MyChinoki.com Launches new Targeted Delivery Service for Deals

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MyChinoki.com, an online discount, deal and coupon provider that delivers its service through SMS text messages, announced its official launch today.

My "Chinoki," which is Japanese for my "cherry picker," enrolls businesses in its service through offering an easy and immediate method to communicate with customers interested in receiving deals. For customers, MyChinoki offers a seamlessly practical way to receive special deals from businesses of their choice.

Customers sign up for the online service, by visiting mychinoki.com, where they enter their age, gender, mobile service provider, mobile phone number, and their zip code. The next step lists businesses, by category, enrolled in MyChinoki and allows customers to "cherry pick" those businesses that they are interested in receiving deals from. When a business is ready to send a deal, the customers that have "cherry picked" the given business receive an SMS text message with that deal. The service ensures that customers are only receiving deals suited to their interests and that businesses are targeting customers that have specifically indicated an interest in the given business.

"With the current state of the economy and the recent craze for deals, we think MyChinoki is a no brainer," Founder and CEO of the mobile media company, Matt Balin said. "It is easy to sign up for and costs nothing for consumers. It stands out from all of the other daily deal sites, because the deals are delivered through SMS text messages and only to people who have specifically indicated that they are interested in receiving deals from specific businesses. Who wouldn't want to receive a text message with a deal for a business that he or she already frequents?"

MyChinoki currently has enrolled over 35 businesses in the Greater Philadelphia Region and over 24,000 people are currently "cherry picking" businesses. Businesses that are already enrolled include, restaurants, bars, clothing retailers, furniture stores, amusement parks and more.

"We are looking to focus on the Greater Philadelphia Region, getting as many businesses enrolled as we can," Balin said. "Once we feel that we are ready, we will begin enrolling businesses in multiple cities. We soon will be able to offer deals and discounts for businesses around the country."
