WHAMmobile Impacts OOH Signage

Passersby can text OOH campaigns and real-estate listings to find more information.

(01-27-2009)

WHAMmobile, a Houston-based, mobile-marketing and technology firm, is working with Clear Channel Outdoor to add an interactive mobile component to OOH campaigns.

Whammobile’s outdoor-advertising system integrates a keyword and short code to billboard campaigns, which allow consumers to text for additional product information. Clients can measure ROI from reports that reveal the number of consumers who sent text messages from the campaign.

Clear Channel Outdoor piloted the program in Boston, Houston and Dallas with such companies as Cirque du Soleil, Firestone, Incredible Pizza Co. and Texas Christian University. The campaigns promoted job opportunities, coupon offerings, educational advancement and events.

Clients receive reports that provide real-time statistics and inquiries’ contact details. This information allows clients to engage prospects with personalized communication about products and services.

Two other Whammobile clients, Lowen Corp. and Lowen Sign Co., are two sister companies that specialize in large-format signage and real-estate signs respectively. They added a mobile component to their real-estate signage and fleet graphics that adds tracking and ROI measurement to clients’ displays and shipping-fleet ads.

Lowen Sign Co. has integrated WHAMmobile’s real-estate product service into their signage. Realtors connect with wireless subscribers, who can text the code printed on the real-estate signs and view the home’s features, in text and in images. They can also link to other listings. Also, realtors receive real-time statistics and contact information.

Prudential California Realty Utilizes WHAMmobile to Streamline Communications with Buyers

RISMEDIA, July 14, 2008-WHAMmobile, a Houston-based mobile marketing and technology firm, announced that Prudential California Realty has begun using its mobile real estate listings offering to simplify the shopping process for home buyers.

This real estate listings platform, says the company, will allow home buyers to receive property information instantly to their cell phones by texting a unique message to a designated destination. The code and message is displayed on the home’s yard sign rider and eliminates the hassle of getting out of the car to retrieve a traditional “Take Me” flyer.

“With the popularity of text messaging growing every day, we wanted to give our prospective buyers the opportunity to use wireless communication to obtain instant access to our home listings,” Steve Rodgers, president and CEO, Prudential California Realty-Southern California and Central Coast. “By using WHAMmobile, we not only streamline the communication between our agents and buyers but also increase the visibility of our sellers’ homes, which is key in today’s buyers market.”

With WHAMmobile’s mobile real estate listings, prospective home buyers will receive basic information about Prudential California’s properties including property data, photos, maps, and contact request options right to their mobile phone. Agents receive contact information from the prospective buyer and can follow up at their convenience. The next release of the service, planned for summer 2008, will include features to schedule showings, deliver e-flyers, navigate to other listings, and more.

“Prudential California is an innovative company that embraces the fastest growing technology tools available, so we were pleased they saw the value in real estate mobile marketing,” said Jeff Lerner, executive vice president of WHAMmobile. “Both home buyers and agents will benefit from WHAMmobile’s real estate offering. Prudential California’s prospects can obtain and store information about their favorite homes, and it will eliminate the time and money agents spend on creating and distributing “Take Me” flyers.”

Prudential California is currently using WHAMmobile’s real estate offering throughout Southern California and the Central Coast.

Mobile Marketing World

A chance meeting over barbecue has turned into a $1.2 million contract for WHAMmobile.

While at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s barbecue cook-off last year, WHAMmobile President and CEO Matt Whitney met Clear Channel Outdoor’s Mike Reed, marketing manager for Houston, and cooked up a deal that is putting Houstonians’ fingers to work via mobile texting features on area billboards.

If all of Clear Channel’s 38 markets sign on, the deal could mean as much as $1.2 million for WHAMmobile over the contract’s two-year period, Whitney says. The Houston-based company is also the exclusive mobile provider for Clear Channel Outdoor and is already involved in six Clear Channel markets.

WHAMmobile uses the text number 555999 on campaigns. Customers can text a certain word to the number and receive messages, coupons and other information. There is also an opt-in database that companies can use to continually make contact with customers.

Jeremy Konko, chief operating officer and founder of qtags, another Houston messaging service, says qtags has done billboard campaigns in the past, but has not found them as effective as other forms of advertising. He warns that texting on billboards could run into some hurdles.

“There is a lot of legislation with regard to not allowing people to text while driving,” he says. “It will become an issue for companies because if someone gets into an accident and it can be traced back that the person was texting a certain advertisement at the time, it could lead to a lawsuit.”

Konko also says certain billboards could be out of reach for customers zooming past at a high speed.

But while WHAMmobile and Clear Channel are ironing out the bugs, two local companies have found success with billboard texting campaigns.

The Incredible Pizza Co. in Conroe has been using the service for a year, and has increased buys to its outdoor and mobile campaigns as a result of customer response, Whitney says. Incredible Pizza is also planning to use the outdoor campaign in its San Antonio market.

Meanwhile, Tampa, Fla.-based Merlin Law Group, which came into the Houston market after Hurricane Ike, is using the texting features to help Houstonians with insurance claims. Whitney says in the first 120 days of the billboard campaign, Merlin had 150 prospects contact the firm for service.
