PayShrink momentum is starting to build with an article published in today's Fresno Bee, where an article about shoppers looking for ways to save money includes our free service.
The article, which appeared last night electronically and also in today's print edition, discusses a number of different companies that offer mobile coupons.
PayShrink was the first to be mentioned in the article, and it's the only freely available service that delivers coupons straight to your phone without later blasting you with junk texts.
Read the article here. And once you're done with that, be sure to register and start saving today at our great establishments!
Thanks to the Bee for their time and effort.

PayShrink is still in BETA, but that hasn't stopped the media from picking up on a story about a downtown Fresno business that's changing the way shoppers get discounts.
The PayShrink service, which gives shoppers access to merchants who offer discounts via the Web for print and SMS, is being touted as a cool new way to get discounts on demand.
And what are they most interested in? The fact that PayShrink gives Fresno shoppers a free way to become prosumers -- a buzzword that basically means the consumer gets to decide when, where and how they use a service.
Adrian Rodriguez, founding partner in PayShrink LLC, recently sat down with Tom Jones, host of the Business Roundtable on KFSR-Fresno 90.7FM, to talk about PayShrink's tools that put consumers in the driver's seat.
During the hourlong interview, Jones latched onto the prosumer concept, noting that the younger generation tends to feel more at ease with cooperation and collaboration than the older generation.
FresnoFamous.com followed up on an earlier mention with more details about PayShrink -- and they also found it interesting that PayShrink is a cunningly cutting-edge service because it is both low-tech and high-tech at the same time.
And they correctly called us out for using these buzzwords -- but hey, when you got something this innovative, it's hard to come up with a better term sometimes.
More interviews are being scheduled now with other media outlets -- if you'd like to learn more about us or would like a media kit, please contact us at (559) 892-1709. |

PayShrink, a service that lets shoppers find and retrieve discounts anywhere via text message, has launched a trial mode, which lets anyone with a cell phone retrieve up to three discounts without registering.
The trial mode means that PayShrink will spread through word-of-mouth, unlocking the true potential of the PayShrink system. Our goal has always been to create a way for shoppers to save money for free without having to fumble through a bulky discount book -- and we also wanted to figure out a way that people could share the spam-free service on the spot.
With the trial mode, this is now possible! Imagine standing in line at a Deli Delicious and not only getting an instant discount when ordering, but also being able to tell your friends behind you in line that they can do the same -- even if they have not yet registered!
The trial mode works like this: Anyone with an SMS-enabled cell phone can text "payshrink trial" (without the quotes) to the short number DOTCOM (368266). This activates a trial mode, which allows that phone to retrieve up to three discounts before it's over! After the three have been retrieved, users are reminded to register for free at PayShrink. While PayShrink itself is free for shoppers, standard text messaging rates apply.
Some of our great features, such as saving favorites for easy retrieval, won't work in the trial mode. A cell phone is only allowed one trial of the service.
But we know that once users get a taste of the savings, they'll be back for more.
More features are on their way. Stay tuned for some great news coming later this week as well.
The list of merchants is growing as we head toward the completion of our discount quarterly book, which will be distributed to 40,000 homes in Fresno in the Fall. If you're interested in joining our network of merchants, please call 559-892-1709 or email us at

Is it just the start of things to come?
PayShrink, a marketing platform that gives Fresno shoppers access to a network of merchants offering discounts via text message, was recently given a shout-out on the site FresnoFamous.com, a Web site dedicated to Fresno life.
As the post describes, PayShrink is currently in BETA and we are only listing a few of our signed merchants, who have agreed to participate in this public testing phase of our system. Shoppers can use the site and find shops, save favorites and retrieve discounts via text message right away, and for free -- and those who sign up now will have the best chance at finding even better deals as the site grows.
The news is starting to spread. But we still need your help! Please let everyone know that PayShrink.com is the best way to get discounts in Fresno -- send them a link to our site today!

We are pleased to introduce PayShrink, a new service that gives shoppers a new way to get discounts -- via text message!
The site is launching in beta this month, and we plan to have great gifts to help usher in this new innovative discount service.
So what is PayShrink? In brief, it's a new service that has not yet been seen anywhere in the world. Totally free to the consumer, the service allows merchants to choose up to five discounts that our site's members retrieve via text message or by printing the secured discounts on our Web site. In addition, we also run a quarterly circular throughout Fresno.
More details are coming soon, so please, stay tuned for exciting new details!
