Quick Pitch

Veebow believes that measuring customer behavior and encouraging loyalty is the fastest route for a business to increase profitability. Since 80% of a typical business's revenue comes from 20% of its customers, a business knowing their repeat customers and getting them back in the door is very important. Veebow provides business owners an online powerful tool to engage loyal and new customers via smartphones.

Over 23 million businesses are searching for a mobile loyalty and marketing solution to fulfill the need for an efficient way to market and engage with new and current customers. Unfortunately, current means of engagement have been limited to email, loyalty punch-cards, hardware intensive check-in systems, and even fishbowl business card collection campaigns.

Veebow is the solution for the mobile loyalty and marketing needs of businesses.  By using the loyalty and marketing solution through Veebow's mobile app, a business can entice customers to return to a business, and monitor that customer's engagement. Businesses will know who visited their location, how often and why. They will come to know their repeat customers and how to get them back in the door with their wallet open.

  • Increases Lifetime Value and Share of Wallet

  • Delivers Flexible Exclusive Offers
  • Develops Customer Loyalty
  • Creates a Barrier to Showrooming
  • Builds Social Media Engagement

How it Works

Veebow is a technology company providing businesses a cost effective means to promote loyalty, build customer base, and capture useful statistics about loyal and new customers. Veebow allows businesses to engage consumers directly through their smartphones, offering specific customers different deals. Consumers are excited to use Veebow because it's a simple and fun to use loyalty platform on their smartphone that lets them choose who their preferred merchants are, earn loyalty points, receive valuable incentives, and win prizes all while visiting their favorite businesses.  A business can target repeat customers, one time visitors, or absentees who simply haven't been back in a while.

Businesses can post and remove deals instantly on the Veebow platform and select which customers receive deals. Merchants can select customers by demographic profiles, including repeat customers or other Veebow users who have never been to the business. The performance of specific deals is measured and merchants can discover which incentives produce the best results for their highest value customers.

Traction and Milestones

Since Veebow was established in April 2011, we have made substantial headway with developing our platform to offer businesses mobile marketing solutions that enable them to engage in real-time with loyal and new customer's mobile devices to offer rewards and promotions.
