(PRWEB) December 14, 2004 -- New advertising service offered by Flashoffers, Inc. (http://www.flashoffers.com), makes it possible for restaurants to send timely promotions and offers to a diner’s cellular phone. The proliferation of cellular phones makes this advertising medium an unexplored goldmine for companies looking for new and “clutter-free” approaches to reaching customers.
With Mobile Campaign Management, a monthly subscription service from Flashoffers, restaurants can send daily promotions and offers to attract customers. Only those diners who have opted-in will receive these daily promotions on their cellular phones in the form of a text message. Once customers receive the text message, they may choose to take advantage of the promotion, forward the text message to the cellular phone of friends and coworkers, or delete it and wait for tomorrow’s offerings. Flashoffers is currently offering a 1 month free trial of the Mobile Campaign Management service.
“For the first time, restaurants will have the power to increase their profitability by controlling the exact time that the marketing message is to be delivered,” said Joe Boutros, cofounder. He stressed that in advertising and marketing, delivering the message at the right time and right place is the difference between success and failure. “Your customers can receive the lunch time promotion at 11 AM - just as they are getting hungry and deciding on lunch options with coworkers. Imagine the takeout promotion being sent out at 4PM - who wants to cook after work when they can get takeout! These examples are just some of the many possibilities.”
Flashoffers’ Mobile Campaign Management service delivers text messages utilizing Short Message Service (SMS) technology over digital-based mobile communications systems and networks. The SMS industry is a multi-billion dollar industry based mostly in Asian and European countries. Many US companies have started providing services via SMS (i.e. sports scores, stock quotes, etc.) to customers. However, Flashoffers is the first company to specifically create SMS services and products catered to the restaurant industry.
“Restaurants will continue to benefit from Flashoffers’ commitment to being the premiere personal marketing solutions provider for the food and entertainment industries. Today, we are talking about sending marketing campaigns in the form of text messages to cell phones. In the future, customers can expect to see rich multi-media content delivered to a multitude of personal electronic devices.”
