Summary

Qwikon is a platform that helps businesses send out daily deals, coupons, and codes to their customers via text message. The idea behind Qwikon was born out of frustration with the traditional couponing method, which often resulted in lost sales due to customer forgetfulness or misplaced coupons. To address this issue, Qwikon's founder Brooks created a more streamlined way for businesses to market to their customers by leveraging the high likelihood that customers will bring their phones with them when shopping. With its simple dashboard and scheduling capabilities, Qwikon aims to empower small business owners to fill empty seats on demand through text-based offers, expanding into various industries such as restaurants, health and beauty, retail, and even sports teams.
