PORTLAND, Ore.-- Njection.com LLC announces that Njection Mobile (NMobile), its worldwide speed trap notification system for Apple iPhone 3G and iPod Touch, has released version 1.1.3 for free before the 4th of July weekend.
In addition, Njection has released a GPS Enhanced Ad Engine that specifically uses NMobile's unique localization features for displaying area store discounts and coupons for its users to take advantage of. This will assist more traditional "Brick and Mortar" stores to compete for customers in addition to allowing for a lower entry cost than traditional advertising means.
Companies have the ability to upload the location of stores that they would like to participate and have them geocoded using Microsoft Bing Virtual Earth Mapping Service. After this, companies that have products they would like to create coupons for can create and attach their coupon to participating stores. Once the coupons are attached to those stores, users can use their Apple iPhone or iPod Touch to produce bar codes that can be scanned to take advantage of offers from those companies and products. Companies with store locations that would like to sign up and participate can do so for free. Companies and businesses with coupon offerings can be attached to any participating store and store locations for a fee. The Njection Mobile iPhone update that will include the ad engine will be available July 20th, 2009.
Coupons added to Njection Mobile's Ad Engine have two hard requirements:
1) The store most have a "Brick and Mortar" location for geocoding so that users can look for and obtain products and services.
2) There must be a discount included in the offering. This will make it more enticing for users to take advantage of the store's offerings and drive customers to the store.
Designed specifically to take advantage of the 3G's unique abilities and interface, NMobile was built from the ground up for drivers so they can be notified of locations of speed traps, red light cameras, and speed detection devices. With the addition of the ad engine, Njection Mobile will build itself as a one-stop app for saving money in more ways than one.
