Why you'd never miss another exclusive offer from your favorite local store

Meet Sprooki, a homegrown startup offering location-based promo alerts from malls and retailers.

Founders of Sprooki, which bills itself as Asia's first proximity marketing and mobile commerce service for the retail sector.said that the online platform is in the intersection of location-based-service and mobile payments - two high growth sectors.

Sprooki started operation on February 2011 and was founded by Michael Gethen & Claire Mula.
Sprooki shoppers receive access to: Exclusive offers and alerts from nearby stores and malls; Promotion alerts from your favourite stores; Pay conveniently through your phone; Instantly redeem in-store or in your own time; and Sprooki is paperless which means No wasteful leaflets or paper coupons.

“When 30% of consumers have walked out of a physical store based on something they found via their mobile, traditional retailers and mall operators are searching for an evolution in their approach to marketing and point-of-sale,” Gethen said in an email to Singapore Business Review while noting that Sprooki has proof of concept and value derived from real consumers and retail clients.

According to Gethen, Sprooki has existing client contracts with international and national mall operators and national retail brands.

Sprooki's own branded application, he said, has a loyal user base of consumer who are happy to transact via mobile devices and pick up their products in store.

Sprooki has had $400,000 of capital injected from Australia, US and Singapore private equity.
Gethen explained that Sprooki's unique value is that it takes the pain out of mobile for traditional malls and retailers.

“Sprooki's Software as a Service licensed technology platform provides malls, national retailers and brands with mobile applications, web-based management tools and supporting services that helps them to reach out to mobile shoppers on a daily basis under their own trusted brand,” he said.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
