Short Messaging Services (SMS) or Text Messaging
For Your Business
SMS
messaging is beginning to mushroom here in the United States. It has been hot
in Europe and Asia for years. Now American businesses can share in the rewards
of this successful marketing program.
Businesses
in all sectors of all sizes are looking to SMS text messaging to supplement
advertising, promotion and customer service. It makes cents! Imagine sending a message to
1000 customers or prospects all at once, for pennies per message, knowing THEY
ARE GOING TO READ IT!

your business. Dan Youra has 30 years experience in the computer and

Youra Studios offers a full range of solutions through SMS Services from the wireless
carriers. We provide software and/or a subscription service to our clients, and
help implement every step of the way. We are able to send a message to any
wireless device (phone, pager, PDA, blackberry, etc.)Š like no others can!
Have
you heard of short codes? Voting, sweepstakes, etc, via SMS/Text
Messaging? American Idol? The short code is truly the magic in SMS messaging..
much like the web site was years ago. We can help you get one.
There
are two levels of programs we support: The Basic SMS level is just sending text messages to/from
devices; and we offer Premium SMS Services, where you can send/receive text/binary messages
as well as having full access to carrier capabilities (such as reverse billing,
etc.)
US
companies are adopting this new technology at a record pace, for many
applications. Here are just a few of the popular uses:
.
General
SMS messaging: Mobile Marketing, advertising, promotions, voting, polling
.
Premium
Messaging: Ring tones, Photos, Content Delivery, etc.
.
Enterprise
Messaging: client alerts, account alerts, service alerts.
For the
travel and entertainment markets this is absolutely going to generate the next
wave of revenue to your bottom line. We can put together a program that
gets your target market to call your reservation desk and book with you. You
can have your customers and prospects sign up for regular communication from
you. You¹ll be on the top of their calling list.
If you
have content to sell, such as jokes, information services, horoscopes, ring
tones, photos/wallpaper/screen savers; NMS can get you up and selling quickly
and professionally. It's tricky business, but it's a huge business too.
"ring tones" has been one of the top Google search phrases for
months!
If you
can offer coupons or other promotions for your goods or services, mobile
marketing is going to be your new ticket to adding customers, turning prospects
into customers, and increasing the average amount spent per patron.
Can you
think of regular messages you could send out? Do you have a message that
customers and prospects will think about forwarding on to their family,
friends?
Do you
have a schedule of events, a schedule of services that your customers need to
know about? They will keep coming back!
We can
help you sort through them quickly and move to the right program for your
specific needs, cost included.
Here
are links to a couple PDF data sheets on the two levels of service we offer.
Read these and let's talk when you're ready.
