King of Prussia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/25/2014 -- 84444.ca is a text message marketing company that offers businesses the chance to market themselves through their "do-it-yourself" text message marketing platform. In their efforts to make their services effective for businesses that have a branded vanity phone number/landline, the professionals from 84444 are pleased to offer their new text to landline service.

This new service, aptly called "Text To Landline," will be introduced in December 2014. The idea behind it is to give businesses that have a landline as their branded vanity number the chance to both send out and receive text messages via their landline phone number.

In addition to allowing businesses to both send and receive texts via their landline, it will also save them from the expense of having to pay their employees' cell phone bills. For example, fitness centers that have multiple trainers on staff often use personal text messages as a way to stay in sync with their clients. Oftentimes, the personal trainers cell phone bills are paid by the fitness center and the costs can be quite high. However, with a service such as 84444's "Text To Landline," the trainers can simply log onto a website and interact with their clients that way. Plus, not only will a service such as this save fitness centers money, but it will allow for the protection of their employees by not having them give out their cellphone number to clients who may end up abusing the business relationship that they have with their trainer.

There is no denying that the world of mobile text message marketing is evolving. Companies like 84444 are always on the lookout to provide their clients with the most innovative text message marketing products and services, and their new "Text To Landline" service is certainly a step in the right direction. To learn more about this new service please visit their website or give them a call at 416-800-2490.

King of Prussia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2014 -- 84444, a mobile marketing company, has recently released a new infographic titled "The History of the Text Message." With this new infographic, the professionals from 84444 are offering their audience a brief, yet informative look into the evolution of the text message.

Text message usage, as well as mobile phone usage itself, has skyrocketed since the first mobile phone call was made over forty years ago by Motorola employee Martin Cooper, and the first text message was sent by Neil Papworth of Sema Group Telecoms to Richard Jarvis of Vodafone. Now, over 90% of people who own a mobile device have it on them 24/7, and text messages—as the 84444 infographic indicates—have evolved to the point that they are being sent more than phone calls are being made.

Due to the popularity of text messaging, companies such as 84444 were established to help businesses learn how to market themselves, as well as raise brand awareness by using "short codes." By using a short code, businesses are able to utilize the power of the text message to offer customers special offers, deals, discounts as well as encourage people to vote as the TV show American Idol did back in 2003—and still does, in order to determine a winner each season.

As 84444's new infographic points out, text messaging may be only 20 years old, but the evolution of a text as a means for marketing has been extremely rapid. Even U.S. President Barack Obama realized that text messaging was an effective marketing tool and announced his running mate Joe Biden back in 2008. Also, as of 2014, 54 million Americans are now redeeming coupons that were sent to them through a text message.

84444's new infographic highlights key points of the evolution of a text message. A moment such as the inception of the text message is noted, as well as other instances in which it has proved effective as a marketing tool. The original infographic can be viewed by visiting the 84444.com blog.

King of Prussia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/30/2014 -- 84444.ca is a website offering a convenient mass-text messaging service. They offer their service to businesses that wish to market products and spread information. Now, they are running sweepstakes through their service and want to provide information to individuals seeking to do the same with some useful tips.

Offering a sweepstakes via a text message marketing campaign can be a great way to attract new consumers. People are more likely to sign up for messaging services if they think there is a perk or reward for regular use of the product. Sweepstakes and giveaways are great ways to do this. However, the way a company presents their perks and bonuses is key to effective production. 84444.ca also advises that it's integral to inform the consumer that they are opting-in to a text messaging service when they sign up for the sweepstakes.

Instant gratification is a great way to attract new consumers and get them into the swing of signing up for events that an organization produces. So, when it comes to the sweepstakes itself, businesses should tell consumers about how much of a chance they have to become an instant winner. Businesses should also be sure to include the percentage probability that they will instantly win, even if it's as small as a fraction of a percent.

It should be obvious that choosing a winner and delivering prizes is key to any test message sweepstakes. Therefore, inform participants of the drawing dates, and then disable entries after a certain point. In order to give the sweepstakes some semblance of fairness, an organization has to figure out ways to properly limit sweepstakes registrations. This goal is easily within reach by limiting text submissions.

Tell consumers that they are limited to one submission per contest, or per day depending on the magnitude of the contest. If people do send in multiple submissions, have a system in place to fire messages back to consumers to let them know they've already opted-in to the sweepstakes. This keeps consumers informed and deters attempts at cheating or flooding the books with submissions.

84444.ca runs successful events in Canada and keeps people informed. The idea behind this service is to spread information immediately, accurately and widely. 84444.ca is more than most text message marketing companies, it is the means to which information can be spread. People interested in this service should visit them at 84444.ca, or call them at 416-800-2490.

King of Prussia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/29/2014 -- 84444.ca is a text message marketing service that promotes the legal use of text message marketing through the use of opt-ins, ensuring that anyone receiving their texts has signed up to receive them. Bob Bentz, President of ATS Mobile and owner of 84444.ca, values close protection of the privacy and the integrity of his Canadian clients, and would like to shed light on several ways individuals can recognize and diminish text message spam. After all, Bentz and his company take spam very seriously, and individuals will only receive text message notifications from 84444 after they have opted-in.

