Media and Publishers

With so many threats to traditional media from blogs, apps, social media, podcasts and more, it's comforting to advocates of tv, radio, and print to know that successful text messaging campaigns are dependent on such media to acquire opt-in by mobile device owners.

The relationship between traditional media and text does not end with an opt-in. Rather, text further benefits tv, radio and print with instant interactive engagement...in essence, making those seemingly stale mediums digitally alive and able to compete with cutting edge threats.

Voted 'Best Way to Vote for Your Favorite...'

What's really cool is how we have worked with publishers, such as Landmark Communication's The Virginian-Pilot / PilotOnline.com, to significantly enhance consumer voting of their favorite businesses in local "Best of..." promotions.

Our proprietary "Best of..." voting solution...

  • provides a significant revenue boost for publishers above typical "Best of..." program advertising rates
  • is praised by business owners for increasing participation and for being able to have customized response texts to voters that reward future visits
  • is a convenient and instant voting mechanism for consumers
  • eliminates the need for paper based voting that is expensive to distribute, collect and tally
  • is ready to go, out of the box, according to a simply coding mechanism that can be customized for geographical sensitivity and prohibition of ballot stuffing
  • is available at a flat-rate price roughly based on quantity of participating advertisers and market size
  • enables instant revision of auto-response texts and monitoring of vote counts
  • can be further enhanced with optional advertiser-specific vote reminder broadcasts that increase the revenue opportunities for the publisher
  • has been proven in effectiveness across multiple voting events since our first implementation in March 2007.

Retail

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...

Media and Publishers

Text messaging and traditional media are great partners. Individuals tend to first be made aware of mobile engagement opportunities with organizations by television ads, radio commercials, product packaging, magazine ads, newspaper content, etc. In return, text makes the traditional medium instantly interactive. We take the symbiotic relationship even further for magazines and newspapers with our unique "Best of..." voting enhancement solution. Read more...
