TextOnPhone enhanced to include platform for mobile marketing of books
Posted by Dusan on Sunday, February 10th, 2008 at 6:28 am under iPhone, Content, Services
TextOnPhone, which was probably best known to iPhone and iPod Touch users as a web destination for reading books, has recently expanded its platform for all the parties involved — including readers, authors and publishers.
The main idea of a newly launched platform is to connect authors with a new audience, while providing mobile consumers with entertaining books and stories. The obvious example would be to allow authors in the network to share short stories and book excerpts with readers and communicate directly within their social network…
TextOnPhone offers a library of over 20,000 books in 37 languages along with short stories and book excerpts contributed by contemporary authors. It is available live from here.

New Method For 100% Opt-In SMS Marketing
Building an opt-in marketing list can be a rather daunting task. Whether it be for internet marketing, traditional marketing, and especially for SMS marketing. An interesting new service is out to change all that.
AdCalls offers a new approach to building your opt-in SMS marketing list by utilizing the incentive of free calls for your potential clients/customers. Here’s how it works…
Upon partnering with AdCalls, you receive customized calling cards that sport your company’s logo, and other information about your products or services. You can then offer the cards to your existing and potential customers for free. When the customers use their free calls, they get SMS messages sent to their cell phones in the form of any content you choose. You can customize the content via an online control panel, while tracking in real time your results. As an advertiser or “private label client” you also receive a customized PC phone dialer to give away free to your customers as well. Every time the customer uses the dialer, they see your advertisements and logo in exchange for free PC-based calls.
The company uses it’s own P2P (Phone2Phone) network to accomplish the service. When a customer uses the calling card, they simply call a local number which connects them to the network. They can then dial any number to place their free calls. What this system also does is track the user’s information and inserts the data into a CRM application, while giving you the opportunity and the permission to send them an advertisement via SMS.
The service is available in three package levels; Professional, Corporate, and Private Network. They all share the same basic functionality, but differ in the number of phone cards issued per month, as well as the number of text messages you can send per month. Prices range from $50 per month for 200 phone cards initially, 100 per month thereafter, and 100 text messages to $200 per month for 2,000 cards initially, 300 per month thereafter, 500 text messages, and personalized company greetings when your customers use the cards.
AdCalls most recent product introduction is FREE CALLING CLUB. (www.freecallingclub.com). A CRM solution for Direct Sales and Network Marketing Companies.
