VANCOUVER, BC, February 14, 2023, Fobi AI Inc. (FOBI:TSXV) (FOBIF:OTCQB) (the "Company" or "Fobi"), an industry leader in harnessing AI and data intelligence to enable digital transformation, is pleased to announce that Qples by Fobi has signed a reseller deal with SMS PROMO. SMS PROMO has been involved in the promotions industry for more than 30 years and has many global Tier 1 CPG brand customers. These customers use SMS PROMO services for traditional promotional and coupon campaigns, however, they will now be able to utilize the Qples coupon platform for both print at home coupons and new AI (8112) Universal Digital Coupons.  

This agreement is the first reseller agreement for Qples by Fobi as they grow their strategic channel network, expand their reach and distribution, and gain access to new customers and brands by accessing the client base of key partners in the coupon industry. SMS PROMO is a key partner with a long history in the legacy print coupon industry and has many Tier 1 CPG brands in their customer base that they will now be introducing the Qples by Fobi platform to. Their choice of Qples as a partner to help drive a new phase in their business with print at home and the new AI (8112) Universal Digital Coupons validates Qples as one of the industry’s leading coupon platforms.  

Val Stark, Director of SMS PROMO, states: “The coupon industry is transforming before us, and we believe that Qples is incredibly well-positioned and a true industry leading coupon provider. The Qples platform is incredibly easy to use and with this reseller partnership, it now enables us to not only offer the traditional clip and print manufacturers coupons but strategically positions us to support and offer the all new 8112 digital format.”

Rob Anson, CEO of Fobi, states: “We have been busy with the planning and launch of our strategic channel reseller network, as this grows the distribution of content and enables us to grow our revenues. Our first successful reseller agreement with SMS PROMO not only gives us a great early win but gives us tremendous confidence as SMS PROMO is one of the leading print-based promotion and coupon companies with solid industry knowledge, credibility, and scale.” 

Thanks to their low cost and ease of personalization, a recent research report from Transparency Market Research says that the digital coupon market is expected to grow from $4.7 billion in 2020 to $29.7 billion in 2031 with a compound annual growth rate of 18.6%.
