Aimed at the world's estimated 500 million small businesses, the service will be designed to help them get more business through personalized, relevant offers and marketing messages, in a way unmatched by traditional methods. The first market launch is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2010.

IDC research analyst for small and medium businesses Timothy Doherty said small businesses have a strong appetite for tools that can help them reach their customers and attract new ones. "There is a real opportunity for cost effective solutions that allow small businesses to pro-actively target the mobile customer with highly contextual offerings based on location and past purchase behavior."

Alex Lintner, President, Intuit Global Business Division said, "We plan to offer them a way to strengthen customer relationships, through targeted communications that increase sales by delivering more customer visits. We're applying the same proven formula we've used with QuickBooks to help small businesses succeed by better serving their customers.”
