Services
Backend Suite
You'll find all the tools needed to collect and manage your data.
Set up all your alerts and campaigns to go out an hour or a year
from now with calendar. Manage your short code and keywords on
demand. Get instant reports on all your messaging. Send messages
in multiple forms.
SMTP
This is a cheaper and semi reliable method of delivering a text
message. (Not recommended for critical alerts.) You
can also use it for email.
SMPP
Short Message Peer to Peer has 98.9% delivery rate and is always
used with a short code.
Both are based on volumes. SMPP services require a monthly agreement
with short code. Minimum 3 months.
Short Codes
These are the 5 to 6 digit codes used for premium and non-premium
opt-ins; short numbers that are easy to remember. Premiums have a
fee that is charged to the end user. Example: text RINGTONE to 12345
— this service is 1.99 per ringtone. Non-premiums are free to the
end user. This is an easy opt-in for the consumer to register for
your text alerts. You must always offer an opt-out feature. Premiums
codes require you to fill out a program brief, which is then reviewed
by the carriers so they can approve your content. Take 5 Mobile can
handle the entire process for you.
WAP
Wireless Application Protocol connects your phone to a mobile website
or landing page. Our in-house programmers can develop a WAP application
for you or manage an existing one.
MMS (Multi Media Service)
MMS extends text messaging to include
longer text, graphics, photos, audio clips, video clips or any combination
of the above, within certain size limits.
Voice Blasting
Take 5 Mobile also provides this unique way to send out mass voice
calls in seconds, either to a landline or cell phone. This is done
through our VOIP gateway.
Mobile Coupons
Paper vouchers and coupons have had their day, but now the mobile
channel makes more sense. By way of unique offer codes, vouchers
and coupons remain on consumers' phones once received, vastly improving
uptake rates. Later in a retail outlet, consumers can take advantage
of special offers simply by displaying the appropriate promo or matrix
code to the retailer. Distributing coupons and vouchers to consumers
via SMS can drastically reduce costs associated with a campaign.
Plus, because each mobile coupon has a unique number, uptake is traceable
down to the individual level, allowing the creation of sophisticated
customer profiles for future customized marketing.
Mobile Ticketing
Here's a promising idea whose time has come: the distribution of
tickets-sports, entertainment, even travel-via SMS and the mobile
phone. SMS not only offers significant cost savings for ticketing
organizations, it also simplifies tracking the number of tickets
sold and distributed. The mobile phone can act as both a payment
mechanism and as a delivery channel for tickets. Payment can also
be made by other means, with ticket distribution managed via mobile
phone. There are many possibilities, all of them working to increase
convenience and open up new marketing opportunities.
