SMS / MMS SMS marketing can be very powerful when used correctly (i.e. opt in and of relevance and value to consumer). Some examples of text-based campaigns & products are: • Text to win mechanics • Text to receive link for WAP site • Text to register • Store finders • SMS couponing • Information query When implementing SMS campaigns a short code is generally required for each country. Short codes should generally be shared i.e. text ENTER to 66556, the word ENTER ensures all messages come to you. The benefit of sharing is the cost is negligible in comparison to dedicated.
SMS / MMS Here is a good example where engaging marketing materials have been used to drive SMS participation and then attendance to a Sprint promotional tent. The SMS mechanic was cheap to deploy but far more successful than any other Sprint participation initiatives to date. 2 1 3 4 Marketing collateral • Mobile technology partner process and pass on the information to Mobile Ticketing partner and coupon is allocated from the database with details.
