2ergo offers a simple way to create targeted mobile marketing campaigns

2ergo, recently in the news after developing an iPhone app for Pizza Express, has launched a new mobile marketing service for businesses. It’s called mobileDNA and gives businesses the chance to send targeted offers and vouchers to mobile phone users.

The service uses 2ergo’s database of ten million opted-in mobile phone users from the UK. This contains age, interests and location information along with data from the users’ mobile behaviour and transactions.

As a result, campaigns can be created in days - and without participating companies needing to make any major investment in infrastructure.

John Stevens, group managing director of 2ergo, said “Our mobile campaign package is a world first – marketers not only have access and insight into 10m mobile phone users, but also the ability to set up targeted, compelling mobile campaigns extremely quickly. There’s no requirement to invest in mobile infrastructure, meaning marketers feeling overwhelmed about getting their mobile strategy right now have an effective, expedient way of targeting prospective customers, and securing their long-term loyalty.”

To launch the new service, 2ergo has created a set of tips for marketers who want to launch an effective and targeted mobile campaign. The guide can be downloaded from http://mailshot.2ergo.com/acquisitionguide

This is interesting. The most important part of a mobile campaign is to get your customers to opt-in to YOUR database. Not to send messages to a random opt in list.

An extra 74 percent of nothing is still nothing

Mark Bridge writes

Ah, the joys of multiplying by zero. I was reminded of my school maths lessons when I saw a news release from Orange UK this week.

Steve Wallage, Head of Sport Partnerships and Services for Orange UK was quoted as saying “Based on the surge in demand for mobile TV during the Ashes last summer, we expect viewing figures could rocket by at least 74% during the World Cup”.

Hotel doors open with mobile phones... but it's not like WarGames

Mark Bridge writes:

I loved the film WarGames. I saw it in the cinema when it came out… and developed a minor crush on Ally Sheedy as a result. If you don’t remember the film – or haven’t seen it – the plot centres on a young computer hacker who almost starts World War III while playing an illicit online game of Global Thermonuclear War with a military computer.

Apple, Google - or the rest? It's time to take sides!

Mark Bridge writes:

It’s time to take sides. Are you with Apple… or are you against them?  Sorry, sitting on the fence is no longer acceptable. Not sure?  Okay, try this one for size. Are you with Google… or are you against them?  Still undecided?

Right – here’s your third choice. Are you with the Rebel Alliance?

A lukewarm mobile payment solution doesn't benefit anyone

Mark Bridge writes:

It's not often that a news story about the Apple iPhone prompts me to remember a bible verse... but this week was an exception.

The story was in The Washington Post and it was headlined 'Apple's iPhone does well without being the best'. “Very true,” I thought, as I remembered something similar I'd written last summer.
