What is your name? (We prefer your full first and last name but you can use either, or even a nick-name.)
Hank
Describe your business (product, service, quirky things you want to include, etc.)
I help business professionals create predictable sales goals by implementing proven marketing, advertising and promotional programs that actually “capture” the attention of their audience and entices them to take immediate action…
Who is your customer?
My typical client is: ->Frustrated with how long it takes to create their ad campaigns & promotions. -> Irritated, with how expensive the campaigns really are. -> Confused, knowing that going in to a campaign their ROI will be very low. -> Angry, that in reality: They’re wasting a large percentage of their advertising dollars, but they don’t know exactly where! -> Serious about growing their business, but the effort, time & money that's invested is not allowing their sales & marketing goals to be met. I don’t suppose you know anybody with these same issues…
How did you come up with the idea for your business?
The ubiquity of the mobile phone now offers businesses an unrivaled channel to reach and build relationships with superior results. With 3 billion mobile phones in circulation, virtually half the global population can be reached via mobile messaging. Our personal relationship with the mobile phone has also changed significantly in recent years. It has become a powerful, interactive communication tool, able to produce compelling graphics and feature-rich promotional content-in short, designed for mobile marketing.
What's been your greatest moment so far? (i.e. Signing your first client, getting the big order, some great PR?)
Providing a far more effective communications tool for a private education system which allows them to send different types of alerts to their parents, students and faculty. They are also using it as a marketing tool to communicate to the surrounding residential and business community.
We have assisted a nationwide non-profit in allowing their donors to contribute $5.00 at a time from their mobile phone. The donors contribution was then added to their next mobile phone bill.
What was your biggest mistake?
Not realizing the power of Mobile Marketing 2 years ago!
What was your smartest move?
Partnering with a major marketing agency in Los Angeles forcing us to research, create and provide a true true private label application which now allows them to offer mobile solutions their existing clients.
The ability to provide a wholesale solution to the marketing & advertising industry are yielding staggering ROI's for them AND their clients.
What are your business plans? (i.e. Expansion, franchising, selling for a gazillion dollars?)
