Myxer Launches $5 Million Campaign to Drive Mobile Web Adoption
October 13th, 2008Campaign provides 1,000 independent cell phone retailers in the U.S. with $5,000 each of online advertising at Myxer.com
Deerfield Beach, FL – October 13th, 2008 – Myxer, the leader in ad-supported mobile content, today launched their $5 Million Giveaway Campaign, offering $5,000 worth of free online advertising to 1,000 independent cell phone stores – totaling $5 million over the next 12 months. This is the first in a series of programs Myxer will launch to support wireless carriers and cellphone retailers to help boost data plan sales, which are becoming an increasingly important component of mobile industry revenue.
The online advertising giveaway includes banner creation, banner placements and more and is targeted towards each cell phone store’s specific geographic area. In exchange, participating retailers promote Myxer in-store via countertop displays.
“The $5 Million Giveaway Campaign is a win-win situation – independent cell phone stores get free online advertising and Myxer extends its brand reach to 1,000 new retail locations and helps create a larger total available market for high quality mobile content,” said Myk Willis, CEO of Myxer. “Our goal is to leverage the popularity of Myxer.com to help independent retailers and wireless carriers increase sales of data plans via ad-supported mobile content.”
Stores will be selected on a first-come, first-serve basis until 1,000 stores have joined the program. Given the phenomenal response to the recent beta rollout, it is expected that all of the allocated campaign dollars will be claimed by December 1st, 2008.
“We partnered with Myxer last month and have seen great results from the advertising from their site.” said Frank Brady, Store Manager for Airwave Wireless, Inc. “We have also seen an increase in the amount of data plans and premium web-based features being activated, as customers are eager to utilize this excellent free service for ringtones, wallpapers, videos, games and so much more.”
“The future of the Internet is the Mobile Web. Myxer and other high quality mobile content providers and services will clearly benefit from higher Mobile web adoption rates,” continued Willis. “Creative programs like our $5 Million Giveaway are just one way to encourage the adoption of the mobile Internet and moving forward we’ll continue to bring mutually beneficial programs to carriers,retailers, handset manufacturers and others.”
