Long codes are simply 10-digit phone numbers like we are all used to when texting family and friends. The access to such numbers by systems, such as OTAir's, for strictly SMS business communications is relatively new. Using a 10-digit long code versus a 5 or 6 digit short code offers a number of benefits...chief among those being significantly lower cost, greater messaging flexibility and faster speed to market.

John Wanamaker is known for stating "Half my advertising is wasted, I just don't know which half." If only all media was direct response enabled, that might just help in optimizing marketing dollars.

Be honest...how many times have you almost made a purchase at a store only to put it back as you remembered having a coupon at home, at work or in the car? Use of paper coupons is not only environmentally unfriendly, but a problem for many consumers that results in loss sales. Put your coupons in your customers' pockets, not their mailboxes. Then they have it with them at all times, can easily redeem and, if you care to permit, might even share with their family and friends leading to even more sales. Read more...

We've heard it said that customer satisfaction means nothing...a satisfied customer will shop anywhere. It's a loyal customer that keeps coming back, ignoring the vain pleas of competitors to turn their back on your products and services. Loyalty programs come in a variety of flavors, yet text messaging can integrate with most any loyalty program to enhance the benefits to both vendor and customer. Read more...

90-95% of received text messages are read...over half within 15 mins! NO other medium approaches that scope of attention immediacy. The use of text for critical alerts best epitomizes our emphasis on reach, relevancy and response.

Mobile marketing may be what gets thought of first concerning business use of text messaging, but the reality is WAY more snippets of information are exchanged WITHIN an organization than externally distributed.

The "in the cloud" subscriber and message management capabilities of the OTAir SaaS solution are quite extensive and powerful.

Paging Patient Nevrsho to Dr. Examdo's office! Appointment reminders are an everyday chore for doctors, dentists, stylists, service garages and others.

Do you REALLY want to know what your customers think about your product or service? Even better, how about finding out ASAP? Maybe, even before they have left your place of business or finished consuming your product? If they are not happy, you definitely want to do something quickly to resolve an issue or else they may never come back...and even worse, tell others not to do business with you too. You need quickie surveys delivered and answered by text message. Read more...

There is a lot that goes into an order apart from what was actually ordered!

Groupon, LivingSocial and Google Offers may be all the rage, but in reality, those services put a lot of irrelevant offers in front of consumers. One only needs so many discounted, pre-purchased visits to local spas. OTAir's text messaging solution is extremely targeted to your best customers, because those are the ones who will opt to receive what you want to say directly to their phones. That's also a significant advantage over social media which has no guarantee of being accessed quickly on your customers' mobile devices. Read more...

We take the symbiotic relationship even further for magazines and newspapers with our unique "Best of..." voting enhancement solution. Read more...