Text message spam is a relatively new type of invasive marketing and can be kept to a minimum by using great discretion before disclosing any personal information to a third party. Often, when someone is filling out forms for a service or membership, there may be "check boxes" or something along those lines that need to be unchecked or opted-out of. If a user forgets to do this, they may receive text message spam. Individuals signing up for things with online application forms should also know the company they're working with. When receiving e-mails requesting personal information, double-check to make sure the sender is a well-known source.

Text message spam needs to be regulated before it reaches the magnitude of e-mail spam. When someone receives text message spam, there are steps that can be taken immediately. When a spam text message has been received, immediately forward the text to the number "7726" (SPAM). This is an instant short code set up by GSMA.org, a Canadian Publishing and Media firm. 7726 has been bringing companies who exploit text message marketing to justice, and has been featured on many websites including lifehacker.com. When an individual is a victim of a spam text, they should immediately forward the text to 7726, which then prompts them to take the proper legal actions behind regulating the company responsible for the infraction.

When someone uses 84444.ca to spread their message to a list of clients, they are required to document the methods used to compile their lists. This ensures that 84444 is not contributing to spamming problems. Requiring an opt-in before receiving text message marketing creates a more receptive consumer base that will show more effective marketing than an e-mail marketing campaign.

Know how to react when inconvenienced by text spam. Taking the right steps will keep phones clean and businesses in check. For legitimate and legally performed text message marketing campaigns in Canada that won't bring in fines and reprimands, contact 84444.ca today at 416-800-2490 or at 610-688-6000 if in the Unites States.

King of Prussia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/17/2014 -- 84444.ca's parent company, Advanced Telecom Services, is pleased to announce they're offering Restaurants To Go in Canada. Advanced Telecom Services has established a plan to turn mobile restaurant searchers into consumers through a suite of mobile marketing solutions.

With a mobile optimized website, restaurants are finding they're gaining more traffic and more customers are visiting their site. While browsing on a mobile device, consumers must have an ability to locate the phone number, address and menu otherwise they may choose another site. In fact, according to Google, 61% of visitors to a mobile unfriendly website will simply leave for a competitive site. The website must be easy to navigate in order to find this important information.

For example, pizza shops are finding this very helpful and beneficial to their business. They're making it simple and easy for consumers to order straight from their mobile device, which is convenient when users are out and about.

Restaurants To Go offers a mobile marketing plan for restaurants and includes services such as a custom QR Code, text message marketing, mobile app, mobile ad buys, social media, video, and mobile website — all into one tidy package.

In addition to optimizing their website for mobile, restaurants can also utilize text message marketing to promote their business. They can use these text messages to promote events, make customers aware of specials and offer mobile coupons. Text message marketing might increase traffic to mobile websites by sending a text that includes an embedded link to their website. According to The Mobile Path to Purchase Study, 60% of users who browse a restaurant website will be converted into paying customers within an hour.

This could be especially helpful on slow nights when there isn't much traffic. By sending a text when customers are most likely to buy, restaurants will gain more interest in their specific promotion. Restaurants may send out a promotion that wasn't on the menu in order to test out the product and see if it's a hit.

King of Prussia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/27/2014 -- 84444 is pleased to announce the arrival of Bret Dunlap's new mobile marketing book, "30 Days To Mobile Marketing Expertise." Bret Dunlap is the Co-Founder of Advanced Telecom Services, the parent company of 84444.

According to Dunlap's mobile marketing book, the average American sends and receives 41 text messages per day, and teenagers send an average of 60 text messages per day. Dunlap provides a graph, which shows that women text more than men and the 15-17 age group text constantly.

On December 3, 1992, the very first commercial SMS message was sent over the Vodaphone GSM network in the UK. In the early 2000s, text messaging became widely popular. Dunlap's book notes that since then, text messaging has evolved from 14 billion per month in 2000 to 184 billion in 2012. Virtually anyone can send a text message and an internet connection isn't needed, only a cellular signal. It's a simple and fast way to reach other people. Instead of dialing someone's phone number, and waiting for them to pick up, users can send a quick text and will usually receive an instant response.

Companies are always seeking ways to communicate with their customers. According to Dunlap's book, a new communication tool is emerging, known as text-to-chat or aka "text chat." Companies that are customer-service-oriented should consider implementing a text-chat service. This will provide a dialogue between customers and companies. It could potentially bring more traffic, provide better customer service, and is a tool that could differentiate companies from their competitors.

King of Prussia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/13/2014 -- 84444.ca is proud to announce new findings on how text message marketing fits into a restaurant's overall mobile marketing strategy. For those who'd like to grow their business, their company website should be user friendly. Most consumers use their phone nearly 24 hours a day for email, texting, searching for restaurants or browsing the web for information. Therefore, implementing a text message marketing strategy as part of a mobile marketing campaign will enable companies to reach customers faster and more efficiently.

For example, all restaurants have slow days. On those particular days, restaurants need an extra boost to bring customers in. With coupons and specials via text messaging, they are inclined to reach more customers. Sending a text around lunch time will also be likely to create more traffic to their website as well as have the potential to increase revenue via online orders. By having both a text message marketing plan and a user friendly restaurant website, these practices will most likely expand the restaurant's business.

84444, a mobile marketing company, specializes in creating campaigns, coupons, and sweepstakes via text message. They help businesses spread the word about their company by sending a special or a sale to bring in more customers. The professionals at 84444 know more consumers will be inclined to visit a site if it's easily accessible.
