Visa has developed a new Real Time Messaging platform that uses transaction and location data to deliver highly personalized offers to customers' mobile devices in real-time. The platform aims to improve on traditional digital couponing by offering more relevant, flexible and seamlessly redeemable offers. It leverages Visa's network scale and data to enable merchants to trigger tailored promotions based on customers' purchase histories and proximity to store locations. An example partnership with Gap demonstrates how customers can receive customized discount codes on their phones after making qualifying purchases near Gap stores. The new platform represents Visa's latest effort to connect retailers and customers through innovative mobile marketing.
