ATLANTA, Sept. 16, 2014 – Sionic Mobile, a mobile commerce leader providing mobile promotions, gift cards, donations, payments and rewards, today launched “ION Phenomena,” a two-minute video highlighting the evolution of mobile payments. Sionic Mobile’s ION Rewards® mobile loyalty and payments application enables consumers to pay for purchases with their smartphones at more than 30,000 retailers nationwide. In return, users are instantly rewarded with IONs that spend like cash, never expire and can be used at any participating ION retail location.
“Recent announcements have driven even more consumer interest in mobile payments,” said Ronald Herman, CEO and founder of Sionic Mobile. “As more players enter this space, it can become overwhelming to consumers. We created the ION Phenomena video as a way to help consumers better understand how mobile payments, specifically mobile loyalty programs, can be much more than simply a convenient payment method. In addition to paying with their phones, consumers now have the ability to earn instant rewards and incentives immediately following each purchase, as well as receive tailored offers and promotions. The video provides an overview of the evolution of mobile loyalty apps and insight for consumers to successfully leverage the ION Rewards app as a simple and fast payments and rewards tool.”
ION Rewards users receive up to three percent in IONs at every checkout when paying with the app at more than 30,000 national retail locations ranging from Lowe’s and GameStop to Papa John’s and Spa Week. Earned IONs may then be spent like cash on anything at any time at any ION merchant location.
“Buy With Google” became available on iOS in June, giving millions of iOS users access to the Google Wallet Instant Buy payment option. Consumers can now use the ION Rewards app to securely pay for purchases with their smartphones, in just two taps. Users are then instantly rewarded with IONs.
Most recently, Sionic Mobile launched Shop2Give, an innovative e-donations platform that disrupts the traditional fundraising model by offering non-profits two seamless ways to receive mobile donations: first, supporters use the ION Rewards app to donate any amount at any time with just two taps; and second, Sionic Mobile donates two percent of mobile checkouts at NO COST to supporters or the non-profits.
