The Monster Offers and Deal Buzzer apps aim to provide a more relevant, hyper-local, and real-time experience for the daily deals consumer or business seeking to gain customers and incremental business through the rapidly expanding daily deal market. The Monster Offers app provides thousands of deals, (at time of this release, more than 50,000 deals) from hundreds of deal providers in local or regional markets and covering up to 14 categories and 60 subcategories, all easily accessible with the press of a button, and tailored specifically for individual users through GPS-enhanced search options and customized deal flow preference settings. You can also find these daily deals on the Monster Offers website at: http://monsteroffers.com/dailydeals.php

The Deal Buzzer app, which was acquired earlier this year from app developer Iconosys, Inc. as part of a debt repayment transaction and is already available on Android phones and tablets (e.g., Samsung, HTC, Nexus), empowers everyone from small businesses to employees with its unique deal-sharing tools that give users the ability to promote their special deals (or items for sale) on a daily (or even up-to-the-minute) basis to their networks of Facebook friends and Twitter followers, helping their special deal or offer to cascade through and across other social networking contacts and platforms.

This Monster Offers announcement follows the recent decision by Barnes & Noble to add Google functionality to the Nook, including the Android app store, Gmail, and Google Maps. Also, Monster Offers sees its newly established distribution channels as an ideal way to leverage off of the growing popularity of the tablet market, which has grabbed the attention of application developers as worldwide tablet shipments continue to surge, growing at an astounding rate of 142.4% year over year during the first quarter of 2013 (1Q13), according to preliminary data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Tablet Tracker (http://www.idc.com/tracker/showproductinfo.jsp?prod_id=81). In addition, rumors that Microsoft may be planning to buy all of Nook Media’s assets for $1 billion (Microsoft already owns 17% of Nook Media) have undoubtedly added fuel to the fire that seems to be driving speculation and interest around the NOOK tablets as of late, and more generally, regarding the attractive growth prospects for the tablet market. http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/08/microsoft-mulling-nook-media-llc-purchase-for-1-billion/

Commented Monster Offers CEO Wayne Irving II, “Here at Monster Offers, we couldn’t be more excited about the opening up of this new distribution channel; with this announcement, I’ve never been more happy to say that we’ve now found our special ‘Nook’ in the marketplace.”
