Ridind with 3030 to Elevate

 (A continuation of 3030 making its presence felt) 

This weekend it seems 3030 is not only making its presence felt but it is planning my weekend too … Browsing through the news paper this morning, I noticed an ad for zahid Mustafa performing at elevate and in the corner of the ad I noticed an all too familiar short code  3030. Compelling me to sms elevate for the lineup’s of the weekend.

 

Sitting at the breakfast table ,discussing our plans for the  weekend  , my brother made plans  to test drive a few cars and buying  a car for himself  finally !! .Lying  next to him on the table  was a ad to test drive the new  Chevrolet Aveo   , funnily 3030 had a role to play there to , it seems I will be testing the Chevrolet Aveo over the weekend . Thanks 3030 

  I am looking forward to the weekend and more I guess wondering where 3030 will pop – up next.

Short codes in advertising for higher ROI

Ask any advertising guru and they will say that most effective advertising is when it has high recall value and/or call-for-action from the target audience.

Mobile advertising solves the dilemma to a large extent – target audience can be defined, advertisers’ details can be instantly saved on handsets, and contacted when required.

A UK based research has revealed that 44% of mobile users between the ages of 18 and 60, could not respond to advertising as they would have forgotten details of the advertisers. This is despite searching for the product/company. Mobile shortcodes are a great help in this scenario as mobile users are able to sent text to short codes and receive further information.

Seems like the research collaborates what we have been saying so often
