Introducing our first national Google Offer with REI and a new Android app

Today we’re running our very first national Google Offer and it’s with my favorite national outdoor retailer, REI. If you enjoy hiking, biking, running, and sleeping under the stars then you’ll love our deal with REI -- the brand that’s outfitted and inspired adventurers since 1938. We’re also releasing our first Google Offers mobile app that’s now available for free in Android Market. At last, you can discover, purchase and redeem great offers even when you’re on the road.

Purchase today’s REI deal and you’ll get $25 to spend on top-notch gear for $15, so you’re ready for your next encounter in the great outdoors. This deal can be used to shop online at REI.com, or at one of their 120 stores nationwide.

On the heels of our last update, the REI deal marks an important achievement for us in the growth of Google Offers by creating a truly national platform where businesses can connect with new customers whether they’re in San Francisco, Dallas, New York or Boston. And the sky’s the limit from here. We’re committed to growing the Google Offers platform to make it a global extension of our advertising tools for merchants, as well as the go-to spot for quality, easily accessible, and personalized deals for you.

With our new mobile app you can discover, buy and redeem your favorite deals on the go. The free app will notify you about all the great offers that match your interests. You can purchase offers in just a few clicks and even redeem paperlessly with select merchants. If you’re out and about be sure to pick up today’s offer for REI with the Google Offers app. You can download the app from Android Market.
