Premium SMS company unveils turn-key mobile marketing service

PASADENA, Calif., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- NearU Search
(http://www.Qpons.NearU.us), a premium SMS search company, has launched a
functional demo for "Qpons," a tool that will enable small local businesses to
quickly and effectively implement mobile marketing campaigns. Text messaging
(SMS) is fast-becoming the most lucrative opportunity for content providers,
advertisers, and small local businesses to communicate with their customers.
Since the message arrives on a personal handset, this medium can offer
unprecedented immediacy and relevancy to the end user. With a service like
NearU, the mobile phone is poised to become the perfect conduit into
(literally) the consumer's pocket.
    "It's a way for small local business owners to reward their best
customers.  They can provide special offers, discounts, event invites, news,
or anything else their customers might find valuable," says Matthias Galica,
Product Manager for NearU. "In return, the business owner gets the holy grail
of marketing: their target consumer's undivided attention."
    The best part of Qpons is that the interaction works both ways, further
empowering the end user. A customer can use their mobile phone to search for
Qpons locally then choose the ones that appeal most to them. For business
owners, Qpons will provide monthly reporting to accurately measure response
rates and return on investment. Rates will start at $40 a month for 500
messages.  Business owners interested in using Qpons can try the functional
demo at Qpons.NearU.us and reserve their company nickname and introductory
pricing today.
