SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., May 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - The U.S. leader in merchant mobile loyalty marketing has completed its North American expansion by moving into Canada. Developed by SMS Masterminds, a division of the publicly traded SpendSmart Payments Company, Inc. (OTCQB: SSPC), this unique system's mobile loyalty technology enhances business-consumer relationships by enabling businesses to consistently reach and reward their customers--driving sales via text-message (SMS) coupons and promotions.
Since its acquisition by SSPC, Inc. in February 2014, SMS Masterminds (SMSMM) has seen an explosion of interest, adding 31 new markets to its network in the last 90 days. With ongoing success in the U.S., SMSMM aims to catalyze mobile marketing innovation in a country that is positioned to devour mobile sales and CRM technology.
"Our existing successes in the U.S. and our growing list of customers all validate the need for a strong global presence," said Alex Minicucci, president and CEO of SpendSmart.

We expect great things from Canada and their community of marketers."
