Scotts Heats Up Summer With My Scotts Lawn Mobile App

MARYSVILLE, Ohio, May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The recent spring weather hasn't dampened the grass care spirits of  The Scotts Company which launched an enhanced version of its My Scotts Lawn mobile app available in the Apple App Store and the Android Market.

The My Scotts Lawn app was developed in partnership with appssavvy (www.appssavvy.com), a company that connects brands to people through social activities performed across apps, web and mobile.

"We listened to our consumers regarding what they wanted to see us improve in the mobile app we launched last year," said Kip Edwardson, manager interactive marketing, ScottsMiracle-Gro. "The first version focused on the popular Scotts lawn care program but consumers told us they wanted more features, like a calendar they can customize, more tips and more product information. We've included all of that and more in this release."

The latest My Scotts Lawn version will be enhanced with a customized calendar, weed identification, regionalized lawn care tips, how-to videos, more product information, social sharing, and links to coupons. Scotts plans to push timely tips and articles to the app where users will then have the ability to save those tips in the app's calendar function, set reminders and check on their lawns progress. If there is ever a question, the app has a "click to connect" feature where the user can instantly call Scotts Consumer Service or send an email.
