TIGAL launches Messagenie G1 for easy, fast and cost effective SMS Mobile Marketing

Dec. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- Messagenie G1 is a compact, powerful and low cost solution for managing a large number of SMS and MMS Messages from a computer or network. It has been designed especially with enterprises with limited budgets in mind and provides a low cost solution for easy implementation of a variety of Mobile Marketing tools through SMS and MMS messaging.

Text messaging offers a reliable, efficient, fast, secure and economical means by which to communicate with key audiences, colleagues, customers and business partners in all industry sectors. Integrating Text Messaging (SMS) and Multimedia Messaging (MMS) into the overall Marketing Mix as an additional two way communication channel enhances interaction with all relevant stakeholders, thus improving customer experience, satisfaction and retention, and ultimately increasing sales.  

Messagenie G1 enables users to send, receive and organize SMS and MMS messages using a commercial SIM card through an easy-to-use Flash interface. It can be directly plugged in to a computer or a laptop (or to a Local Area Network for multiple users) and is ready to run out-of-the-box. Default features include receiving and sending SMS messages, automatic Poll and Survey generation, phone book and contact management, user profiles, system configuration and basic Messagenie wall for projecting messages to a wall, screen or an external monitor. Default functionality can be easily expanded through an ever increasing number of off-the-shelf or custom plug-ins.

In comparison to most common web-based mobile messaging solutions, Messagenie offers the benefit of mobility, security and reliability by not requiring an internet connection. Through an ever increasing number of expansion plugins that include lifetime updates, Messagenie enables users to upgrade their services over time depending on their needs and creativity. Custom plugins for specific purposes will also be available upon request. Messagenie includes a quad band GSM modem and can be operated anywhere in the world. Applications of SMS/MMS messaging are virtually unlimited and as a solution Messagenie is ideal for Radio Stations, TV Stations, Event Organizers, Bars and Clubs, Schools and Communities and Retailers, to mention a few.

“Due to speed flexibility and convenience SMS/MMS Messaging is still gaining ground as an increasingly preferred mobile marketing and communications channel by companies, customers and consumers alike. We have gained a lot of interest for the solution from many Radio Stations and are in cooperation discussions with a number of notable Mobile Operators, Advertising Agencies and Event Organizers in Austria. We are very pleased to be able to offer the market a flexible and low-cost solution to enable more companies and organizations take advantage of what SMS/MMS Mobile Marketing has to offer.” – Tiziano Galizia, Managing Director, Tigal
