Redpepper Facedeals (Check in with your face)

Check-ins get a facelift

Facebook check-ins are a powerful mechanism for businesses to deliver discounts to loyal customers, yet few businesses—and fewer customers—have realized it. A search for businesses with active deals in our area turned up a measly six offers. The odds we’ll ever be at one of those six spots are low (a strip club and photography studio among them), and the incentives for a check-in are not nearly enticing enough for us to take the time. So we set out to evolve the check-in and sweeten the deal, making both irresistible.

How does it work?

Facial recognition cameras are installed at local businesses. These cameras recognize your face when you pass by, then check you in at the location. Simultaneously, your smartphone notifies you of a customized deal based on your Like history.

Well I don't think I'll be logging into Facebook and granting Facedeals my permission any time soon.

In fact, I'll be making a point of not patronising any bars, shops etc where I see those little blue cameras...

thats weird. i mean it was going to happen eventually. thats what movies in the future prepared us for. cameras everywhere.
but yay i got a 20% off coupon for the strip club
