Miami Mobile Shoppers Top Coupon Users

Findings from a recent Cellfire study about mobile coupon redemption during the six month period ending June 30 say that Miami-Fort Lauderdale tops the list of markets with the highest per capita usage of mobile coupons, with Northern California and Texas taking the majority of the remaining top spots.

68 percent of coupons redeemed were from mobile shoppers between the ages of 18-34, followed by shoppers aged 35-44 with 18 percent. Food and entertainment topped the list of categories for which coupons were most frequently redeemed.

Brent Dusing, CEO of Cellfire, said "Young adults find great value in saving on the activities that fuel their lifestyles by redeeming offers using their mobile phone."
