LocBox provides a single dashboard for local businesses to run and manage targeted campaigns across email, Facebook, Twitter, SMS and Yelp. Campaign types include exclusive offers, birthday rewards, contests and other promotions aimed at driving immediate sales or acquiring fans and reviews. The platform gives new users a diagnostic of their online and social presence and uses data from past campaigns to recommend campaign types and pricing. LocBox says it has run more than 2,000 campaigns since launching last year and cites a customer that generated $30,000 in revenue from two campaigns. The company plans to expand its analytics and automation to produce full-blown marketing plans for customers and is moving into additional campaign types such as Facebook advertising. LocBox was incubated at AngelPad; CEO Saumil Mehta and CTO Sailesh Ramakrishnan previously held product and engineering roles at Kosmix.
