Checkers & Rally’s selected Mobivity to power its mobile customer engagement programs in over 875 of its U.S. locations. The programs will utilize Mobivity’s Reach to send timely, personalized mobile offers to Checkers & Rally’s customers via SMS text messaging.
Launched a large-scale Offer and Promotions Management Platform and new recurring revenue stream with a large global brand.
The Company began initiatives to penetrate a second vertical, grocery stores, with its Recurrency platform.
Dennis Becker, Mobivity Chairman and CEO, commented, “We achieved meaningful progress in the third quarter, including growing our recurring revenue through both existing customers and incremental customer wins. Simultaneously, we continued to invest in our technology in collaboration with large customers and name-brand partners, further validating our business model and the upside potential in our financial performance. The recurring license revenue structure of our business provides us with strong operating leverage that we continue to believe will drive improving financial results, despite the revenue impact from our efforts taking longer than we had originally anticipated.”
Mr. Becker continued, “We are making steady progress in our efforts to expand our relationship with existing customers, which will significantly improve our growth rate. Additional revenue from an already onboarded customer disproportionally drops to the bottom line, driving gross margin and operating margin expansion and bringing us closer to cash flow break-even. Over the next few quarters, we expect this progress to become evident in our financial results as the dramatic ROI we provide to customers enables us to capture a greater share of their marketing budgets.”
“Increasingly, brands are recognizing the value of one-to-one marketing, especially compared to lower-value traditional marketing channels which are seeing diminishing ROIs,” added Mr. Becker. “Mobivity has the ability to prove a tangible ROI, as we drive increased frequency and higher spend, two incredibly
valuable metrics for brands in today’s competitive environment. Increasingly, we are seeing this translate to a greater share of our customers’ marketing spend.”
