreciate anyone who has this expertise to contact me to work on this together, thanks.

We added a new features today!  A better interaction experience when you move map to find new places - the results will finish loading first before you can move the map to a new place again.  Check it out and keep those comments and suggestions coming.

More design improvements are being planned as we speak to lead you to find deal information easier.  Stay tuned and check back often

Hi everyone,

so I got several feedback without email addresses - let me address them here

Q: How do I add a deal to my business?

A: The quickest way is to search for your business from the home page by typing the exact name. When you find it, click to open the small info window. Then click “Add Deal”. Fill in the info and click SAVE. (You need to be a registered user to post deals)

Q: I can’t find my business.

A: FAQ addresses this. The short answer is Metroseeq uses Google Local Database, if your store is not configured with proper keywords, it won’t show up. Please login to Google Local and make sure you have entered all the keywords about your business.
