We had our first exclusive coupon offered by Akira this past weekend and the results were pretty good. Jon Cotay the owner of Akira told us to put up an exclusive 25% coupon for the Akira Men Store this weekend and we brought in 120 views. That's pretty good considering people have to be nearby the store to be able to view the deal. We don't have statistics on how many people actually went into the store, we'll have to get that info later on this week. We'll be working with Jon and Akira on getting more exclusive deals down the road and hopefully get something going for all the stores around Chicagoland.
Leona's Restaurants told us that they will be running a few test runs of promotions on Tabblr soon; we'll have to wait and see what kind of specials they run! :) Buckle is still on hold because of their website reconstruction. They are concentrating all their efforts on their new website so plans with Tabblr have been postponed. I'm still working with them on getting Tabblr up with Buckle as soon as possible.
In terms of everything else, we have been reaching out to businesses either to have them sign up on Tabblr or for partnership talks. We are going to initiate talks with a large coupon distributor here in Chicago next week. If a partnership is formed, we believe will be greatly beneficial to both parties but we'll see.
Exciting times ahead, make sure to KEEP TABS on Tabblr!

iPhone App is LIVE!
Finally after 8 days of waiting, the Tabblr app is approved by Apple!
Link
Now with both Android and iPhone apps out, we feel like we are ready to dominate the world! J/king, we realize there are still plenty of people out there that are using Blackberries and the new Windows 7 phone. We will eventually get to them, but we want to get established on tablets first. Our next app will definitely be for the iPad. We have some exciting plans for the iPad and plan on adding a few additional features.
Besides app news, we will be featured in on Crains and Flyovergeeks this week; we'll link the articles up on the front page as soon as they are posted. In terms of national clients, we are still talking with Buckle and now Great Clips. Our meeting with Akira Chicago has been postponed so we are still looking forward to that. We are also looking to talk to park districts and forest preserves around Chicago and getting their events listed up on Tabblr.

Waiting...
We been waiting patiently for Apple to approve the Tabblr iPhone app and our patience is about to run out! :) We are hopeful that we will hear something back this weekend or early next week. The Tabblr app is extremely cool and we think people will really like it.
We are going to roll out a few minor changes on the webpage soon. Something we really want to change is our About page because our current about page is too wordy and too long. Our new version will be short, to the point and with pictures. Who doesn't like pictures?
And lastly with sign ups, we are slowly gaining traction. We held out on going hardcore door-to-door promoting because we have been waiting for the iPhone app. We are also waiting to hear back from the big clients we talked to soon, keeping our fingers crossed.
