Impiric keys in the right message with Mobileway.
Acknowledging SMS to be a powerful real-time tool, Impiric Singapore has initialled a contract with Mobileway,
offering Impiric's clients secure access to a ready SMS gateway.
Impiric will develop integrated campaigns by acquiring mobile phone numbers and market to the users accordingly,
allowing Impiric to use this SMS gateway to send SMS messages to its clients' mobile phone databases.
Delivering on a mobile phone subscriber's permission will determine the success of any SMS campaign.
As SMS is a low cost, real-time communication channel, with over 76% of Singaporeans owning a mobile phone
and over 3.5 million SMSs being sent daily, the current acceptance rate for the medium is encouraging
and if they are positively executed with permission, campaigns can offer excellent ROI.
Mobileway's core business offers global data access over networks and mobile operators,
allowing enterprises to send SMS through its networks.
Mobileway has a global connection with over 80 operators worldwide, providing an edge over competitors in terms of connectivity.
Mr Cyrille Even, General Manager and Vice President, Mobileway Asia Pacific, says, "Mobileway is very honored to be the chosen partner to work
with Impiric.
With our secure wireless infrastructure, global mobile operator connectivity, and strong technical support team,
we are able to complement Impiric's permission-based SMS marketing campaigns to deliver
to mobile phone subscribers information that is highly relevant to them."
He adds, "By leveraging Mobileway's large network of international inter-operator connectivity,
clients and firms can also engage Impiric's services to better target these subscribers on a wider scale."
Charles Tidswell, Group Director, Impiric Singapore added "Mobileway were the chosen partner due to their range of services,
their flexibility and their ability to access Telco's around the AP region.
This allows Impiric to implement SMS solutions across all our offices in the region when required.
