Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, and methods for providing local promotions are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include an apparatus including circuitry configured to receive promotion purchase data from a consumer device indicating purchase of a promotion. The circuitry may be further configured to determine a location of the consumer device and a merchant location of a merchant capable of fulfilling redemption of the promotion. The circuitry may then facilitate the redemption of the promotion with the merchant at the merchant location. For example, the circuitry may communicate with a suitable merchant device of the merchant to facilitate redemption fulfillment options such as in-store pickup and/or shipping.
