On the Heels of Groupon, LivingSocial and BuyWithMe’s Tremendous Success, 1-800-DAILY-DEAL Enters the Group Buying Market as the First Location-Based Vanity Number

NEW YORK, June 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Primary Wave Media, the nation’s leading provider of branded vanity telephone number marketing services, announced today the beta launch of 1-800-DAILY-DEAL, a location-based Intelligent Number(SM) able to offer callers local deals based on their exact location whenever and wherever they are via SMS text messaging. This announcement follows a history of success for the company. After launching 1800CableTV.com in 2003, Primary Wave successfully established and marketed the brand as one of the leading customer creation portals in the cable industry through licensing programs in major U.S. markets. In February, the intellectual property and existing business were acquired by Saveology.com, a leading comparison shopping destination.

As locally-focused group buying platforms and flash sale sites have changed the way retailers and consumers interact with one another, 1-800-DAILY-DEAL offers an increasingly upward and mobile consumer the ability to connect with local businesses and retailers at their convenience and in the market most relevant to them at that point and time. Empowered consumers better self identify money-saving deals on their own terms and at their convenience, which leads to better exposure and more returns for brands and merchants.

Equipped with Intelligent Number’s Voice2SMS technology, and upcoming GPS capabilities, 1-800-DAILY-DEAL presents customizable interactive voice options that allow callers to voluntarily “opt-in” to receive SMS short code messages of local sales and promotions based on their current location. 1-800-DAILY-DEAL delivers messages to the caller’s handheld device via SMS, MMS or web.

“Considering the popularity of vanity telephone numbers and the countless industries and corporations that have been born around them, the natural evolution of the group buying industry is to now include voice and SMS capabilities through an industry defining platinum phone number,” said Gregg Hamerschlag CEO of Primary Wave Media. “The marketplace has an appetite for this technology, as proven by the fact that we are already being approached by potential partners even during our beta phase. 1-800-DAILY-DEAL will give consumers a new, but extremely familiar, entry point to receive great savings right in their market.”

When a user calls 1-800-DAILY-DEAL, a proprietary location intelligence system will determine where the call is coming from and whether it is placed on a landline or mobile device. From there, the caller is offered an opt-in discount or purchase deal at a participating business within close proximity to his or her exact location. Users who accept to receive deal offers are entered into a CRM database to receive ongoing deals and promotions, a value add for brands and marketers using the platform.

Other services realize the significance of mobile, geo-targeted marketing campaigns. Recently, LivingSocial began running mobile video and voice-over ads within Pandora’s mobile app in order to offer consumers daily deals by real time location.

Carlsbad, CA and New York, NY (PRWEB) June 14, 2011

TechnoCom Corporation™, a leading provider of enterprise location solutions, and Intercept Networks, a joint venture between Primary Wave Media and TeleSmart Networks, announced today a partnership to enhance Intelligent NumbersSM with cloud-based location services and two-way messaging.

Intercept Networks’s Intelligent NumbersSM is a voice2sms marketing platform for toll-free telephone numbers. By combining dynamic Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology and a proprietary SMS short code messaging platform, the numbers create a single, mobile entry point for marketers to deliver multi-platform content to a highly engaged and receptive consumer. TechnoCom Location Platform™, a cross-carrier, cross-device web services platform, will further enhance consumer experience by adding location intelligence. TechnoCom’s network-initiated, web services platform makes location content available for any device type: mobile or landline. TechnoCom is an established location and messaging aggregator on all Tier 1 US wireless networks, covering close to 90% of mobile phones nationwide, which coupled with its ability to locate landline phones, provides a unified source of caller location for over 360 million devices nationwide.

Messages that are delivered to the caller’s handheld device via SMS, MMS, web or voicemail, are received before the call has ended and can include a brand’s web page, coupon or mobile app, the opportunity to enter a promotional code or the option to be added to a company mailing list for special offers and product updates. Brands can customize the menu options on the fly and callers who opt-in to opportunities are added to a CRM database.

TechnoCom Location Platform enables Intelligent Numbers to recognize and automate routing of mobile and landline calls. Landline callers are greeted with an alternative voice menu prompting the caller to provide a mobile 10-digit telephone number to receive preferred communication to their mobile device to streamline operations and increase customer satisfaction.

“Our collaboration with TechnoCom delivers enhanced value and operational efficiencies for our accounts,” said Brian Lynott, CEO of TeleSmart Networks.

“Together with TechnoCom we are continuing to explore and develop mobile marketing technologies that connect brands with consumers by leveraging voice services, location and messaging,” said Gregg Hamerschlag, CEO of Primary Wave Media.

Our platform provides enterprises with flexibility, cost savings and time-to-market advantages”.

Intercept Networks Launches the Intelligent Number™ in Beta
Proprietary SMS Short Code Messaging Platform Combined with Interactive Voice Response Technology Creates 360-Degree Direct-to-Consumer, Mobile Marketing Communications and Database Management Tool

New York, NY – May 9, 2011 – Intercept Networks, a joint venture between Primary Wave Media and TeleSmart Networks, announced today the beta launch of the Intelligent Number™. Intercept Networks has built a voice2sms marketing platform for toll-free telephone numbers through the combination of dynamic Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology and a proprietary SMS short code messaging platform, creating a single, mobile entry point for marketers to deliver multi-platform content to a highly engaged and receptive consumer. 

