The Magicpin website introduces itself as ‘India’s number one savings app’ with a mission to make hyperlocal magical! The firm has more than 1.5 lakh merchants and 5 million-plus users across the country. The app is quite user-friendly too. Users just need to pin a location or allow the app to auto-detect it to find potential clients in their neighborhood and know about what places they visit the most – cafes, shopping malls, boutiques, studios, etc.
There are user-generated reviews including videos and pictures which give a very good idea about the respective place. People get cashbacks or rewards for visiting these places which include shopping malls to your local grocery stores. Users get ‘MagicPoints’ for spending their money in shops listed in the app and can then use these MagicPoints to buy more services from Magicpin. For sellers, retailers, and brands the app is a platform to attract potential customers, highlight their uniqueness, build good customer relations, and run real-time promotions.
