Bringing Coupons to Your Mobile Phone

Announce Mobile launches AnnounceIt mobile coupon and notification platform. AnnounceIt allows businesses and services of any size to create and send coupons, promotions, or event notifications via SMS text message.

Lakeland, FL, August 18, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Announce Mobile, Inc. a leading provider of mobile marketing solutions located in Lakeland, Florida announces the launch of its AnnounceIt mobile coupon platform. AnnounceIt allows retailers, bars, restaurants, and national brands of any size to reach consumers via SMS text-messaging.

Through the AnnounceIt platform businesses or services are able to offer mobile coupons, promotions, and event notifications easily and affordably. With AnnounceIt, messages are sent out instantly so retailers, restaurants, and bars can alert their customers of special promotions and coupons in real-time. AnnounceIt can also extend existing marketing campaigns through the inclusion of short codes in their advertisements so both existing and potential customers can sign-up and interact with a particular business or service. Consumers can also sign-up for and choose which businesses or services they would like to receive messages from through the Announce Mobile, Inc. website. “By allowing consumers to pick and choose the coupons or messages they want to receive via our system, businesses gain immediate access to customers without having to promote the mobile campaign,” says Jeff Mould, President of Announce Mobile, Inc. “Consumers get the advantage of being able to select from a list of local, regional, or national brands and choose the types of messages they want to receive and the times they want to receive them.”

“With mobile coupons consumers no longer have to remember to bring them when they go out, making them much more effective then their printed counterparts. Research has shown that mobile coupon campaigns are 4 to 5 times more effective then printed coupons,” says Mould. “For businesses, AnnounceIt allows them to instantly send out a coupon on a slow day or night to generate foot-traffic and revenue. For example, a pizza delivery business having a slow night could send out a ‘Buy 1 Get 1 Free’ coupon to their customers at 5:00pm and by 5:05pm everyone has received the coupon.”

According to the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) over 9.8 billion text messages were sent in December 2005. That is an increase of over 109% from 2004. In addition, over 75% of text-messaging users are between the ages of 18 and 39, making it an excellent media to engage existing customers and attract new ones. “Text messaging has changed the way society communicates. Compared to print and postage costs, mobile advertising is less expensive and provides a highly targeted audience,” added Mould. “Announce Mobile provides connectivity to all the major US carriers making AnnounceIt available to over 95% of US subscribers.”
