What we can provide:
 |
Text Voting and Competitions.
Text Voting
and Competitions have been around for many years and
have only become an accepted "household products" since the
launch of programmes like the X Factor, Who
Wants To Be A Millionaire and Popstars.
The
idea of text voting is that the public can for
example vote for their favourite singer or
with text competitions that the correct answer
must be text in to a question.
This is simply done by the end
user simply "texting" a keyword
and a their reply from their
mobile phone - A, B or C, Paris
London or Berlin are good
examples.
Textvertising provide all of the
following:
-
set a start time and an end time and the
system starts and ends your service automatically.
-
Create a dynamic link and make your
votes/entry results publicly available to
users or forums on an ongoing basis.
-
Configure how many votes/entries each person
can make.
-
Use reverse billing between 25p and £10 per
vote/entry.
-
View all results online after closing or request the top 3 results
be sent to your mobile
automatically along with a pre-selected random
winners phone number.
-
Our system can choose a winner for you - or
simply download the results and pick them
with an adjudicator.
-
Run up to 3 competitions at the same time.
Your account can easily be
configured to send automated
text message replies telling the
end user if they are correct or
not. You can also specify the
reply to be free of charge or at
a premium cost between 25p and
£10.

Voting by text message isn't
limited to just corporate events
or to TV and Radio shows - even
smaller businesses like bars and
clubs are using text voting for
such things as "Battle of the
Bands", "Miss Wet T Shirt" and "Karaoke Finals".
Many venues simply
want to generate a revenue toward paying for
events whilst capturing a database of mobile
numbers for future text marketing. Others just
wish to provide a fair customer interaction
rather than having individual biased judges.

Reverse Auctions.
More recently "Reverse Auctions" have become
ever popular with radio stations as a new fun
and interactive way of giving away prizes with a
twist.
The idea of reverse auctions is that rather than
putting in a highest bid as with a normal
auction, you have to put in the lowest bid. That
bid also must be unique. At the end of the
competition, the winner (with the lowest unique
bid) either wins the prize, or pays the amount
they bid.
The end user simply texts your
keyword and a bid in pence to
enter - your service will take control
of letting each entrant know by
text message if their bid is
unique, not unique, is the
lowest unique bid etc. When a
user is outbid they are also
notified.
