BRYANT, AR – Hunger Magnet officially cuts the ribbon at the Bryant Chamber of Commerce recently.
Shaun McFarland and his wife Tanya have developed on an online concept called Hunger Magnet that saves consumers the time and trouble of clipping coupons. ”Part of our early successes have been from bringing on the right people. Like our Vice President of Operations, Bradley Lattin, and several key sales people like Josh Bond, Randy Walker and Dustin Free.” says Shaun McFarland.
“For consumers, you create a free membership, look for special offers, find the one you want, enter your cell phone number and Go Text Yourself the offer,” McFarland, Hunger Magnet CEO, said. “It’s important for consumers to know that once the coupon is texted, the cell phone number is not stored in our database and that’s very important for privacy.”
The online business, www.hungermagnet.com, offers consumer members the opportunity to search for nearby businesses with special offers. McFarland and his staff recruit businesses to purchase an annual coupon on Hunger Magnet where they can create a special offer that the consumer will text to their phone. The business has access to changing the special offer anytime and as often as they want.
“Hunger Magnet was developed through a culmination of a number things we have developed over the years” McFarland said. “As president of full service ad agency, YourAdTeam, I wanted to develop an advertising outlet for businesses that was a great fit for both consumers and businesses. We found there was a need for this and it just made sense for us to pursue it now.”
“The main advantage to this service is no coupon clipping for consumers,” Walker said. “In the world we live in, we think about saving money, but we don’t take time to clip coupons. And even if we do clip them, sometimes we have no idea where we put them. We eliminate clipped coupons by giving consumers text message coupons. This is a great opportunity for any business to increase awareness of their brand while giving the consumer a reason to visit for the first time or come back for repeated visits. Hunger Magnet is good for both the business and the consumer.”
Hunger Magnet puts the choice back in the hands of the consumer. You choose which coupon to use and Go Text Yourself. For the advertisers, the business advantages include both branding and generating new customers at an extremely affordable rate. Businesses pay a low annual rate to be on the website. They can change their offer anytime they want and as often as they want.
“From a business standpoint, we offer a product at a price that’s competitive with any type of media,” Lattin added. “Each business member’s coupon offer is linked to google maps so each business can be easily found. There is also a link to the business website to see what other services are offered. People love choices. Hunger Magnet uses advanced technology in a very simple way.”
