Social media and mobile commerce are key areas for the retailer, which has attracted 43,000 fans since it launched its Facebook page a year ago.

The deal has been brokered by mobile commerce agency One Iota.

Users can redeem the discount in Republic stores in Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham Leeds and London.
