AFS Launches New Shopper Radar App

Associated Food Stores has launched its new Shopper Radar mobile app that uses Bluetooth beacons to send alerts to shoppers’ smartphones.

To receive the store credit or digital coupon, shoppers tap their phone screens and the credit or digital coupon is added to their Rewards account. To retain the savings, the customer must also make a purchase before leaving the store.

The store credits can be used toward immediately or saved for use later. Digital coupons can only be used the day they are earned. Shoppers may accumulate four different credits each day and add additional digital coupons using the app. 

“We wanted a way to provide shoppers with great savings, coupons and other deals while they are in the store and making those decision,” said Heather Hall, AFS rewards marketing manager. “Shopper Radar is great because it also integrates with each participating store’s customer rewards program, making it easy for shoppers and the store to manage.”

The app is available at several AFS retailers including Macey’s, Dan’s, Dicks, Lin’s, Fresh Market, Blair’s Supermarkets, Broulim’s Fresh Foods, Peterson’s Fresh Market, Soelberg’s, Stewart’s, Bowman’s, Davis Food and Drug, Stokes Fresh Market and Prather’s Market.
