Could Text Messaging Become A High-Tech Handshake?
MESSAGEbuzz.com is a Cost-Effective Way to Deliver a Message to the Right Person at the Right Time
Saint Louis, MO - January 31, 2007. MESSAGEbuzz.com, one of the nation's premier self-service text message marketing firms, is changing the way America does business. Many deals are still sealed with a handshake, but increasingly those deals are based on critical information delivered by text messages. In the future, more business decisions may be based on the text information held in the palm-sized wireless device than on the traditional sales call and traditional handshake."Text messaging has proven to be an amazing sales tool for anyone who wants to touch prospects on a regular basis at a low cost," said MESSAGEbuzz CEO Steven Kelley. "Many of our clients are national companies with employees and sales representatives over a wide geographical area. They need critical time-sensitive and vital sales information to seal the deal, and MESSAGEbuzz's easy-to use web-based system puts that information in the palm of the employee's hand," added Kelley. "For example, American Energy Solutions® has found the flexibility and customization of MESSAGEbuzz services to be a competitive edge for the utility with the instant delivery of price changes, company alerts and other vital sales information."
The control over interaction and ease of use were two features of the MESSAGEbuzz system that appealed to leaders of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA when they developed a mobile marketing plan to reach Northwest Flight Attendants around the globe. The flight attendants usually always have a cell phone with them and the flexibility of the MESSAGEbuzz system allowed union leaders to craft a multi-layered communication plan to keep their membership informed.
These are just a couple of many ways businesses and other organizations are using MESSAGEbuzz technology. An amazing number of groups are tapping the power of text to realize remarkable results in 2006 and 2007 is showing signs of even greater growth: "During 2006 MESSAGEbuzz helped retailers, restaurants, colleges, utilities, political and other organizations deliver their message," explained Kelley. "I believe that we will see cell phones and mobile devices take on new importance as not only a way to communicate, but a tool of commerce. Several merchants are working with MESSAGEbuzz on premium campaigns (text to pay programs) and I think we will also see much more of that in 2007," he added.
