FetchRev by Hownd

No! FetchRev is specifically designed for busy small business owners who don’t have spare time. Getting started takes only a few minutes, and after that, we handle everything for you. You might spend a few minutes reviewing a campaign or sharing an idea now and then, but many owners let us run with it entirely. One client collected over 1,000 customer contacts and $13K in revenue in 3 months “with minimal effort on our end”. That’s the norm. So go ahead and reclaim your time – we’ve got your marketing covered.

Absolutely. If you can use a phone or check email, you can succeed with FetchRev. There’s no complicated software to learn – our platform is straightforward, and our team does the heavy lifting behind the scenes. You’ll have a dedicated support rep who will walk you through any questions and essentially act as your “marketing person.” Many of our most successful clients had zero marketing experience before FetchRev; we built this to make expert marketing accessible to anyone. No jargon, no coding, no confusion.

We’re very different from Groupon, and we agree – those deal sites can be a nightmare. Groupon and its clones require you to offer massive discounts (often 50-70% off) and then take a big cut of the little revenue you earn, leaving you with almost no profit. Plus, they often send bargain-hunters who never return. FetchRev, on the other hand, is about sustainable, repeatable revenue. You set a promotion that makes sense for your margins – we typically encourage modest discounts or value-add offers that attract customers without devaluing your services. The money from customers goes directly to you. Also, because we target both your past customers and local residents likely to be interested, the people we bring in are high-quality customers who often become regulars(as Dallas Karting Complex noted, they were “noticeably better” than daily-deal customers). In short: no race-to-the-bottom, no losses – just profitable new business.

You could certainly try – but you’d likely spend far more time and get far lesser results. Running effective promotions isn’t just about sending an email or a post; you need the right offer, landing pages, timing, targeting, and follow-up. It can turn into a full-time job (ask anyone who’s tried to juggle Mailchimp, Facebook ads, Google Analytics, etc. on their own). FetchRev gives you a complete system without the headache. Our platform creates and distributes unique landing pages for each offer that convert “lookers” to “buyers” to “visitors” with just a few clicks– something that would be very technical to set up manually. We also automatically push your promos across multiple channels (email, web, SMS, social, and local consumer networks) simultaneously, which is hard to coordinate on your own. And behind it all, you have our marketing team optimizing every campaign using data from thousands of promotions. In short, we amplify and automate the things you could do manually, but we do them faster, better, and at scale. Most clients actually find FetchRev makes their other marketing (social media, etc.) more effective, because we integrate with those efforts and drive people to actionable offers rather than just “likes” or impressions. So yes, you could DIY – but why would you, when you can get better outcomes with virtually no effort?

That’s okay! FetchRev can help you build a customer list from scratch while bringing in new business. We have tools like WiFi Connect and Coupon Kiosks that collect visitor contact info in your store and convert them into subscribers. For example, we can set up a “Free WiFi – enter your email to connect” at your location, which effortlessly adds guests to your database. We also capture new customer info every time someone claims one of your offers. So even if you’re starting with zero contacts, before long you’ll have a valuable list that we continue to market to on your behalf. Many FetchRev clients go from no list to thousands of contacts within months. And remember, FetchRev’s reach isn’t limited to your list – we’ll promote to the wider Hownd consumer network to get new faces in the door regardless.

Not long at all. We pride ourselves on speed. Once your first campaign goes live, you can often see purchases and offer claims within hours, and foot traffic within a day or two. On average, our merchants start seeing measurable revenue in the first week. In many cases, we’ve had businesses generate hundreds or thousands of dollars in the first 7–14 days of using FetchRev. It’s not unusual to start getting notifications like “You earned $50” or “John S. just claimed your offer” the same day a campaign launches – those are real people on their way to becoming your customers. We know you need results now, so that’s what we deliver.

FetchRev is very affordable, especially compared to the revenue it generates (remember that 14× ROI average). We have flexible flat monthly fee options with unlimited campaigns (great for higher-volume marketing) – but even those often pay for themselves within days. We’ll work with you to choose the model that makes the most sense. Our philosophy is simple: FetchRev should never be an expense, it should be a revenue multiplier. And we’re happy to prove it with a free trial campaign or demo. There’s no long-term contract, either – we earn your business each month by delivering results.

We’re here to help, not hard-sell. If you’re intrigued but have doubts, the best step is to schedule a free demo and consultation. We’ll learn about your business, answer any questions, and even show you example campaigns from similar businesses to paint a clear picture. If we truly don’t think FetchRev is a fit for you, we’ll tell you that too. But in our experience, if you operate a business that fits the profile we discussed above and you want more customers, FetchRev can likely deliver value. Let’s chat and find out – there’s no obligation.
