Weingarten Realty is entering into an exciting partnership with MeNetwork and Gobza to help provide free advertising venues to our tenants as an additional effort in our SHOPCENTRIC program. We feel both marketing platforms will increase sales, build awareness and add powerful mobile capabilities to our tenant’s marketing toolkits. Both MeNework and Gobza utilize new technology to drive sales.

MeNetwork is a sophisticated mobile marketing platform which provides retailers the ability to create custom offers, events, and announcements to reach everyone carrying a mobile phone or tablet with the MeNetwork’s free app. MeNetwork pushes notifications based on the user’s location and preferences.

Weingarten is offering a one year subscription to MeNetwork for all of its retailers who fit within the MeNetwork criteria and cities their services are offered, starting with their higher end centers in Houston, Texas.

Gobza is a new ground-breaking advertising medium that is free to all advertisers. It is a Search Engine for Savings for the consumer, fueled by free advertising for all businesses.  Gobza is available to all businesses, non-profits and shoppers for free.

Registering with Gobza is by invitation only and will provide huge rewards for active members. Not only can retailers advertise their products and services for free, when you share Gobza with others, every time one of your referrals buys something, or anytime a business you refer sells something, you can make a commission.

To sign up to explore Gobza in more detail, use the Weingarten Realty GobzaLink, www.gobza.com/weingartenrealty and start shopping, saving and advertising.

As part of our SHOPCENTRIC initiative, our goal is to help our small shop retailers succeed. We constantly seek opportunities to present to our tenants to assist in their continued success.
