New UK Mobile SMS Marketing Service Launched

Feb. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- SMS Mobile marketing (sending Bulk SMS marketing messages direct to customers mobile phones) is a reliable, low cost way for businesses to promote their services and business offers. And now uMobilize Promotions, a software company providing innovative mobile and web-based marketing and promotional solutions, aim to open up the realm of SMS Marketing / text message marketing to small businesses through-out The United Kingdom, with the release of their web-based SMS Mobile Marketing service “uConnect” ( www.uconnectsms.co.uk )
“With current business conditions being so challenging, small business owners are becoming more and more conscious of their operating costs. At the same time they are aware that promoting their business and service offerings is as vital as ever.” said Philip Culbert, co-founder of uMobilize Promotions. “The goal of uMobilize Promotions is to develop easy-to-use, flexible services that allow our clients communicate with their customers and contacts in a reliable, cost effective manner. uConnect allows business owners accomplish this by combining the ease of use and accessibility of internet based services with the every present nature of mobile and smart phones. ”
uConnect helps businesses engage with their customers by sending targeted promotional text message offers and graphical mobile coupons. Once delivered, customers can redeem the promotional offers at the point of sale by displaying them on their phone.
uConnect allows customers upload their list of mobile subscribers or build their mobile subscriber list using txt2joing keywords, SMS short codes and customisable web-site registration forms. Contacts can be divided into relevant groups (e.g. based on customers location, gender, purchasing habits etc) to maximise offer targeting and optimise ROI.  And uConnects Campaign analysis features allow customers review the success of their offer.
Customers can purchase SMS credit online at a fraction of the cost of standard SMS messages and send messages to their customers from their web portal or direct from their mobile phone. Customers can also register txt2join keywords which they can then advertise in-store or on their promotional literature to automatically build up their list of mobile contacts.
uMobilize Promotions Product Development Manager/Co-Owner Conor Heaney added “To survive in this slow economy, we need to get economical and creative with how we reach our customers. Marketing to their mobile phone is a very personal and effective way to do this. With uConnect we wanted to give our customers a flexible and user-friendly promotional tool that can be used straight off the bat. You don’t need to be an IT expert or marketing guru to use uConnect. With uConnect you can register free of charge and be sending bulk sms marketing messages in minutes”.
Added Philip Culbert, “The beauty of sending SMS promotional and business offers is that you know your message will be seen. 94% of text messages sent are read, 75% within 4 minutes of being received. And as we all know, nobody leaves home these days without their mobile. So you can be confident that your message will reach its audience. ”.
