Freeport Merchant’s Association Offers Members Cutting Edge Mobile Marketing Opportunities

Freeport, ME, August 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- In a groundbreaking move to offer the latest in marketing technology, The Freeport Merchant’s Association is using the MOWBI platform to make it easy and affordable for local Freeport businesses to enter the mobile commerce market.

FMA Executive Director, Myra Hopkins commented, “The MOWBI platform is such a powerful application, not only in its versatility and reach, which it has, but in its affordability. This technology and how it’s being presented puts an enormous amount of business power in the hands of our members, many of whom wouldn’t have the resources to develop their mobile presence on their own. As it is, not only can we offer our members access to this technology, but we can do it affordably and at the front end. This time, we’re poised to be the trendsetters and that’s very exciting to all of us here at FMA and all of our members.”

Through MOWBI, all FMA members will receive a free one page mobile website, which will act as an enhanced mobile directory listing for each organization, complete with color and template options, and vital company information such as directions, means of contact, and a corporate logo. Not only does the free one page site attract the attention of a growing mobile audience, but it also creates a solid, optimized mobile presence. This service would typically cost thousands of dollars; however, access to this exciting tool is free for all FMA members.

FMA members also have more powerful commerce tools available that will allow them to take full advantage of the opportunities that mobile presents. Members can choose from a menu of tools, such as Text Clubs, which facilitate opt-in Text Message Marketing; a Mobile Invoicing tool that allows businesses to use mobile phones to create and send invoices to customers; and members can even create full scale Mobile Commerce Websites, where consumers can purchase goods and services via mobile phone. These cutting edge tools enable FMA members to customize their mobile sites with powerful modules that enable a business with a measure of agility unheard of in the past.

The Freeport Merchants Association offers its members targeted tools to build and grow their businesses. They are launching their mobile marketing efforts just as the mobile commerce trend ramps up as the new “hot-spot” for the businesses and the tech industry. MOWBI is an exciting mobile platform created by developers located in Portland, Maine.
