Guest saintjohn Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I sat in on a panel discussion at WMC where several industry types were hailing text message advertising as the next big thing in club promotions. Sigh . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrzyC1414779017 Posted March 28 Author Report Share Posted March 28 Luckily I have unlimited texting on my phone but some of friends do not and this sucks for them as they get charged AND then I am unable to text them with IMPORTANT info as they are worried about their bill.

Guest Stogie Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I sat in on a panel discussion at WMC where several industry types were hailing text message advertising as the next big thing in club promotions. Sigh . . .This is not something new though, my promoter friends like three years ago were using companies like textgram.com to send out text messages of clubpromotions for free so i'm sure others are catching on now. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest saintjohn Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 No, it's not new, but the number of club-goers with text-capable phones is reaching a critical mass in the minds of these business people. They've been collecting email addresses for years, but the effect of that medium is rapidly diminishing. Because of that, they're now turning their attention to collecting cell phone numbers. At least the nightclub industry folks on this particular panel also seemed to understand that in order to not be annoying, their text message advertising needs to offer something, like "show this message on your phone at the door before midnight and get in free" or whatever.

Guest coach Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Does this actually work? I mean, does anyone show up because they got a text message? Is anybody on a text list and not on the same email list? I cannot imagine the thinking that goes into this. Did anybody go to the panel on it? Did they present any actual research that showed that this was more motivational than an email or flyer? And isn't this illegal in the same way that advertising faxes or sales calls to cell phones are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest saintjohn Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 No, they didn't support their claims with any research. It's the nightclub business, remember? Ego trumps logic every time.As for the legality of such advertising, they were only contacting people who had previouly signed up for such a service. Maybe there was a time in my life when having a promoter text me with a party "invitation" would've seemed exciting, but I can't imagine willingly subjecting myself to such a scheme now.