Intelligent Numbers present incoming callers with a customizable interactive voice options menu that allows callers to voluntarily “opt-in” to receive SMS short code messages. Messages that are delivered to the caller’s handheld device via SMS, MMS, web or voicemail, are received before the call has ended and can include a brand’s web page, coupon or mobile app, the opportunity to enter a promotion code or be added to a company mailing list for special offers or product updates.

Menu options are completely customizable around a company’s current marketing program and are managed through an intuitive, personal SMS software management dashboard. The automated voice menu can be presented during the call-routing process, while the caller is on hold or serve as the only function of the toll-free number. Each message presents participants with the option to “opt-out” at anytime by replying with the word “STOP.”

Intelligent Numbers have the ability to recognize calls made from landlines at which time callers are greeted with an alternative voice menu prompting the caller to provide a mobile 10-digit telephone number to receive preferred communication to their mobile device. An Intelligent Number is accessible from any mobile telephone device and service provider.

Benefits of Using an Intelligent Number

• An Intelligent Number from Intercept Networks can be added seamlessly to existing toll-free telephone marketing platforms, avoiding the need for consumers to adopt foreign dialing practices or download new technologies.

• With the ability to be leveraged in both online and offline advertising and marketing programs targeting an upwardly mobile audience, Intelligent Numbers provide a single, mobile entry point for both consumers and brands to communicate. 

• Intelligent Numbers allow brands to build a mobile database of highly receptive existing and potential customers and provide marketers with the ability to distribute personalized messages through a mobile channel with a 95% read rate.

• By providing target customers with the option to receive individualized mobile messages, brands are able to build trust while continuing an ongoing, direct dialogue with a highly motivated and approachable audience.

• Call routing and hold time is maximized while mobile databases are built organically and non-invasively.

“The combination of voice2sms technology with a toll-free, vanity telephone number completes a 360-degree communications circle between the brand and the consumer,” said Gregg Hamerschlag, CEO of Primary Wave Media. “We’ve seen firsthand how well consumers retain and react to toll-free, telephone numbers, establishing a direct-to-consumer connection for the brand. By pairing these numbers with the technology to continue the authentic consumer dialogue, brands are now afforded a channel to interact directly with their most engaged and loyal customers.”

During its beta phase, only toll-free telephone numbers licensed by Primary Wave Media will offer voice2sms technology to power Primary Wave’s Intelligent Numbers. Following a successful testing phase, Intercept Networks will bring the technology to market during Q2 2011, making the platform available to all domestic toll-free telephone numbers.

How Small Businesses Are Aiding Tsunami Victims

Nimble entrepreneurs are combining goodwill and marketing savvy to help with relief efforts in Japan, just as they have after past catastrophic events.

“If they can be good citizens and promote their business at the same time, that’s a win-win situation,” says Eric Bradlow, a professor of marketing at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.

Here are some examples of how small-business owners are lending a helping hand:

• On Friday, Meteor Games LLC created and began selling virtual cherry blossom trees, with 100% of the proceeds going to the American Red Cross. So far more than 1,000 have been sold for $7 apiece to players of the four-year-old firm’s Facebook game, Island Paradise. Meteor Games, headquartered in Beverly Hills, Calif., will soon also begin selling virtual Japanese maples trees for $3.50 and koi ponds for $4.50, and all proceeds will also go to the American Red Cross.
• Survival-kit marketer 1-800-PREPARE.com LLC is giving away 15,000 water-purification tablets to Relief International. Last year, the company donated the same number of tablets to a nonprofit involved in relief efforts in Haiti following an earthquake that rocked the Caribbean country in January 2010.
• Coupon company Drop Down Deals LLC is pledging to donate up to $1 million to the UNICEF. The San Diego concern, which formed just last summer and has 60 employees, will contribute $1 to the global nonprofit every time someone signs up for its free coupon plug-in until the cap is reached.
• Etón Corp. of Palo Alto, Calif. is sending roughly 4,000 of its home-safety and preparedness products — such as self- and solar-powered radios and flashlights — to Operation USA, an international relief agency.
• Zmags Inc., a Boston-based provider of digital-publishing software, used its own technology to create a free interactive e-book that tells the story of what happened in Japan and links to the websites of five charities that are collecting funds for relief efforts. The five-year-old business is also matching any financial contributions its 60 employees make to help out overseas.
• Innovative New Products LLC, a year-old toothbrush manufacturer, is donating 500 of its EZ-4 brushes, which each retail for $9.99, to the Japanese embassy in Washington, D.C. Owner Mitra Ahadpour, a medical doctor with a master’s in oral physiology, is based in nearby Rockville, Md., and says she will drop of the goods in person.
• Langosta Lounge, a casual-dining eatery in Asbury Park, N.J., is augmenting a half-price sushi promotion it’s been running for the past two months by promising to give half of sales the discounted price to the ARC as well.
• Radiation Shield Technologies Inc., a Medley, Fla., manufacturer since 1998 with 30 employees, has pledged to donate approximately 100 of its full-body nuclear radiation suits, which retail for around $1,700 each, to a distributor that will ship them to nuclear-plant workers and emergency responders in Japan.
• Through April 15 the American Red Cross will receive from Code42 Software Inc. 10% of sales of CrashPlan+, the Minneapolis company’s on-site, off-site and cloud-based back-up service, which starts at $24.99 a year.
